English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 446 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The problem that most Liverpool fans have with Rodgers is that there doesn't seem to be a plan. We are in his 4th year at the club and we're rebuilding yet again. Regardless of the fact that we have sold Suarez, Sterling, and have had Sturridge injured we still don't have a foundation for a simple style of play. This is probably the reason why our player recruitment is so ****ed up. Rodgers brought in players this past summer specifically for the 4-3-3 and now we are back to playing a variation of 3-4-3.

Plus the absolute abject results and performances this year are ****ing god awful.

first season under him you looked dodgy when he implemented his 'philosophy'. it seems to be ignored that this was abandoned the season you nearly won the league as you seemed to play much more direct and rely on the sterling, suarez, sturridge strike force. now they've perhaps reverted to type and again struggling. never been remotely convinced by him, but still finished 6th last season. think he deserves this season tho, anything less than 6th don't think he couldn't complain about being sacked.

Busquets technique is all wrong. The hands should never move, less body movement - he should be playing almost dead. In fact he shouldn't even be using two hands. He's all exposed to getting caught.

Pool fans are in a tricky spot wrt to overall satisfaction where 5th is right but feels ****. I just don't think change this early in the season is the solution here.

He hasn't found the right balance for well over a year now. It's his 4th season and he's spent close to 300m and we still suck and have an unbalanced squad. You can blame the transfer committee but Rodgers has said more times then I can count that no players get brought in without his approval.

True, he struggled last year but wasn't really ever played in his best position.

But as I said it's right to be concerned, I just don't think a new guy will make much difference to pool.

ZAIDS has clearly shorted Liverpool massively and is currently talking his book.

Villa- H
Everton - A
Tottenham - A
Southampton - H
Chelsea - A
Palace - H
City - A
Swansea - H

Realistically we're probably not going to be picking up enough points in those fixtures to get us around the top 4 spots.

Yea I don't really either. The damage has been done with this mass buying of players that don't seem to fit a long term plan.

We've somehow ended up with a midfield 3 that rivals the worst in the league. I don't mind all 3 individually (although Milner is overrated in this thread) but together it's awful.

Lol he threw a dirty elbow two weeks ago against Everton.
About half the stuff he does is dirty, the other just classless

If you touch someone's face in any capacity in a violent manner it's auto 3 game ban and red. So should be 6 games since he did it twice imo.

and if jt hadn't fallen on his arse in moscow we might be wondering whether the best managerial talent in the game today is jurgen klopp, diego simeone, pep guardiola or avram grant

team was old and crap by then ala mun 2012/13, it needed serious spunking to get back to fighting shape.

but a CL win in 08 = roman might be in the mood to splash the rubles, and it woulda been right around the time that a certain leonel messi started looking like a possible goat. never know..

instead they lost & he bought deco and unibrow.

I've no idea what Liverpool fans itt actually want. Your wage bill is such that you should never be out of 5th-7th. Deal with it.

You ran superhot to bink having one of the top3 players itw for a couple of seasons. Enjoy the memories of that 2nd place finish and the goals from that 100 goal season.

It's only going to get worse from here on in as your position in the wage-spend table goes down season on season due to Teh-Porn-Baron-Olympic stadium, Holloway Rd-tubestation-stadium, etc etc
