The arrogance of the man is outstanding to quote him,
He mentions that with Danny back we had the quality needed to score goals yet with 300 million quid to spend he's had the funds that we needed to make sure we were never light when it came to quality and replacing a man when he's injured,
He's had a pop at both the fans and anyone in the media who has turned on him quoting some 'conspiracy' how much of that had he discussed bringing up in public with Motson before he decided it was something that needed saying?
we can all do conspiracies they're easy to concoct but we're all better off dealing with facts.
Under Rodgers we've never had a back four or a keeper worth its salt,
Under Rodgers we've had one good season where he HAD to accommodate Suarez and Sturridge and go AGAINST his principles and system,
Under Rodgers we've had nothing but nonsense talk in the media, almost as if he's trying to be the next Bill Shankly with all his deluded talk and spin,
Under Rodgers regardless of some peoples spin on net spend we've pretty much blown 300 million on a squad that is only really capable of challenging for place number four at best, is it better off than Everton? Tottenham? even West Ham now have a number of players I'd take over ours and this from the very same man who thought he'd ridicule Spurs by saying with 100 million spent they should be challenging for the league, well we've done 300 million so what should we be winning? the champions league?
The absolute cheek and arrogance of the man to now after ONE yes ONE win against a team in the doldrums and a team who are probably going to be in and around the bottom 8, to start crowing on about what's wrong here and how one player gave us quality after conceding two goals to inferior opposition again is nothing short of unforgivable,
Ive got to be honest here I have wondered for a while if for some reason he'd be happy with his pay off to sort all his personal nonsense out because unless the man is the ridiculous mouth on legs we understand him to be then I don't really see what else it could be,
I read somewhere on a forum yesterday after the post game press conference a fan put 'Oh no! he's gone full Hodgson!, You never go full Hodgson!'
Correct, the toys have left the pram and the dummies been spat out, let the face rubbing commence!

Excellent post my friend. I wake up every Morning wishing and praying that today's the day the charlatan leaves our club. Yet we have to bear with his egotistical comments weak after week. I don't know how much more one can bear.
27 Sep 2015 10:28:54
Spot on mate!
27 Sep 2015 11:19:41
Top post, I reckon the vast majority of Liverpool fans would agree.
27 Sep 2015 11:50:35
Any manager that has sold players or been without players for one reason or another would of found it tough, with the likes of Suarez sold, Sterling sold, Sturridge injured, Gerrard end of career. That is a lot of quality gone.
27 Sep 2015 12:04:56
300m spent you should be challenging for the league, not scraping wins against Villa or getting thrashed by West Ham. How can you support this guy ahead of the club?
27 Sep 2015 12:12:52
Full Hodgson, you never go full Hodgson ha ha
27 Sep 2015 12:17:09
But mighty he has not lost them without funds to replace them, are you serously saying a manager cannot replace any of those players having spent 300m. My 5yr old probably could mate. I just don't get your point!
I understand you want to buck the trend and support mediority but please don't insult us while trying to do so.
27 Sep 2015 12:18:58
What it proves is that you can't replace quality with quantity.
It also proves that it takes time to build a team and you can't just sign players and slot them in.
27 Sep 2015 12:25:25
Yes mighty a lot of quality gone and replaced with ? Easy to sum up the whole bodgers fiasco. Liverpool 's captain is a a player BR didn't want / tried to swap/ sell! Our vice capt is a free transfer who been at the club 12 weeks? So he doesn't believe in any of the squad really does he? He needs to go pronto before he cause any more damage. Conspiracy? The mans deluded. Turning melwood into a prison camp
27 Sep 2015 12:39:14
But our recruitment as been wrong for the last twenty odd years, so it's not just Rodgers its the whole recruitment process.
27 Sep 2015 12:51:12
But that makes no sense mighty, did we not recruit sterling, suarez, gerrard and co, your argument is flawed. Which rafa was in charge we recruited torres, mascherano, alonso, reina et al some of the best players in the world at one time or another. I just don't get what you are trying to say.
27 Sep 2015 12:56:38
Don't know how you can say that mighty? So the reason we are crap is because Roy Evans failed with his transfers 20 yrs ago. Can you put that in writing for BR to use instead of the usual we lost Suarez crap
27 Sep 2015 13:02:36
Roy Evans actually used our academy players too 😆
27 Sep 2015 13:12:24
Ron you might want to tell that to West Ham and Billic. He seems to have signed players and they've hit the ground running. More pathetic excuses for your mate the Fraud.
27 Sep 2015 13:26:12
I'm not making excuses. I'm not saying who was/wasn't responsible for recruiting quantity to replace quality.
I'm merely making the point, you can't replace quality players with a stack of mediocre players.
27 Sep 2015 13:32:37
Ron I totally agree whoever our manager is the recruitment process needs to get better, but no doubt we are not allowed opinion on these pages.
27 Sep 2015 13:38:16
I understand the point you are trying to make, but you cannot simply just see everything so abstractly. At this level, things are connected.
You cannot replace quality with quantity but that shouldn't be looked in isolation. The man charged with replacing that quality (and building a team) is Rodgers and he screwed up, and is still blaming others for it.
27 Sep 2015 13:46:23
I think everyone knew that Ron apart from Rodgers, for the last 2 years we 've all been saying on here that 3 top quality players will make all the difference but every year we blow another 100 mil on 9 or ten players so we can send them out on loan. If we had bought 6 top players in those 2 years we would be challenging (with a decent manager )
27 Sep 2015 14:28:54
You can have an opinion mighty but its flawed and people are merely pointing it out. Its up to you to rebutt their arguments, don't whine about it.
27 Sep 2015 14:38:20
Time was no matter what we payed for them when they moved on it was always downwards.cant really say that with regards BR. All the players he let's go seem to flourish? Bar agger
27 Sep 2015 15:18:44
If our recruitment was spot on then we would of won plenty of trophies over the last twenty years, argument won I know.
27 Sep 2015 15:52:13
In the last 20 years we have won 4 league cups, 2 Fa cups, 1 uefa cup and 1 champions league. I can't see us winning a scooby with the Fraud in charge however
27 Sep 2015 17:51:59
Essexred equals mystic meg.
27 Sep 2015 19:14:21
21 agrees and not a single disagree. Seems as if no one is bothered too defend hi anymore. And he still believes it is a small sect plotting a conspiracy 😂
27 Sep 2015 19:42:13
The OP makes an excellent post. As for Mighty and Ron, you are of the same ilk who keep making excuses for BR to the point of desperation. The OP made great points and described BR's tenure to a tee but since you can't rebutt his points, you now post senseless comments that cannot be taken in a vacuum without connecting it with the full picture of his tenure. The last two summers, he said he needed top players yet each time he's been given 100m to get said top players, he's bought 9 and 8 players with no top player nor our GK issues being addressed. I guess your boy will blame little old me for his failure to get the top players he is craving for like he's known to do. Quality players sometimes cannot be replaced. Sometimes you have to reinvent the team and work around the loss of say, a Suarez which needs astute coaching acumen which BR is bereft of. Did Fergie try to replace CR like for like? No, he didn't because he knew he couldn't. What he did was reinvent the team and the system which still got them being competitive and won PL's as well. So Ron and Mighty, I just debunked your senseless post of difficulty in replacing quality.
