thaiduncankk Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Watched it this morning, and I'm afraid that's as bad as it gets. I had a season ticket for 28 years before moving here 10 years ago. You cannot blame individual players for a bad team performance, everyone must take some responsibility, but the fact is that Brendan has had enough time to sort it out, and if anything, we are going backwards. Four consecutive home games: Norwich, Carlisle, Villa and Sion, and against 3 of them we cannot beat of them over 90 minutes ! Add to that the state Villa are in at the moment, and we only scraped past them, it is nothing short of a disgrace ! He has to go now, but with his luck we will probably get an against the odds result against them on Sunday, and he will declare that we are 'back on course'. Oh, and by the way, next season we will not have Coutinho. On no account will he stay once the Spanish offers come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rijit Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) StevieH, The good English players in the EPL are the minority that's why the England team suffers at every major cup competition. There just isn't enough English players that are good enough and the problem stems from grass root development. Why do you think there are so many foreign international players playing in the EPL? because it pays really well. why don't any of the english players go and play abroad and learn different styles and ways of playing in la liga, the bundesliga, serie a? because the premier league pays too well. grass roots development is absolutely at the centre of the problem yes, but "there just isn't enough english players that are good enough" is too simplistic. the style of football that they're encouraged to play at a young age, and that is sold to the world by sky and the premier league, is kick and rush and physicality first. How many academy games have you seen to form that opinion ? Well the academy games i use to go and watch between 1998 and 2003 were never kick and rush, i think your doing the academies an injustice for suggesting that, two of the players i happened to watch at that time were Shelvey and Wilshere, neither of whom were encouraged to play kick and rush and both were on the small side. The problem aint really with the academies they produce players that are very suitably skilled, matching most other countries. Where the prob lies, and the clubs admit it , is transfering those skilled youth players into first team players. A simple and imo v realistic way to look at it is , clubs fail to turn boys into men and the ans is? Edited October 3, 2015 by rijit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Felt like a proper Derby at times that..some passion shown by the likes of Can, Sakho, Ings more than most, but we ultimately lacked quality and composure at both ends.

thaiduncankk Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Brendan Rodgers has been sacked! Disappointed with the result and overall performance, but I think it is a blessing in disguise. I wish him well for the future but his recent performances, starting with the latter end of last season, have not been up to standard. Whoever takes over must insist they scrap the 'transfer committee'. He should be allowed to choose who he thinks is good enough to play for the club, because, at the end of the day, the responsibility lies on his shoulders. There will be no shortage of applicants, not just for the salary involved, but they will realise that they cannot do any worse than Brendan has done. In my view they already have the replacement lined up, and whoever it is will be installed before the end of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, for me, is the only thing going against him. Yes, he is the man for the job. However, FSG will look for a 'yes' man who is willing not to upset the apple cart. They will look for another 'Brendan' who does not have as many cashews in his faeces ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macclad Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ironic they sack Rodgers after,arguably,Liverpools best result in about 10 matches ! But you have to say it was on the cards......they have been under performing for quite a while now. Interesting to see who gets the job......cant see Ancellotti coming myself......Klopp must be the favourite but what if Mourinho walks away from Chelsea and he could have had the managers job at Stamford Bridge instead. Theres always a safe pair of hands like Neil Warnock,I spose !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I suppose it was too much to hope that Klopp would still be around when the Prof decided to call it a day. Still, Martinez should be maturing nicely by then! BTW, anyone know why Martinez speaks such fluent vernacular English (like no other Spaniard I have heard).
