Majority of fans are saying BR is the right man for the job and even though we're lying in mid table, we are a team that is a Work in Progress and need time (Oh no, not that phrase again, we've been saying that about KD for the whole of last season).
But to be honest, I would like to believe that if I think with my heart because we are playing some lovely football this season. But when I put all emotions aside and take a bird's eye or panoramic view of football management of the PL and analyse it objectively, past and present, then BR may not be the right man to lead Liverpool forward. WHy?
Look at our old assistant manager managing WBA now, they are flying high at the moment and are in 4th. Di Matteo (yes I know he was sacked by their idiot owner) took over a Chelsea side who hardly knew his management style and led them to FA Cup and CL glories all within 4 months. Mourinho took over Chelsea in Aug 2004 and won the PL titles 2 seasons in a row. Rafa at that same time took us to CL glory in his first season and finishing 5th. And even Laudrup who has newly taken the job at Swansea are doing better than Liverpool. What concerns me also, our players are better than WBA and Swansea. Now don't you think the sides that those managers took over needed to get used to their tactics? Yet, they didn't need time and had to be a work in progress for a few seasons to see any positive results. So why are we all saying Rodgers need time and we're still a Work in progress? I am not bashing BR but could someone explain to me based on the examples I've given why BR is still the right man to lead us forward despite DiMatteo, Mourinho, S.Clarke, Rafa and Laudrup who didn't need that much time. My heart tells me to expect great things under BR in the near future, but my brain tells me he may not be the right man.
