Glad to read some of Rodgers comments before the Burnley game about how he should have changed the system and tactics much earlier in the season and identifying that his early season tactics just don't work.
Heres hoping we get top 4 and then he learns to start the season the way we (hopefully) finish it.

Haven't seen the conference but if he actually said that then it's the first time this season I have some hope he'll be a good long term option as a manager/coach

I can't believe this is a rumour lol, I thought it was a fact he said it, Or is it a smoke screen ? lol

Just in case anyone has yet to read it the direct quote was
"I needed to make decisions that would allow us to get back to somewhere near what we had been and the transformation of the team, with everyone talking about the system and how dynamic it is, has been good to see. I should have done it earlier.
After that Palace game I felt that it doesn't matter how much support you have, the team is not functioning and it could not go on really,
But I certainly wasn't going to roll over and die. I will always fight for my life. I love it here and I want to be successful here."
Granted he gives himself the typical Brendan Rodgers self love at the end but glad to hear the rest of it.

What self love does he give himself imred. It seems to me that he can't win with some of us. He simply said that he "loves being here" and that he "wants to be a success". How does that come across as "self love" to anyone. Yeah his system and other things weren't good pre the utd game but he changed things & results, so maybe a bit of credit is deserved & not more of the same slagging off. He was the best thing since the wheel last year & now he's a joke. I know we had Suarez buthes gone now, end of story. He also had to get a lot of new players used to the team, epl, speed etc. I know he says stupid foot in mouth things and wouldn't accept help (especially defensively) but maybe when the goings good don't slag him off even when he doesn't say things to warrant it. I know we are all entitled to have different opinions and this is mine. Cheers

well said . It's about time some credit was given to BR any team would struggle when you take out 60 goals. But he's turned it around admitted he got it wrong so hopefully he can learn from it YNWA
