swansea under rodgers was very gung ho and he's brought that here so untill the players adapt that philosophy and implement it better then we will continue to suffer defeats in this manner.
Are you a fan of Rodgers and his football philosophy? You don't seem sold on him or his philosophy from what I can see.
yeah have to say i like the lad and who doesnt want to see their team pass the opposition off the park every week.that performance we threw in against city was among the best ive seen us offer in years even though we shot ourselves in the foot i was still impressed with the manner in which we played and more than happy to see us continue in that vein.
ive had reservations from the start about whether he is experienced enough to manage us at this time.its a big ask of him to cope with the pressure and expectation here compared to swansea and im sure he's beginning to realise that.letting a striker leave without having a replacement in the bag for me is testament to that inexperience,not just his but the owners and ayre included.maybe at which the speed he is trying to implement his philosophy is another mistake and would be much better utilizing what he has better and slowly window by window adding the final touches.
what you get with inexperience is mistakes and he will make them but as long as he learns then he will be ok.
allen has been an excellent signing and i like what i see in borini.he has a touch on him and will come good but is just struggling with the physicality of the league atm.havent seen anything from the rest but hopefully they can do a job.
it was always going to be a bumpy ride and while i wouldnt go as far as some and declare him a reincarnation of shanks i definately wouldnt be pushing the lad out at the first pot hole.id be disapointed if we didnt finish higher than last season tbh but as long as we show signs of progress and not get relegated id be happy to see him continue.
an unbearable situation for us next season is to be looking for another manager so its important that rodgers succeeds and has the support of the fanbase but it doesnt mean that a blind eye has to be turned and the criticism when its due held back.
On yesterday's showing the team/club heading towards very uncertain time this season, I am very disappointed
with experienced players the likes of SG, Renia and Co who were making too many mistakes and did not set a good examples to the younger players likes of Shelvey, Sterling and Allen etc.
The management team should really now try to hammer in the idea into their minds that the team need to fight the drop and getting points on board at all costs, and forget about 4th spot or wining cups, the situation is really serious, we have a punch of very average players and very average team, a weak squad lacks top quality players, we are not like Arsenal, spurs, or even Newcastle. The owner of LFC are mean and won't spend top money and they want to run the club with shoestring budget and we have just witnessed their actions during the transfer window!!. There hard times ahead facing LFC, and I hope we are lucky enough to get through it safely, otherwise we can go the same path of Leeds Utd when they were in top flight, they also had too many mangers and owners during trouble times, and look where they are now!.
