"He would say: 'You're going to play every week, you're going to play every game up front with [Luis] Suarez'. I'd leave and get home and he would ring me and say: 'Fulham and West Ham want you and I think it's best you should go.' I had just had a conversation with him 10 minutes ago. So I would go back and see him and he would say the opposite again.
"It was the same thing round and round and round. On phone calls, it was: 'I think you should go.' To my face it was: 'You'll start every week'. It was mixed messages. He was messing with my head. I lost respect for him, to be honest."
Seriously RBG this quote is ridiculous and implausible. If your taking the word of a failed ex-player and using that to denigrate our manager you've really lost any sense of balance and certainly any sense of support. If it was a wool dishing this out on the forum you would have them hung, drawn and quartered.
I think we can all agree our football was awful for the first half of the season, we can certainly criticise Rodgers for that. Similarly multiple changes of players and a move away from the 4-3-3 that was so successful last season, to a 3-4-2-1 have got us playing top four football now. For me, the ability to turn our form around the way he has is very impressive and bodes well for us going forward. Definitely not the time to be thinking about yet another manager.
Listen Fivecups I respect you as a poster ,but don't ever doubt my support lad ....I don't like the man simple as that ,and I'm honest enough to accept the critique that
I'm afforded by my stance ,but seriously fella if you would have been at Anfield the night we sailed unceremoniously out of the most illustrious competition in Europe
and seen the pain etched on the respective masks of those in the Kop ,then you would give up the ghost on this one mate.
I think in general I have been quite respectful towards Rodgers ,yes I doubt him ,but have never given myself over to casting nasty asides about the man or used
derogatory references or for that matter expletives to describe him... I think given how emotive the issue is with me personally Ive done quite well under the
circumstances ,especially given my propensity in the past to sometimes be as cutting as f
ucking cheese wire when the need arises.
So perhaps we should leave it their mate ,and let the future under Rodgers unfold ?
