They are both prob our best signings since Torres arrived at the club.


Coutinho has been poor this season so far?? If he plays like that till next May, he'll be leaving on loan.

I meant Sturridge was only a fringe player at City and Chelsea. So an unknown quantity when he came to us. Let's face it, when we signed him, nobody at LFC really wanted him, we wanted proven class, but they thought "well we have nothing to lose, so give him a try" ...kind of attitude. That was the response to Sturridge's signing.

Wasn't Suarez a Dalglish Signing?

I'm not sure where to start with that ?

Coutinho is a quality signing who will not be leaving on loan in may - he could be bought for a lot of money

Sturridge wasn't an unknown quantity at all and how do you know no one at LFC wanted him ?!? BR tried it sign him in the summer ?!

I'm quite sure Brendan will bring progress to this club...but how far I don't know? when cross swords with the best of the best (which he hasn't a chance just yet) in Europe, that will be when we get to know just how good he really is. So far he hasn't the experience nor the opportunity to do it with us, but I think we are on a long (and expensive) road back to the top and hopefully with the owners financial backing, we get to see the results sooner rather than later. But one step at the time will do for now...

I won't go so far as offering him a new contract, until we get to see where he can take us this season.

BR is still young, inexperienced and still on the learning curve. This means he got the Liverpool job too early. From what I can see, he does have the potential to be a good manager who can lead us back to CL footie. But for now, he has to be given time to learn the trade to manage a top club with high ambitions and to deal with more Luis Suarez like sagas in future. Because without CL football any quality players the club may have will want to leave for clubs that can provide CL football. The thick heads of FSG must know that we need to spend to get some marquee signings that fit into Rodger's style of play right now. If you just buy kids, you'll forever be a Work In Progress or Feeder Club to all the CL participating clubs throughout Europe and finishing 5th to 8th every season.

What I struggle with is the unnecessary criticism of BR who is absolutely determined to achieve success. At this time last season Evertonian's were relishing in the thought that we could get relegated if our poor early season form continued. To suggest as, as some posters have, that BR has achieved nothing is simply nonsense. Those same individuals would prefer him and the team to fail almost to prove their somewhat questionable point that Kenny Dalglsih was disrespected by the owners and should never have been sacked. I think Kenny walked away with close to £8m including compensation for his 18 months as manager. I know for a fact that he has no hard feelings towards the club and remains very much a part of Liverpool FC. We move on. Top of the league even after 3 matches is strong evidence that BR is heading in the right direction and deserves a lot more credit than he is being given by some posters.

Not sure why Kenny needs to be mentioned in the BR thread - Kenny earned his legend status with the club. Of Kenny isn't being credited with signing Suarez then Kenny also is resolved of any blame for the Carroll signing. Some people believe Kenny deserved more respect for what he achieved at the club despite a poor league campaign - they are entitled to believe that.

BR can be compared to Kenny when BR achieves significant results as manager of the club - not just winning three games but actually winning trophies and having success. No one wants anyone to fail - it is a ludicrous suggestion and is all about petty points scoring.

Regardless of how people's glasses are - half full or half empty or negative or positive we all support the same team and when that first whistle blows every single one of us wants the team to win - not one single person I can guarantee on here has ever wanted any one player or manager or the team to fail to prove anything.

This is a forum not Anfield - when the game kicks off the manager and the team get the full support of every single Liverpool fan - suggesting supporters want the team to fail is disrespectful.

Yet the page before you mention another former LFC manager? and mentioned Kenneth in the league cup thread?

I agree with most tho, Brendan has had a great start to this season and in general he's done a very good job in steadying the ship and keeping the eye of the media on the football pitch rather than other matters. How long has he got left on his current deal? If it's not long then the way things stand I'd definitely extend his tenure at Liverpool - and that's got nothing to do with going 'do lally' over winning his first 4 games this season, rather his tenure in general. I like the bloke and can certainly see him taking us further

Think it was a three year deal he signed so has another two to go - at the end of this season will be a very good pointer. Getting us into Europe and into 5th I believe he should be given a new extension
