I don't like to see us lose full stop. Granted, there was nothing to play for but still being humiliated like that shouldn't be dismissed as immaterial. After all, the least amount of importance you could give that game is that it was Gerrard's final game, and seeing a legend being waved off like that is totally disheartening.
They're just so entrenched in their views that Rodgers had to go (which was right he did), but simultaneously proclaimed (this is where they're wrong though and they constantly shift the goal posts - hence people now see how hypocritical they are), Klopp would immediately get this team/squad playing to a level much better than Rodgers did, which as we can now see is totally wide of the mark.
Posters like the bloke you're talking to and a few of the other protected species on here cannot handle that our team performances and results have been just AS bad, if not worse than what we saw under Rodgers. They're frustrated that they cannot come wading in here with their size 9's saying 'I told you so', in regards to Klopp having an immediate upturn in performances and results.
Nobody said we liked to lose, but nobody here really cared about that Stoke game until about halfway through the first half, Gerrard's last game or not. If the scoreline was in a game with something at stake, I would have no issue with anyone laying into Rodgers. Instead the game was a total irrelevance, best forgotten.
They also bang on about the Cup semi. The performance was awful and the occasion got to Rodgers. However we were robbed in the closing minutes, when Balotelli actually found a net, and it should have stood. Everyone conveniently forgets that instead. The same referee is doing the League Cup Final.
Federer waded in here with his size 9's during games during the honeymoon period. Others compared Klopp's record against two high profile opponents to Rodgers record. They don't quite apply the same criteria to the records against Newcastle, West Brom, or West Ham.
I've already dealt with this issue once before, but Rodgers is from the UK. We have had coaches from the UK and across Europe throughout our history. It has no bearing on anything I say about them.
Do I understand moneyball?
Well to be honest I'm not willing to get into it
So you don't understand moneyball then.
