Did anyone really expect it'd be all plain sailing in Rodger's early days?

If you did, I think you were expecting a little too much.

Unfortunately, we're low in the table but we're also a team (again) who is in transition.

teams can read us like a book, saw an interview on the bbc news channel last night with pardew and he basically said as much.
he said if you stop suarez you stop liverpool.
we are very one dimensional, we pass it a lot but there`s very little penetration or end product, even if we do get into a decent position our final ball is usually wayward, and our crossing quite frankly is abysmal.

I have to say we did look rather predictable (in the second half anyway) against Newcastle, that is the only game which starkly reminded me of Kenny's side last year. A team that huffed and puffed, and lacked ideas, playing the ball around in front of their midfield and defense. There wasn't much movement at times against Newcastle and the tempo was too slow.

We could all end up being patients of some description (mental, sick) if our fortunes on field don't turn around.  :D

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I absolutely love Rodgers.  I think he's a class manager, a class person, and an absolute role model when it comes to the way he works.  I think he's a really smart manager who believes in the proper way to play football, and I believe that he believes he will be here for 30 years, will have a few generations of players who truly believe in what he's doing and will love Liverpool, and will win lots of trophies.  I wish I could see 5 years down the line to be honest, because I think he's here for the long-run.  We've been extremely unfortunate this season, but we have played some brilliant football.  We'll see come January if we make the right choices in the market, and as he continues to tweak little things I think it will work out well for him.

So far I've been beyond impressed with what he's done with the player's he's got at his disposal.

Wow.

He is class why? What has he ever done to be "class" he is at best uproven at worst underqualified.

A role model? did you see the way he treated carroll? even worse going to press to slag of downing?

Just beacuse he wants to play nice football does not mean he is the second coming.

Beyond impressed?  You really think that?  my god! He has done nothing apart from blood some young talent that impresses me. Hes loss record is worse than roys, he seems to love talking to the press, and we are 6 points above the bottom 3 at xmas.


All he does is talk down (like roy) about how 4 years wont be enough to turn the club around yadda yadda.

Any ar'sehole can look for negatives. Theyre not hard to find.
Slagging someone off takes no effort whatsoever. Its like moaning, it comes naturally to most people because its not difficult to do.
Go on facebook or twitter, listen to phone ins, read the papers: moan, moan, Fu*king moan. "I dont like him", "He's sh'it", "He's clueless" "He's not good enough" on and on ad nauseum. There is no easy solution to the situation we are in. But SOMEONE'S got to try and get us back on an even keel. Someone has to take charge and try and steer us back on track to where we want to be. Not Gandalf, or Merlin or any other cu'nt with a magic wand, but a real, passionate, hard working man who believes and has a vision. Someone who is willing to take chances and change things. Someone who will have the balls to make mistakes and take the flack on behalf of the team. Someone who is desperate to put LFC back where the fans know we belong. Someone who "gets us"
Criticise all you want but youre wasting your time wishing and dreaming that Mourhino will arrive on a white horse and save the day. Rodgers is the new Shankly and people would be better off looking for positives and giving him their support rather than constantly whinging like arl women
