Could of done without that today! Could do without an away trip to play the cherries on Wednesday night even more I should think. So if I had asked this question 6 months ago I am certain of what the response would have been. I know what i would have said. But I am interested in what everyone thinks now...if the dippers binned off Rodgers would you like Ashley to replace Pardew with him?
As Napoleon said (ish) .. Give me a Lucky General .. And Pardew is that...lucky (or a chancer depending on your take).. He lucks into a new formation/team ..ruins it when he goes back to his preferred formation / untouchable team players ..Goufran and to a lesser degree Tiote at the moment (they do not deserve their 1st team slot by 'right') So not to argue with 'Boney', I would prefer a 'good' General and Rodgers is that to me by a wide margin .. the luck will follow
We don't know if Goufran and Tiote are preferred starters at the moment. Tiote has only played when Abeid has been unavailable and Goufran only when Aarons and Sissoko have been absent. We should find out who Pards preferred options are in the next couple of weeks. As for the Rodgers/Pardew debate, a related question springs to mind: if Pardew had been given £100 million to spend over the summer, do you think he would have put together a better team than Liverpool (assuming, of course, that you believe the table is currently lying and that Newcastle aren't a better side than Liverpool already) ?
Who knows. Personally I don't think Liverpool needed 10 squad players and Balotelli. They needed a top drawer replacement for Suarez, such as Thauvin of Marseille. Their squad demanded it, that was how they were playing. We've seen it first hand - when we lost Cabaye we didn't really have a plan and it has taken half a year to address that problem. Liverpool will be fine and would be best served sticking with Brendan. In the wider question, under this regime with these restraints I would keep Pardew more or less above anyone. There's very little point in wishing for him to go, like him or not, because he won't. And I have personally not seen a manager survive stress like it - commendable, even if you don't like the guy. That he can do that, that the players appear to want to play for him, and that we're in 8th says everything. We've scored some frankly brilliant goals - it seemed overlooked that the Perez backheel was preceded by about 30 passes - and played as well as we can given our obvious limitations. I believe that football management is paradoxical. It's in equal parts insufferably difficult (due to expectancies, media, fans, etc.) and also ludicrously easy (it's just a game with a ball). Our manager has suffered, survived, listened, changed, played good football at times, got a team motivated and there's just nothing more to it. Do those things, you'll pick up enough points to be safe in the EPL. Which, like it or not, is our annual goal.
I agree. I don't think liverpool spent the suarez money properly. I rate some of those they bought but they didn't properly look at what they needed. They just spunked it all on players that were flavour of the month. Lallana for instance. I rate him highly but he doesn't seem to fit in a Rodgers midfield. On the Pardew topic I think that I agree with Rolando right now. I don't think our current squad would take very well to playing in the style that Rodgers likes to play.
I hate Liverpool and the more they suffer the more I violently two handed pleasure myself. The tears of Scousers, crying on about how great they once were or how Rodgers is a ****, is vital sustenance to me.
We all hate Liverpool deep down. I know you do to. Feel the burning darkside my young Padawan. I hope they sack Rodgers (I'd have the fat **** here all day long) and get that alki trampy looking bastard Dalglish back in to truly finish them off once and for all. I really hate Liverpool but a Dalglish managed Liverpool I truly ****ing despise.
It was your comment about violently two handed pleasuring yourself that caused the disturbance in The Force. . But yes, it is kinda nice to see them struggle - and whinge. When Stevie G finally goes, I think they might start to slide into mid table mediocrity for a long time.
I couldn't even describe the boner I had when he collapsed and cost those ****s the League. I have never suffered from chronic erectile dysfunction again after that wonderful moment.
That slip WAS a funny moment. I think a little wee came out when I laughed. Any other player would have been hilarious, but the fact it was their home grown hero certainly added to the laugh-o-meter rating.
Pardew is here for the long haul so we may as well accept it. Rodgers may get the sack but we will keep Pardew. He's actually doing a decent job and 8th in the table for Newcastle United is more than good enough for Mike Ashley. Brendan Rodgers has bought young players with huge potential but Liverpool F.C. demand results now. I don't think he's bought well at all and with his own signing Mignolet being dropped indefinately, he's not doing himself any favours.
