      I think PR should stop whitening his teeth and talking like a self-help guru and maybe develop a style or he will be
      shown the door.

      After last night I think Rodgers is at the tipping point to getting sacked or not. Lose against the scum and he tips out, win and he survives. A draw and the tipping point extends to the next game.

      Liverpool v FC Basel      DREW AND OUT!!!
      Man Utd v Liverpool   
      Bournemouth v Liverpool     
      Liverpool v Arsenal   
      Burnley v Liverpool   
      Liverpool v Swansea     


      We'll beat Basel. That's the game I'm most confident about.

      Disappointed to admit I'd take a draw at OT even though they are as sh*t as us. This game is critical. If they get a result against Southampton and then beat us too, we won't catch them. We cannot lose. I think we'll get a draw.

      Depends what team he plays against Bournemouth. They are flying in the championship and will be well up for it. If he doesn't play a strong team they will knock us out. It's our most realistic opportunity to win a trophy this season too. I think BR will play a strong side and I think we'll go through. Probably on pens.

      We'll beat Arsenal.

      Draw at Burnley in a frustrating game.

      We'll beat Swansea.


      If we dont get the rub of the green in the next 3 games - BR wont be there for Burnley or Swansea

      ANOTHER F***ing sack the manager thread.
      This is getting F***ing monotonous.
      Is there a gizmo that can funnel all the managerial comments into one thread, save wading through this endless bullshit.

      Actually, I have nothing against Brendan, if it is up to me, he will have until the 2014/15 season  or more to steer us around.

      When we change, we have to start from square one again,  :(

      And I have been waiting tooo blooody looong for us to win our very first EPL title.  :roll:

      BUT, I don't think the owner have the patient! This is a result related business.

      Totally agree....Kenny won a cup and they sacked him...

      Next 3 games could define his career

      Absolutely. The effort we put in against Basel in the latter part of the 2nd half was decent. The players do have an extra gear somewhere. I want to see them give it 100% from the very first minute to the very last.

      I also want to see Rodgers select his best team for once (whatever that is).

      he says he always puts out a side to win the game ???
      So I would love to know what possessed him to pick to DM along with No legs and Hendo when he had Lallana and Couthino on the bench.

      I personally think we should try going 3 5 2 now as the one upfront isn't working and I don't think our full backs are that good to give us the width we need to play a 4 4 2 diamond but we deffo need to play 2 upfront.

                                             Migs
                  Skrtle                 Lovren            Sakho

             Sterling           Lucas         Hendo        Moreno

                                        Gerrard

                             Markovic          Ballotelli

                             Markovic          Ballotelli
             

      And lose the effectiveness of Sterling by having him run himself into the ground every week playing as a wing back, no thanks. That formation was asking for trouble last season and we only got away with that because of Suarez, this year it would be even worse with Lovren in there too. Might have considered this as an option, or at least felt more confortable about it had we kept Agger.

      Sterling is going to end up like Owen.
      Knackered and injured.

      He is being played too much too young because we haven't got anyone else left with any pace.

      Agree. He does seem quite robust though, but then again we don't know what injuries he may be carrying - many footballers play whilst carrying an ongoing problem or two.

      BR struggled against Basel, Leicester and Sunderland, I simply has lost all confidence that he'll change things round fast enough to get past Bournemouth and United. He's a very very stubborn man when almost every posters here said the tactics, formation and players ain't working only he himself and his world class coaches thought otherwise and keeps doing it week in week out. BR  always like safety first, look at the number of players that were bought, they hardly play perhaps he thought that they're not ready, too risky but how much more time he needs to unleash them? 

      Besides that, opposition could read his mind and tactics like a book, god almighty please wake him up from his slumber.

      Perhaps the owners have made a grave mistake appointing a manager who's not ready to take a top flight club forward and the evidence so far suggests so.

                             Markovic          Ballotelli

      Always thought Markovic was an attacking mid field player. No doubt he could do a job up top, but have to agree with this line up/tactic. Have to go 2 up top whatever. As for full backs, Johnson has become a liability so nothing is better than him.
      Can't see it happening though, Be one up top as Brendan knows best. He's the boss.... at the moment !
