2011-12 was a bitter sweet season, and so were the discussions on this forum. However, with all the differences of opinions here, it's safe to say the vast majority still wanted King Kenny to stay at the club for another year.
But he didn't. And then people started to get really angry with the owners and the choices they made.
Brendan Rodgers is one of their choices.
He's had a difficult start to his career with only 12 points from 11 games.
Last season, a lot of people seemingly didn't care about 8th being our worst league finish in decades, and they never took seriously the stats that said that at some point we had our worst run of form since the 50's. So isn't it funny to see the same people getting all worked up on how this season's is our worst start to a league campaign since... since... (I don't remember)?
Yes, it is!
After all, how is that even fair to judge a manager after only 12 games? If it supposedly wasn't fair to judge the previous manager on 1 year and a half, then please let's just have a little more coherence with the new one.
What does it matter our number of points in November, really? Absolutely nothing. It's the final position that matters and we're still very far from it. Last season we had an even worst league run over 12 games. And in the end, it just didn't matter one little bit when it happened - in the start, in the middle or in the end of the season. Don't you remember... this?

What's that? 8 points from 11 games (6 of whom were at home), if my math is right.
That is not to mention the difference in the amount of money each manager had to spend, and the fact that this season, we had
the most difficult schedule of the whole league in the first games of the season. All of that with a new manager trying to change things at the club.
Don't get me wrong - I think Kenny deserved more time and I agree there are reasons to be angry with the owners. But if you think 1 year and half isn't time enough to judge a manager that spent quite a lot of money, then don't get all stupid after 12 F***ing games with the new one who's seen more players going than coming.
And most of all I hope you don't come back here in the future to lecture people about your understanding of "the Liverpool way".
