    But his dossier talks about his overall goals for success so it must happen, and now that they have a Chelsea bench warmer up front and an attacking midfielder that wasn't good enough and too lightweight to break into a failing Inter side they are well on their way to world domination.

    The dossier should have been about Rodgers, not by Rodgers.

    Seems the way of the modern World. it's what you say you can do, not what you can actually do that gets you noticed.

    When I was learning my trade , we had to write "self assessments". What a load of bollox.

    I described what I was aware of that I needed to improve upon, self critical like. Got told by the Boss I should talk about the positives, or at worse, make a '**** sandwich'. Loads of positives, bit of bad stuff, loads of positives. I told him I struggled commenting about the positives, as that was what he was bloody paying me to do in the first place.

    500 pages is a helluva **** sandwich

    When will the scousers fans realise that their manager is a pile of...dung <whistle>

    End of February ? March ? End of season?

    Delusion and retardedness mixed together not easy to overcome...I am starting to feel sorry for these poor buggers...

    This thread was a great idea.

    Its almost as if I i knew what was coming.

    I made 3 sack watch threads and all are going according to plan

    Mancini - Terrible, certainty for the sack between now and May

    RDM - Gone like the wind and to top things off, replaced by the worst possible candidate in football.

    Rodgers - tick tock

    Did Rodgers really say that it was "a near-on perfect away performance."? If that is true then that guy must be watching a different game from everyone else. They had no central midfield for most of that game, they gave the ball away stupidly on numerous occasions and they allowed Hulk to have complete freedom.

    When Tikitaka gets sacked he might well try for a job as a spin doctor in the alastair campbell mould. He is the best example of a manager who is more spin than substance. Luckily for him he has the deluded and the retarded as his main audience. He has them eating out of his hands. On their board, you read: " give him time. He is on the right path. he is getting the players playing the right way with the passing game blah blah." WTF. Incredible. No one can see the bl**dy wood for the trees as he spins stories after stories. His view of the world becomes fact. How the hell did that loss of 2-0 with several chances missed by cheating bucktooth "the perfect away performance"?

    Sooner or later the miserable scousers will wake up from their trance but by then it will be too late <ok>

    I can understand them saying that the manager should be given time etc. After all, Fergie had to be given time to get things right. I think the problem with Rodgers though is that he's not got the track record to suggest that he will be able to get it right. United stuck with Fergie as they knew the club needed a complete overhaul from the youth system to the first team plus he was a manager with an impressive track record both domestically and in Europe. There's talk of Ancelotti going to Liverpool. Now if they had him and things weren't going great then it would make complete sense to give the guy at least 3 seasons to rebuild Liverpool.

    He's full of wind & piss. I agree with tha above, in that he's the master of spin & deflection.

    To describe a 2-0 away defeat as a "a near perfect away performance" is insulting his audiences intelligence, he might have got away with that kind of **** in Swansea, who (with respect) have a much lower expectation level. But he won't get away with it at the pit for long. The more savvy reds have seen through him from early on tbf, but day by day, more & more are starting to open their eyes & quesion some of the absolute ****e he's spouted during the last few months. The man's a blarney spouting chancer, he's got **** all to back up his increasingly hollow words.

    of what lot, the lot including Martinez?

    First season in the job, plastics ain't got no patience I'll say that, lets see how the likes of you deal with Moyes if he doesn't even come close to winning the league.

    Unhappy that we scored 9 goals in 2 games without Suarez, which I am sure pissed tobes off as he was dying to let us have it if we didnt manage to score, and yeah Sturridge a Rodgers signing, he is now having to make do with slating Rodgers, can't wait to see where Everton end up next season and United for that matter, this is Moyes real test to see if he has what it takes now that he's joined a club with a chance if winning something.

    Martinez to be fair to him has at least unlike David, won something

    I give him until January, if they are not competing for a top4 place then which they won't be then i believe the pressure will start to build.

    Rodgers inherited a mess from Liverpool's previous Messiahs, messrs Dalglish and Benitez. Liverpool spent over £100 million in Dalglish's time and in the main have had a paltry return on that investment. Liverpool's problems can be traced back to the moment Benitez upset Xabi Alonso by pursuing Gareth Barry. Alonso left and the team regressed.

    When their owners appointed Rodgers knowing what they did about him, they will have known that it would take time to get them back where they want to be. He is introducing a different style of football to the one to which Liverpool have become accustomed, more free-flowing and attack minded rather than the cautious approach favoured by all his predecessors as far back as Houllier.

    The players need to acclimatise to that and some players they have will not fit that approach and so will need to be moved on. He has made 1 or 2 smart signings in Coutinho and Sturridge who are going to be instrumental in their progress. He will need to strengthen their defence though as that has been leaky at times this season and they are still vulnerable at Anfield, dropping points to teams they'd never have done in their heyday. But he has improved them a little this season and further signings in the summer should provide a further springboard, especially as they won't have Thursday nights in Europe to distract them in the league. See where Liverpool are in a year's time before casting judgement.
