You should inform him to give up his season ticket so someone with more passion and love for the club can sit in seat and generate positivity? I mean why spend hunderds of pounds on a season ticket when all you're going to do is moan, groan and jeer your own team/manager/owners etc? He/She might as well save their money and stay at home and generate their negative bollox alone in their own living quarters.

I believe in Rodgers, I think he is doing a fantastic job setting up the team, doing the right subs and tactics. We dominated majority of the games this season but we do lack options in the final third. Suso and Sterling are young and inexperienced, to expect them to score goals more frequently is a bit premature. We do not have a proper striker except for Suarez and it's crucial we buy players in Jan to add to our depth.

Joe Allen is a class act. - let's count the number of attacks 'our Joe' breaksdown in today's match.
However, unlike Sideshow Bob who is the real star and unsung hero.
Allen is merely an over rated candidate for Midfield General Elect.

From this day forward let him be known as:
***SIDEWAYS JOE***
Midfield unsung hero and superstar of LFC

So it was written; so it shall be done...

And so sayeth the guy who thinks Jay Spearing could be moulded into a Premier league player

Only the dumbest of the dumb would want Rodgers out. These people live in a fantasy world where things are sorted and problems are solved with the wave of a magic wand (or wad?) and suddenly we are transported back in time to the late 80's. Get real guys.
Rodgers is the best person to do what needs to be done. He is young and still learning and finding his feet. We are 6, yes 6 (count them) points away from those high flying, CL contenders neverton, and we are absolute sh'ite according to them. He has to make do with what hes got and if you consider what players we are using then its a great testament to him that we are where we are. Yes you can point the finger and blame him for some bad decisions but I would rather have him than most, if not all managers in the PL. Arsenal are struggling, as are city and chelsea. The mancs are scraping through and without the help of the officials wouldnt be in the top 4. By christmas neverton will have faultered and we will be, hopefully in prime position to capitalize when we get a striker who can convert the many, many, many chances we create.
Keep the faith!

He's spot on, they backed Kenny and Comolli to the tune of £150m, now I am not saying that Rodgers needs that much money to bring in a few signings to boost our fortunes, but he certainly needs more than the £30m he had available to him in the summer. You can only buy so much on such a small transfer budget. United spent nearly our entire transfer budget on Robin Van Persie! Chelsea spent £32m on Hazard and City spent £54m on new arrivals. If we want to compete with these teams then we are going to need to spend a lot more than £30m on three players. If we want to attract some of the best players in the world, we'll need to spend money on those players and they won't come cheap.

After we conceded the goal to newcastle, BR looked really stressed though... pressure must be getting to him. I agree, tge owners need to back him and back him now. We can't end up like another arsenal... who will bet against them not winning anything again this season?

by **jacdaniel** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 4:00 pm

I cant really blame BR for anything so far. I don't think he had any say in Kuyt, Bellamy or Maxi leaving. And I don't think it was his choice not to replace Carroll.

We've been playing nice football and dominating most matches. But lets face it, we're practically fielding a team of kids these days and we can't expect too much from them too soon.

The ball is in the owners court at the moment. They're either gonna back BR with funds over the next 2 windows or else we'll have to wait a few seasons for the squad to mature.

Changing manager again won't achieve anything.

i actually think changing manager would achieve something if that manager was rafael benitez but rodgers deserves more of a chance to put his stamp on the team than one half @rsed transfer window in which the owners kept their hands tightly on the purse strings.
to be fair to him rodgers isnt able to field a side of his own signings and until he can do that it`s probably a bit unfair to judge him.
saying that i dont think he`s made the most of the resources at his disposal, if benitez was given the job in the summer i dont think we would have seen the farce we saw at the end of the transfer window so we wouldnt have a striker crisis, we wouldnt be 2 points off 4th to bottom and i dont think we would have conceded nearly 30 goals by early november either.
i think benitez could have done a lot with a strike force of suarez, carroll and and £10m million to spend on another forward, not to mention another £15m to spend on a centre mid (although to be fair to rodgers i think allen is a cracking player)

I'm content at the moment. We've been unlucky in a few matches and, if we had beaten Evertone and Man City, like we should have, we'd currently be sitting on 15 points - level with Arsenal.

We need to stay in touch with the race for 4th and we're doing that in my view. Six points isn't much and i'm certain that the signing of a new striker and winger is all we'll need to challenge for that CL spot.

If Suarez's derby 'goal' is allowed and Shelvey scores his chance yesterday we're two points of 4th & the moaners are doing cartwheels
