I would only want to see him gone at the end of the season IF he carries on playing the sh*t football we have been playing all season with no improvements.
I just don't understand how we went from playing how we did last season to this shitty Allardyce crap football. If Rodgers changes mid way through the season and reverts back to what made us so successful and keeping to his philosophy, I'd be more than happy to see him stick around... with a new scouting team of course
Just 2 things mate.
1. We're not even playing Allardyce level football here. The "football" he's had his teams play was at the very least distinguishable and they had a plan. They set out to play that way, we don't have a plan. He picks Mignolet, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen and Sterling and then randomly fills in the remaining positions. Just like Mourinho had his untouchables Brendan has his. The only way we're changing "mid way through the season and reverting back to what made us so successful" is if Suarez picks up the phone and says that life in Spain isn't all its made out to be and he wants to come back oh and Sturridge suddenly gains Ronaldo's physical strength. Otherwise we're just going to get more of the same this season.
2. The problems we have aren't the fault of the scouts. All of the players we signed with the exception of Balotelli and Manquillo (who didn't play much last season) were in good form.
- Lambert: I think scored 15 goals and had 10 assists last season.
- Lallana: Played some cracking stuff and was in most pundits' team of the season.
- Lovren: Had a very good season and most people in his transfer thread (including me) were chuffed with us signing him.
- Moreno: Became a Spanish international and was heavily linked with Real Madrid. In fact possibly the only reason he isn't at the Bernabeu right now is because Madrid can't seem to move Coentrão.
-Markovic: Was one of the hottest if not THE hottest prospect in the Portuguese league last season and he gave the Juventus defenders a torrid time in the Europa League semifinal. He was also heavily linked with Chelsea before he went to Benfica and some (mostly sh*te) sources were linking him with Chelsea again this past summer.
- Can: Was earning rave reviews in Germany with Leverkusen last season if you're being compared to Michael Ballack then you must be doing something right and apparently Bayern were making it difficult for us to sign him this summer because they were always under the impression that they'd leave him at Leverkusen for a season or two and bring him back.
You can't tell me the scouts fu**ed up when these people were all in good form and many people were happy about them being signed on this very forum. The funny thing is they perform well on International duty and they're seemingly only sh*te when they play for us. So if they were good before they came here and they're good when they're away from here then surely the problem must be whatever's going on during training sessions and preparation for matches here. Some of those players were apparently good enough for the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid and Chelsea to take long hard looks at (and in Moreno's case approach) but they're not good enough for us?
The problems we have will remain for as long as Brendan is here. Our defence has shipped 111 league goals in 88 league games (1.26 goals per game)despite him spending over £66M on defenders and a goalkeeper in hIs time here. We've been sh*te defensively, disjointed and unbalanced for Brendan's entire tenure. In the past he always had either one of Suarez or Sturridge or the both of them to mask his tactical deficiencies and bag a few goals. But even then we were shipping 3 goals a game on the regular against teams like West Brom, Villa, Southampton (when they were still sh*te) Cardiff, Hull, Swansea and Palace. Now that Brendan doesn't have Suarez and Sturridge he's been well and truly exposed as a manager. And he doesn't even have help from the coaches because he's surrounded himself with no-marks like Pascoe and Marsh who are less experienced and who've somehow achieved less in their coaching careers then a manager with a trophy haul of exactly 0 medals. They've achieved less than nothing and they offer that much insight.
He doesn't have a plan B except for "give the ball to Suarez or Sturridge" or pass it around aimlessly around the half-way line for the entire match, he can't motivate the team the players aren't playing for him anymore they're genuinely not arsed if Brendan gets sacked later today or after Ludo or in January. The only reason I wouldn't want him sacked immediately is because we wouldn't be able to find anyone decent in late November.
