Brendan Rodgers (Liverpool -> Celtic -> Leicester)

Probably the most purely entertaining Liverpool side to turn out Anfield, even eclipsing the Suarez show in my opinion, we just went on wave after wave of attacks under Evans, we played some truly breath taking football at times mixed in with some absolutely calamities.

Nah, the Kings league winning teams of late 80's early 90s, the last title winning team. Beardsley, barnes, rush, aldo etc. Fantastic. Thats my fave squad\team.

But yes Evans team and the suarez season were very very very good to watch.

Kennys team's were great mate, but they were organised well drilled teams, they were F***ing machines,, I'm talking purely entertainment here the sort of football you watch and you dare not fart in case you sh*t yourself.

tbf. The suarez season was like that. Ive not enjoyed watching LFC so much since the rafa european nights. and b4 that the houier european adventure, and then aye the evans teams and the King Kenny Red machine, b4 that I was very young but I do just about remember the great 70's teams

Calling it the suarez team, cos he was the catalist, but it was BR's tactics and studger, young raheem & gerrard and dare I say it crap defending that made it all exciting.

Bit like Evans team then with Macca being direct as F**k, Fowler being the most natural finisher in the league (at that time), Mcateer always willing to take his man on etc..

Benteke has a mental coach...
I dunno, I see this kinda thing now, and don't even pass much remarks.
20 years ago, that would mean BR was a nutcase.
Now we've moved on from telling yourself your great to the mirror, to hiring someone to do it instead.
God knows what BR makes of it... or if he knew before signing him that Benteke suffered from a bit of a lack of confidence...
Imo Christian and Firmino have BR stamps of approval (along with Ings and Origi) and it's, in the main, their form that will determine his future.  They click and start banging them in, it'll be quite as a graveyard in here. Otherwise, it'll be carnage.

Could really do with them hitting the target at the old toilet. Maybe being up against it as underdogs will actually suit us... am thinking it might... we go there with expectation relatively low ... and blitz the fuckers. Live in hope...

How many 'blips' can one squad have? Christ almighty

What really frustrated me with McManaman was his finishing. And later on, the fact that he was rather a c**t and a lazy one. Fowler could finish in ways I don't think anyone in world football can do even today. But I also see him as a bit of a tit. I wish he could have looked after himself better. To think he emerged as the "Toxteth whippet", a rocket of a player with fantastic mobility AND speed. But while his finishing got more and more incredible, you could see his pace and physical ability wane from a very early age. So sad.

That whole team was really badly managed. Firstly by not having a rocket up its arse. And secondly because ALL of them had to retire early thro injury.

Well managed, it could have been our golden home grown era. The greatest part is that we could have topped it up with a couple of foreign megastars, because virtually the whole team was homegrown or bought cheap.

I look at Martin Kelly and Flano and wonder whether any lessons have been learnt.

Sorry boys , but the suarez team , was not a team . It was an  unbalanced , top heavy mistake that was destined to fail.

The 78-79 team was a perfect combination of style and grit. The early 80 's teams where superb examples of efficiency.Truly feared in europe.

Kennys team of 87-88 was total attacking football with an outstanding defence. Rodgers team ( which wasn't even his team ) of 13-14 was nowhere near , what people make out as some of the best football they had seen . If it was the best football they had seen . Then they need to start watching DVD'S of 70's & 80's teams.

It's a TEAM  game, not just your 3 forward players. Thats why we won nothing.

I think all of our better teams have had weak spots.

The Suarez Sturr Sterling  team had weak spots of.... everyone else. And remember it won nothing and only existed for NINE months.

Rafa's team had the most top quality players, but lacked a Suarez. If it had him, a winger and slightly better defenders I think we'd have had one of the greatests teams ever (for any club). Its destruction beginning under G&H and continued under Shiteway was an absolute disgrace.

The Dalglish Rush Souness team lacked a top partner for Souness, the fullbacks were good and not brilliant. And we lacked a winger.

The Beardsley Barnes team? Again it had few top players other than Rushie when he came back. McMahon was pivotal, but it wasnt a great midfield.

The 1977 Euro Cup team was the ONLY one that utterly devastated a team in the Euro Cup final. And ofcourse it broke up after the match.

slightly better defenders

We had Hyypia, Carra, Agger and Skrtel for CB's, Arby and a slightly weak left side but we were still solid and that's why we conceded the least amount of goals. The biggest problem was a lack of wingers, we had Riera come in and was like a breath of fresh air at first because we weren't playing so narrow but we all know how he ended up!

And a defence that concedes over 50 goals and a goalkeeper that's sh*te.

Yeah we know!!

2. Manchester City - €560m

3. Manchester  United - €533m

7. Liverpool - €344m

Only a gap of 200 million there.

Would love Rodgers when the player at are all finally fit,defensively drilled and available to go with a 4-4-2:

Mig
Clyne
Skrtel
Sakho
Moreno
Milner
Henderson
Coutinho
Firmino
Benteke
Sturidge

That sounds horrible. You're not playing to the teams strengths at all

We had Hyypia, Carra, Agger and Skrtel for CB's, Arby and a slightly weak left side but we were still solid and that's why we conceded the least amount of goals. The biggest problem was a lack of wingers, we had Riera come in and was like a breath of fresh air at first because we weren't playing so narrow but we all know how he ended up!

Rafa said how he wanted a winger and what he termed a "disequilibriante" (a 10 or 9.5 like Luis).

He said the problem was how few top, top wingers there were at the time. He could play Stevie on the right, struggled with Kewell early on, than later there was Maxi (who was very underrated IMO). But G&H had fu**ed the club up by then.

He also said that budgets later on meant we could afford a physical player eg Kuyt/Masch or a really skilful player eg Yossi or Luis Garcia. But not a player who had both attributes (like Suarez did).

If we'd have signed a Suarez to have Torres, Suarez, Gerrard, Masch, Alonso and one other, that would have been an incredible team.

Ur. Ok
Love to see your formation and team selection then.

‘Liverpool replaced coaches Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh in the summer, so they were looking for a new No 2, or No 3 or No 4. I would have been tailor-made to fill one of these roles, as well as making myself available as a squad player.' continued Gerrard.

‘I could have been a good squad player, a good sub, as well as getting management experience that money can’t buy.’ finished Liverpool legend.

Quoted from Gerrard.

Well played Brendan and LFC, would have been the absolute perfect move without a single question. Honestly, losing Carragher and Gerrard without taking them on as coaches just makes no sense whatsoever, experience like they have should never be discarded so easily.

Would have been perfect mate but for the obvious threat to Brendan's position.

Couldn't agree more mate and the more people wake up to this clear problem the better because it is seriously damaging the club in my opinion. We've had 2 of the greatest players in our history just simply leave our club without so much as a thank you, it's not how we do things and it should have caused more of an issue than it has. It seems it's been lost in the rest of the mess for now.

But didn't he also.say he decided it was time to move on after the Madrid game?

I got the impression back then that he wasn't happy to just be a squad player!
I can definitely see him as Liverpool manager someday, probably won't be under the current owners though.

Said this in the gerrard thread, he said something totally different when he left, go and watch his interview. He said he did not deserve to walk into a coaching job at LFC, he wanted to earn it, and did not want to be a sub.

Now he is saying the complete opposite. ffs. Stevie G make your mind up lad.

This is exactly how I seen Gerrard if he stayed with us mate but didn't he also say that he wanted to play regularly?

Be interesting to know the real truth behind this.
