Looks like a good call to give Raheem a rest. Two wins and a refreshed youngster for the run-in.

Unbeaten in 7 with 5 wins. The Sterling break will benefit the kid and us. Turning point was Rodgers switching the system to 3-4-3 with wing backs and essentially two 'number 10s'. Markovic, Lallana and Can starting to look like proper players.

Dare I say credit to Rodgers? Still the man for the job imo.

No team hits the ground running with so many new players and losing both last season's main men (one sold and one through injury).

I think Balotelli and Lovren were mistakes but I also think we are a striker and a keeper off being a really good side.

I'll just add that the system I mentioned above is innovative and I've never seen another team use it. We have a forward thinking manager who isn't afraid to take risks. Credit where it's due.

I just don't understand this biaseness against Rodgers. The criticism is really ridiculous. This claim of he has wasted 150 million or 210 million or whatever and nothing to show for?? Can you lot not see that in Sterling, Coutinho, Lallana, Markovic, Moreno, Can, we have one of the brightest young talents in Europe with tremendous potential? Then there are still players like Ibe and origi and ilori to come in. We should also sign Manquillo permanently. If we can keep them together which we should, we will have quite a special team. I cant remember in modern times this number of talent coming into the first team. I don't think he has wasted all the millions. But they were used for longer term than most of you inpatient ***** wanted. I do admit that all is not well. For example lovren and balotelli appear to be loust signings. And we still have a soft centre. What BR needs to look into now is a dominant and dependable CM, a better goalkeeper, and an out and out striker in the mould of torres/ Owen/ fowler who can score consistently. And the owners need to support this.

The punishment needs to fit the crime, which at the moment does not.

Well said Mags. The usual culprits are having a break eagerly awaiting our next loss so they can start again.

So you are saying after spending over 200m we need to wait another 2-3 years for these kids to come good and then maybe, just maybe we might be a competitive team in the league and Europe?  :laugh:

Love your deluded optimism but its a incredibly flawed model as I have pointed out time and time again.

You could have said the same thing about Arsenal in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009...... You get the point don't you spaghetti noddles? Or is that a little too hard to understand?

When we have them all in their prime hitting their straps and winning trophies only then can we laud the plaudits on Rodgers that you seem to be doing a little bit too pre-maturely.

We have a massive hole to fill with a replacement for Mignolet, Gerrard and a striker to partner Sturridge up front (essentially our spine), so sorry if I burst your little fantasy land filled with nice smelling flowers, rainbows, sunshine and unicorns.

Make no mistakes the vultures will start swooping for Coutinho at the end of this season and if we can't hold on to him, none of what you are saying means diddly f**king squat.

Noddle head.  :no

Having a sook because someone disagrees with your delusional opinion, as usual.

Very pleased we won yesterday, however, fans can't get away from the fact that:
1:  BR is still underachieving in all quarters of coaching, and his management of youngsters is bad (Academy players etc).
2: You can't get away from the fact that he has behaved exceptionally poorly with some players,treated them so badly, to the extent that he's been alienating them.   
3: His Press Conference comments are things that could be included in the Beano. He seriously needs to stop talking to the Press. He has been told by the Owners and others around him to think before speaking, has he listened? no he hasn't.
4: As I said, we won against Sunderland, and I am pleased, the fact is though, LFC's defence is still a shambles, we played high press football, so why wasn't this implemented much earlier in the season? Anyway, remember Sunderland, as far as I know, don't have a striker good enough, that is why they wanted Borini, is he good enough for LFC?
5: The Owners are part way through their full top down review of the Club, depending on the recommendations of the review, some major changes will take place. It is likely that BR and the Coaching staff will be replaced. Remeber, BR made several promises to the Owners for this Season. He hasn't kept any of them so far. Dumped out of the CL, (BR promised LFC would at least get into the last 16 or even beyond), He promised the EPL title (which is one of the major promises he made). Miracles do happen....what do you think, LFC win the title this season?? there are others that he just hasn't kept. He said to win the title, he'd need to spend, so the funding becomes available, and everyone can see the result -he brought players that didn't actually fit the system he wanted to play  :help

Kash, beyond your posts I haven't seen any commentary of evidence in regard to point 1-3 or 5??
