      He's in a fight now for his job so if I was him I'd drop the regular underachievers and play all the youngsters. Roll the dice, because he's fu**ed if he keeps playing the same flops.

      I don't think he deserves anything but the boot. However with this shower in charge I am not sure who if anyone could do much better.

      Problem is we would have to find someone who would work within FSG's structure and with the players we have. I am not sure superman would make much difference at the moment mate.

      I think the best option is give Brendan the season and if things are no better by the summer bring in someone then. At least we might be able to offer them a decent transfer budget then.

      We had to adapt to life without the genius of Suarez, prior to his much anticipated exit for whatever reason BR was not afforded the opportunity to acquire something approaching similar genius.
      Consequently Suarez' poaching partner had to shoulder the responsibility of carrying the team as a one man striker and replicate genius.

       Sturridge did a very passable impression and was tucking a few away until his injury jinx bolloxed everything.

      Following the genius leaving the manager was presented with the Suarez monies to beef up the defence, midfield and attacking areas of play, no doubt a dispensation for him getting us in the CL and narrowly missing our first Prem title.
      Six moderate/bargain buys were introduced at the outset of the season.

      Nothing approaching the magic of Suarez was available in the moderate/bargain buy transfer area much less a stand by for the semi-genius of Studge.
      Barring breaking into his own wedge or doing a Liverpool-in-need campaign how the F**k does BR present an instant title winning formulae with the monies from the sale of the only world class player we had on our books??

      Do not believe the witch hint here by some very knowledgeable supporters.

      The transfer budget, small, medium or massive will count for F**k all if the manager (whoever that ends up being) is only allowed to buy from a restricted list. The final amount isn't really the issue.

      £80m spent on ten players at £25k per week might not be as effective as £80m spent on two at £125k per week. It's still a decent £80m but...  :-\

      People would do well to remember the tribulation and trials this club has had to endure, knee jerk reaction is not what made this club great.
      For Christ's sake look at the affecting factors which force the manager into making the decisions he does, he is having to play potential and budget buys, we finished 2nd last season and the principle influence that produced that result is gone, why wasn't he allowed to buy like for like?
      Why is there no ready stand in for Studge?

      Brendan Rodgers Post Match Interview - Crystal Pa…: http://youtu.be/qRorF4_snec

      Most dejected I've seen him and rightly so.

      Think he assessed the game correctly but "we didn't manage the game when a player went off". It's his responsibility to get that message across as much as anyone. We didn't even manage the strapping up of the player's head correctly in the first place.

      "Their only threat was the counter-attack" well it's their identity and how they choose to play. We could have conceded on numerous occasions before they actually scored. You could see it coming, so in terms of management that's on his shoulders, he could have told one of the players not to join the attack, to double up on Bolasie.

      He bemoans the goal we conceded for the second, well everyone and his brother has been saying to drop Johnson/Lovren and Gerrard the 3 players involved in that pathetic moment of the game. Fair enough with the 3rd, don't think it was a foul either on reflection.

      Learn your mistakes Brendan and if they can't manage the game, do it yourself. Shout the instructions from the sidelines instead of standing there looking a bit clueless.

      He looked dejected in the dugout. Not shouting or anything.  Just watching as Gerrard was exposed time after time but still he kept him there for the 90. There has to be something more to the Gerrard situation.

      It is amazing how many games he starts and finishes yet we rest our impressive new left back who is 12 years his junior and replace him with our hapless right back.

      Strange things happening. Does he want the sack?

      Don't know mate, but he had the look of a defeated person near the end there like you say. Just stood leaning on the dugout wasn't a pretty sight and that's when I thought he might just get the push.

      There's bound to be pressure on but at the moment we have no identity, we don't tackle, we don't press, we're soft centred, unorganised and weak mentally. That's ignoring the attack.

      Not normally one for looking at changing managers, and this one is only 2 and a half years in, but the fact were making the same errors over and over and trying the same things over and over with the same failed end result has me worried for him.

      Gerrard has been offered the managers job when he retires from playing and so Brendan has to keep playing him or call him Boss.

      Whatever is going on behind the scenes it is not getting the results that all REDS crave for, a winning and successful Liverpool Football Club.So sad.
