fonsboy Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think Rogers will be given until Sturridge's return and a few more games after but cannot see him installing the confidence back into the team then he will be replaced by a German :-) Them Germans.... Ideally I would rather we did not have to change the manager but I thought again on Tuesday we were average . To listen to Rodgers inane comments you would think we won well . I am certainly not looking forward to todays game. Stoke will bully us off the ball . And there is no way we can wait until Sturridge is fit God only knows when that will be . As far as a new manager is concerned I also think Klopp fancies the challenge . A manager in the premiership is a great job no matter how badly you do , your contract is paid up . Its not what you want to hear but when talking about a new manager next season, and players for that matter, you have to factor in that you won't be offering CL football in all reality. It will take a lot to prise Klopp from Dortmund regardless of that so i just can't see it. Diego Simeone anyone? Whether we want to hear or not it is true for a number of reasons we will struggle to bring in either a big name manager or player , as you rightly say very unlikely we will be in C/L next season & FSG`s wages structure altho the latter I agree with . Utd paying Falcao nearly 300k per week is disgusting . But back to todays game , the way we are playing & the type of game Stoke play with their big side they could well steamroller right thro` our very weak midfield . They will bombard our goalmouth & play on Mingolets weakness on high balls . Great to admit how wrong I was , We played some good stuff in the 2nd half , special mention for Lucas ,I am not his biggest fan , but he probably had his best game for 2yrs he looked really fit , pity he did not put away the chance he had . One downside we must get a very quick striker in January , hopefully Jackson Martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtramsbottom Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'll agree to disagree with you. And you can disagree to disagree with me if you want. Bob is 100% correct... Noun[edit]pie-eater (plural pie-eaters) (pejorative) a person from Wigan in northern England or the surrounding area 2005 — Wiganers do like pies, but the term Pie-eaters is actually an insult, dating back to a pit strike when Wigan miners were starved back to work before their St Helens counterparts, thereby eating humble pie. ------------------------------- I live halfway between Wigan & St Helens & know this to be fact. Reckon you must live in Billinge then Kurt , nearly a pie-eater not quite eh . I live under a rock! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickBradford Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm not a Liverpool fan (though my team, Crewe Alexandra) has (or had) a special relationship with LFC. What amazes me is that a hard-headed Ulsterman like Rodgers ever came up with the notion of buying a known lunatic like Balotelli. Given the number of top-flight managers who have offloaded this complete dingbat in clouded circumstances, what seizure must Rodgers have had to think that Balotelli was the answer to the "no-Suarez" problem? The man's mere presence about the place has a bad effect if you're trying to build a cohesive squad mentality, and I can't see success returning to Anfield until they've managed to jettison this utter minus quantity, which may not be easy or quick. Balotelli has become radioactive; no-one wants to touch him. Could he find a home at Elgin City, perhaps, or TPS Turku? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellydog Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 And another two cents about Mario, I'd bet the love/hate relationship he had with Mancini produced his best form ever. Has he ever been as productive before or since ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blaming him Boj, just making a point that when everything is rosy and things are going well I'm sure it's fine having Mario the jinxster in your squad but when things are going tits up it is different. Add to be fair the the way he carries himself up front in a team that needs to show some life, some ambition, some grit he looks like a soppy fanny . No doubt the whole team needs to look at themselves but that boy will never understand what it means to have the privilege to be a star footballer.

Still don`t reckon Rodgers wanted him , but he has certainly given him more chances than Lambert . At the end of the line we need a much better striker than either of these two .
