it is a week since my last post. of which I was criticised for being positive for asking that we back the staff, team etc, only to be hit with "did you see how we played last season?".

Yes I did see how we played last season. but I also saw how we played the season before when we ripped apart Arsenal and Everton and others, scored 100+ goals and played the most entertaining football since the early 90's and came second in I have to admit was not a very strong league.

But we did finish 2nd.

We have a manager who because of his shiney teeth and big nose and because he has been vocal and positive throughout a difficult season which he has not delivered has come under emence scrutiny and been subject of some very childish critism. yes I agree he is an easy target.He sets himself up for abuse.

BUT

We are not in the champions league, yet we are still attracting big signings. I would like to know how or why?

I would like to hear that it is due to us recovering from a difficult season and filling the gaps left by Mr Suarez and the in coming players can see the direction we are heading.

Not that Brenda is rubbish, the transfer commity is buying the players. Brenda is not involved etc etc.

Until we actually see that Mr Rogers has been sacked we back him and the board and we build to push for CL and again see a manager who sets a team out to win a game and not to avoid defeat.

If i was to be drawn in to any constructive critisisim. (sorry too may Tigers- Spelling)

Goal keeper. We need better.

Defense. Could and should be stronger.

Midfield. Looking sound and varied options.

Forward. Need a proven 30 goal a season forward (fit Sturridge will do).

Let the critisism begin.

There isn't a '30 goal a season' striker in the prem.
Also we haven't attracted big signings, we have signed one, and the other two we are linked too are happy to stay.
Our defence has been poor for rodgers' whole tenure but hasn't improved at all. ? We played good attacking football for a year, but then changed our style, and when It didn't work he didn't change It back to the one that made us second but just tried to solve both problems by playing 3/4 players out of position

How about adding to your constructive criticism list.
1.Stop wasting money on players that aren't needed.
2. Playing players in their correct positions.
3.Playing a formation that suits the players instead of trying to fit the players into your formation.
4. Bring in a defensive coach when its obvious we need one.
5. Thinking about what your going to say before you open your mouth.
6. Using a CDM player when you have one (Lucas), this is a special role and requires a set type of player.

There could possibly be more. I don't think most of the criticism was unfair. I think some of it became abusive, but I think by the end of the season it was bore out of frustration more than anything as some of the issues were glaringly obvious and looked as though BR was just ignoring them. Oh and I forgot 2 biggest issues.

7. Stop saying everything is rosy and praising effort when it so obviously isn't, fans are not blind. It just makes BR seem foolish.
8.When you sell your best players you replace them with as like for like in quality not panic buy rubbish because you've been dragging your feet all window, putting in derisory offers. (This seems to be getting better). A big problem in that we need a quality striker is still there.

Agree with the last 4 points, not really sure what's you're asking re the rest of it. Yes we got 1 big name signing with a no nonsense, make the right offer approach. Obviously the Liverpool name still carries some weight, couts would probably have been asked an opinion from RF and it probably didn't hurt than one of south Americas brightest stars recently played for us. Milner seemed to want to play more than anything, whic he would have struggled to do at most of the CL teams ( though I do rate him highly)

Shouldn't you be giving full support to each and every player as well? You can't give unwavering blanket support to the manager and then suggest that we need to replace his playing staff as well. If you're happy to take the "I support the manager while he is manager " stance then it should be equally important to do the same with every player too

There are lots of positive things going on but the fundamental issue is that Brendan is not up to the job.

He has been backed fully by FSG and he has been given time but he has been found wanting in so many areas. His public comments have been an embarrassment and at times downright destructive.

He has not been able to sort out our defensive frailties.

He has played too many players out of position.

He has not embraced the need to properly bring through our youngsters by gradually integrating them into the first team squad.

He has been tactically inept.

Liverpool should never ever be beaten 6 : 1 by Stoke and the manner of the semi final defeat to Villa was unacceptable.

Brendan is not a bad man but he is just not right for us at this point in time. If we had Jurgen Klopp with us now then I reckon he would get us 10 or more points than Brendan will with the current players. That is how important the manager/ coach role is.

So whilst FSG continue the good work with the stadium expansion and bringing in new players and investing in youth they really do have to replace Brendan. To my mind if there is any chance to get Klopp in they simply have to do other. It will be the best bit of business that they could follow. It would be a total game changer on so many levels.

Whilst Brendan remains we will be fighting with one hand tied behind our back. It was right for the club to part with Pascoe and Marsh. We just have to complete the process and say thank you and goodbye to Brendan.

Natural poolie - I wouldn't disagree with your list of constructive criticism. I would point out that many could be directed at LVG last season and I hear Arsenal and City fans say similar things about their managers. This is all normal questioning of your manager. Where BR outdoes anyone is his foot in mouth problem. But the central point of difference between the pro and anti LFC is about whether last season is Rodgers level or the season before? I wavered massively last season but I can't forget BR had us ticking along at the required run rate for CL (and possibly title challenge) for 18 months. And he put together another strong run in betweem the shite last season. That's what I pin my hopes on.

Boom, the issue is that the BR of 2014, is the BR who in the first half of the season, was playing the same failed system but we had two deadly strikers who could out score teams hence, we could win games without playing well or defending well. It was Bielsa who advised him to play the footie we all knew and loved in the second half of that season that nearly won us the PL. Then, last season was the time for BR to make the jump and cement himself as a true genius by using said advice and building on the credit he had garnered. He blew it completely due to his ego and his false pride as well as pointless stubbornness. He ditched the system and went back to the slow, boring passing game that he came with on his arrival that got us nowhere then and made the players look terrible and our results suffered for it. Then, he goes back to the high press when his job was on the line and we played better and won those games even tho, we were poor in some of them. He tried to be his own man and was found out to be incompetent when running the who w with no advice or input from others. BR is a perennial ditherer who has shown his level which is not good enough for a big club. It is his dithering that has led the owners to take decisive action, take charge, and rip responsibilities away from him because he seems to have no plan or strategy, never adapts and is indecisive both on the pitch and in the TW. So for me, I know BR's level now. When left on his own, he is a woeful manager. But when he takes advice from others or if his job is on the line and gets desperate, he does the right thing. No big club or fan base should have to put up with that type of senseless dithering, incompetence and indecisiveness

Redohio. You often conveniently forget things to support your pre determined and fixed position.

To say we didn't play well a lot of the time in Rodgers first two seasons is to be a denier. LFC fans and the world of football lapped it up.

It's the more exciting we've played in more than a decade.

{Ed001's Note - in the second half of the second season, yes we played good football, in the other season and a half we were not good to watch.}

I cannot understand the almost total anti support this site attracts. just over a year ago we were lining the streets welcoming a Rogers led team into anfield every home game with anticipation of a possible league championship. A league championship that has illuded us for almost a life time, we have had hero's managing our team since 1990 and all have failed to provide the illusive title. A title that now is open to the highest bidder in my opinion.

Unfortunately it appears that our owners do not either have the willing to provide the funds or the financial backing to supply the manager with the all beating team.

We have a young manager. A young manager who is now under extreme and impossible pressure to succeed. BUT is it all his fault?

I whould like to know who is picking the players we are buying?

Who is making the financial descisions?

I believe if we sell in my opinion a jumped up Sean Wright Phillips to City who seem to attract potential only to turn them into has beens and use the money to invest in a couple of quality signings we will again be lining the streets in anticipation.

Please, instead of all of the BS about how crap LFC is and get behind the staff and team and see what will happen.

{Ed001's Note - the fans were behind the team last season, what did happen?}
