Anyone who doesnt see that as a good thing should fu'ck off and support someone else.

I can't recall anyone saying that starting with 3 wins isn't a good thing.

Well said mate...
That poisoned little pr1ck has nothing positive to say, yet posts ad Infinitum. Should be out on his bike with the rest of the school kids.

Those who were moaning like arl tarts through the transfer window because of the lack of a "marquee" signing are looking pretty foolish now that we are undefeated and on top of the league.

That post was major silly I'm afraid. How is Rodgers in the Shankly mode?    He hasn't done  diddly squat yet for Liverpool.

We're not looking that foolish yet,especially if we lose the next 6 games. 
3 games means nothing at all.

What do you think is silly about it?

How is Rodgers in the Shankly mode!?

I'm not bothered if we exit both cups early this season either. i'd rather just focus on us winning as many games as possible in the league to get us as high up the table as possible.

Rodgers has come at a time we were in crisis. He is a celt who has restored the work ethic and team spirit. He has passion and drive and is 100% committed to making LFC great again. Is any of that un-Shanklylike?

Not fair on BR to compare him to Shankly.

If 6-8 years down the line we are winning titles and competing at the highest level in Europe then we can mention BR in the same breath as Shankly

So he came out and denied it. Ha that's fitting. Hope it planted the seed of doubt into Moyes's head.

I agree we will have to wait and see how the players react to real pressure but so far they have handled what's put in front of them. We have also considerably strengthened our defence and added brute strength in Sakho. If the mentality is right and the talent is there then our hopes for resilience in the team are in good shape.

Currently our defence is in good shape as I mentioned but so is our attack---Suarez----Sturridge----Coutinho for me is one of the most potent in the league based on form.
Our Midfield is made up of Stevie G Lucas and Henderson, and if Lucas can regain some of the form pre-injury, we are in good shape there also. We are a bit light in quality back-up for those players but if injuries can stay at bay we have a starting 11 good enough to beat any team in the league. Add to that the good form the team is in currently and you could have the ingredients for a very juicy season.

Shankly made us great - Shankly won us titles , Shankly built the foundations Bob used to build the house on.

BR has done nothing yet - comparing him to Shankly is not fair on both of them. There is no one like Shankly and there never will be again.

Harsh, but good point

Edit: wrong thread

Sorry, I didnt know that Bill Shankly came to Liverpool in 1959 and was a success straight away and made us great overnight
I thought it took him years to win titles and lay foundations?
You obviously know something I dont. Maybe some of you could edit this and put in the facts:

My bad

Sarcasm aside, you still havent told me how hes not like Shankly?
Youre not like the other pr'ick are you, not answering questions and talking sh'ite?

No one said anything about Shankly doing it overnight so why would we need to edit anything ?

If you want to compare the two then knock yourself out.

I believe there is no comparison at this moment - he hasn't earned the right been mentioned in the same sentence as the most amazing man to ever grace our club. He has done nothing at all.

In fact here is a question - how long does BR have to get us into the CL again

Is it this season ? Or does he get a third season ? Then maybe a 4th ?

How long do we go without CL before thinking that BR actually can't do it ?

Neither did Shankly for years you brain dead pr'ick. You can come over all sanctimonious and righteous as you want
I dont care what you believe or whether you think hes earned anything, and I certainly dont need your permission to do anything so fu'ck off bell end
With respect
Thanks
