Alas I cannot support this kind of football we're playing under Rodgers anymore. The reason I was very critical of Hodgson was because of the type of football he made the team play and right now the football we're playing is no better.
BR is playing hard to beat defensive football with poor defenders. But the blame cannot be laid just on the manager. This circus is also created by FSG. The owners should have just fired BR after last season if they felt that the objectives were not met. Instead they gave BR one last chance and probably demanded to see changes to meet their objectives. BR I'm afraid is too inexperienced and too young a manager to stick to his guns/ his philosophy and wanted to keep the job. He changed his philosophy for fear of failing again and FSG has in a way forced these changes on him.
Of course still relying on Skrtle and Lovren is BR's fault and not having a better spine is as well. It is looking atrocious, the football that we're playing, no character, no gameplan and very similar to Hodgson's football.
It probably is a good idea now for the owners to approach Klopp's agent and try as much as they can to lure him to Liverpool.
Edit: Our squad is actually not too bad. I am becoming more and more impressed with Benteke, he is not just a typical target man, he has technical ability and movement as well. When Sturridge comes back, we will have quite a decent strikeforce with very good creative players. I believe the new manager could also make use of Illori, Sakho and Skrtle. If we could splash some cash on a premier CM, our team can be a top four team.
