Can I ask every one calling for Rodgers head say what they would have done differently.
We lost suarez, sturridge injured, lambert wasn't bought as a starting striker, most people on here have been skating Lucas for years, skating Henderson infact slating most of the team.
I'm not for one minute saying Rodgers is perfect, if I had my way I'd have had a dof ages ago, but Rodgers is one of the best coaches we've had for a long time, I don't blame FSG fo being pissed at Rodgers he was an idiot to promise what he did, he is an idiot in front of cameras.
He needs to be made to handle the head coach role and that's it. If he won't then his loss, I like his style on the field a lot, but I want to see a title at anfield, I think he is the coach to bring it but need to accept help.
Last season was too early for our team and we lost our best chance to win the title.
In my opinion we are a couple of seasons away from a true title chance, but we should be in and around top 4 all season.
This season was always going to be hard but I'm glad we are only a few points off of 3rd place,
Seriously with out using what you know now what would u have done differently at the beginning of the season?
We lost Suarez sturridge injured so what could we have done differently?
As far as balo who truly knows who's choice he was ?
Interested to here from all those who want Rodgers out what they would have done and if Rodgers goes who to come in? Ain't may out there available?

For a start- in our first 12 PL games, Lucas didn't make the team for 5 games and was an unused sub for 4 of them. Aside from being a bad idea in my opinion, also led to him looking around for other places to play, which is also bad.
For a good chunk of the first half of the season, we also reverted to boring possession for possession sake football, which was also a terrible idea.
Going back further than that, I'm still not impressed with the summer window and think we pretty well failed to fill the gaps that were actually needed instead spending money on a lot of depth we didn't necessarily need.

1. Keep my mouth shut on a far more regular basis
2. Not revert every season to slow possession football which after the first 6 months he should have realised wasn't working, never mind the first 3 years.
3. Not scorn the very concept of additional help and hire them on merit. Accept a wider management structure, don't try and control everything.
4. Pay closer attention to the youth team and ability that we have their instead of buying young foreign players we have absolutely no need for i.e. Alberto
Who to come in instead of him? Someone who has a track record of using the sort of management structure a bigger team should have well, who bases their decisions on what works not what they want to do and who respects the growth of young players as a solid sustainable resource.

Buy a good striker to replace Suarez for starters . Use guys like texeira and ilori instead of spending 45 million pounds on Lallana and Lovren use all that to get a good striker

What striker? I agree we should have out more into a proven striker but not sure who we could afford as to tempt them would have taken serious wages we haven't got.

World class so called striker isn't coming to Liverpool to play scond fiddle to Sturridge. BR is not going to play 2 at the top.
ED01 quoted true on Ings arrival.
{Ed001's Note - quoted?}

ED01 qoute ". Out of all the possible reasons, Y would the lad come to us to play second fiddle to Sturridge. "
Spot on Mate, Y would he come to us when we would never play 2 at the top.
{Ed001's Note - ok cheers. I thought you meant you were quoting me in the first place.}

LLR
Martinez Lacazatte Bony El shaarawy (more ofa second striker) Bendtner ( The exams tension seems to be getting to me ;-) ) Are some examples who are better than balotelli and who would have been attainable though I am sure there might have been other factors at play. I am sure others could name several other guys

1)"Keeps his mouth shut" Yeah because that truly hurt the way we play. Mourinho should have relegated all the teams he managed, the way he talks to the press. If that's a reason to critisize a manager.
2) Agree, probably his only mistake in the 3 seasons he was our manager. Taking out his first, he only made this mistake this year as the second was a learning point.
3) Nothing guarantees a "help" will solve our problems. His teams so far played the best football I've seen from Liverpool the last 20 years or so. His transfer dealings are not that bad. He took us in his 2nd year from 7th to 2nd, serious title challengers, when we didn't have any chance of even considering 2nd place. We lost Suarez and if it weren't for his mistep in the first 6 months we would have been challenging also this year, with a team that is a 3rd position challenger at best.
4)You don't rush youth players when you challenge. You try them slowly slowly. Moreno is young but more ready than any of our youth in his position to play week in week out in the first team. We doubt Rodgers ability to handle youth players? Like Sterling and Ibe? Rossiter, Wisdom and others to follow most probably? The only player we didn't need this year was Manquillo.

1) Mou and BR are not in the same class hence, comparing them is pointless and stupid
2) Excuses that are not supported by the facts. that system has been proven to be a failure YET he used 26 games (in all comps)to force it down our throats and not until his job was on the line that he changed (per Ed01`s info. That is not a mistake. It is a stubborn manager trying to prove us all wrong and in the end, outsmarted himself. Only an insane human being will do the same thing expecting diff results
3)He knew Suarez would go and was given all the money to cover his departure and he did not. If the help won`t help him, why are the owners and fans recommending that he gets it? Baseless suppositions as usual
4) Would that be the sae Ibe that he floged off on loan before he was ordered to bring him back by the owners (per Ed01) if he wanted a new player? Or the same Wisdom and Kelly he flogged off on loan or sold in place of Manquillo who we have found out is not good enuff? Again, naseless rhetoric not supported by the facts.
Dude, you really need to have BR pay you for irresponsibly defending him because damn, you are working too hard on his behalf.
