The Brendan Rodgers / Replacement thread

[HugoEkitikeN01]

All forgiven, we can approach Sir Alex Ferguson.

This is hilarious, really. I only pointed out the difference in judging disasterous seasons and the similar problems faced by both managers who failed to replace their shining star striker, not compared managers, not dismissed Klopp.

What makes me laugh is NONE of us watch or take interest in the Bundes but now I am facing experts on Klopp and Dortmund.
Please no one embarrass yourselves by saying you watch the Bundes every week.

Dortmund were quality under Klopp when they had the likes of Lewandowski, we were quality with Suarez. Klopp loses said players and disaster follows, ok fine, bad season but the goodwill of his previous seasons gets him a free pass, fair enough. We lose Suarez Brod also failed ot replace him with quality. Bt he gets a far worse hammering for it, rightly so cos we are Liverpool fans. Brod lucked out with Suarez but there is no chance Klopp lucked out with Lewandowski. Not saying he did cos I don;t believe that ****e anways

Rodgers misses out by 3 ponts so no goodwill for him. had we won the PL last year Rodgers would have been bulletproof this season and any claim to the contrary would be a ****ing lie.


You guys..

I didnt say you were comparing their careers, but you were comparing their current situations and asking why Klopps reputation has been mitigated by his previous achievements and why Brod's hasn't.
You said that.......

I compared the current situations to judge the sentiments felt towards both managers from the same fans.
Not to actually compare their seasons per say, big difference but you jumped in at the deep end mate

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

Aren't Dortmund the stand out second team in Germany? Didn't he win the two league titles whilst Bayern were in a bit of a slump too? Nah, **** all that ****, Klopp is the messiah!

Again, I would point to the difference in sentiment being down to their previous achievements, in that what Klopp achieved was phenomenal and what Rodger's achieved was just "pretty good".

Everton's defenders have scored more goals than Liverpool's strikers


Liverpool fell just short of winning the Premier League title last season, making the near certainty that they won't even finish in the top four this term even more acute.

Defeat to relegation threatened Hull on Tuesday night means they will need the wheels to come off Manchester United during the run-in to stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

With such a disappointing campaign coming to a conclusion, fans and pundits are looking for someone to blame.

Some are calling for Brendan Rodgers to go, others have blamed it on the sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona. But a staggering statistic perhaps suggests it's Liverpool's strikers who are at fault.

Incredibly, Everton's defenders have score more Premier League goals than Liverpool's strikers.

The four regulars at the back in the blue half of Merseyside, Phil Jagielka (3), Seamus Coleman (3), Leighton Baines (2) and John Stones (1) have all had joy in front of goal, giving them a combined total of nine goals.

Meanwhile, Anfield's four specialist strikers Daniel Sturridge (4), Ricky Lambert (2), Mario Balotelli (1) and Fabio Borini (1) have managed just eight.

That will cheer some toffee fan here

But that is a real indictment of Rodgers' cock up and flawed thinking.

Or maybe if Everton didn't need its defence to cover for Martinez's flop [HASHTAG]#recordsigning[/HASHTAG] then we wouldn't be 14 points ahead of them even without a reliable striker?

3 points and that assessment of Brod would be quite different wouldn't it, 7th to first against moneybags Chelsea United and City.

Goodwill is based on three points it seems. He'd be an Anfield legend if he had gained 3 more points last season.

That is NOT how you assess a manager

But again, what has Rodgers won during Uniteds slump? Nothing.

Thing is, Klopp's position should surely be considered worse. He's been there seven years so it is very much his foundations and squad. Brod lost his star man after only two years so it was always going to be harder to cope.

City Chelsea? The PL has 3 bayerns

even as a joke thats a piss poor one.

kloops record... and i have to be clear they have a director of football there who you have to say makes calls on transfers. is a very good one. even if he had a partial hand in rues, hummels and the like not to mention gotze and lewandowksi... well its a formidable record all round.

Now you are getting it.
I know its silly, but yes, winning Liverpool their first league title in 25 years would have bought Rodger's unbelievable currency.....he didn't do that though, he came close, but he didn't.

I am not saying you should sack him. Just pointing out that I can understand the sentiment towards Brod, and why some Pool fans covet Klopp.

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

But again, what has Rodgers won during Uniteds slump? Nothing.

During Man utd's slump? You mean whilst Man City and Chelsea were still fighting? Who was the alternative to Bayern or Dortmund?

Oh and that too, 7 years like, Brod not yet 3 even

see this is the issue... you lot are ASSUMING I'm saying he is the messiah.. thats a long leap of logic.

I have already said on other klopp thread i am sure he has already lined up a new move to a big big club.

I am saying why are you running him down.

to defend a loudmouth like rodgers?

I think thats shortsighted in the extreme

So all he has to do is concentrate on the football? that makes this season even worse

Yep true, I made that point, The PL has 3 bayerns City Man U and Chelsea, Man U fell out only leaving Liverpool to deal with City and Chelsea. It should have been nailed on

And you're assuming I'm being serious about Klopp, I'm not, I'm just taking the piss because his current stance isn't too dissimilar to Brod's.
