The mind really boggles. It's as if you're quite happy to lose against Bolton, West Brom, Swansea, Wigan but f**k me if we beat the likes of Everton and Arsenal then all is fine and dandy even if we record our worst Premier League season in history. As much as I love him, to try and draw more favourable comparisons to Kenny as a manager than Rodgers is shallow and rose tinted at best.
I think you, me and everyone else knows that in spite of the perennial state of denial some fans live in, we are a lot better off with Brendan Rodgers as our manager than with Kenny at the club.
Not quite happy FMS, it's just an easier fix to beat a Bolton, West Brom, Swansea or Wigan. Beating United, Everton, Spurs (less so), City and Arsenal gives me more pleasure though that's for sure. As for the progress that keeps getting mentioned, what progress?! 4 points this year on last, out of the only cup and again floundering when meeting decent teams.
So the mind boggles about this "progress". The team that started against Everton:
Mig
Johnson Skrtel Agger Flanagan
Gerrard Lucas
Henderson Allen Coutinho
Suarez
Mig and Allen being Brendan's only contribution to that, excuse me if I don't find that a bit of mind boggler. Criticise Kenny's purchases all you want but at least he stuck by them and showed them the confidence new players need. At this moment in time Brendans has
Bought Allen, dropped him, re-picked and no doubt drop him again.
Bought Alberto, never plays him
Bought Assaidi, never played him
Bought Ilori, never plays him
Loaned Sahin, played him and dropped him
Loaned Moses, played him and dropped him
Loaned Cissokho, played him and dropped him
Bought Sakho, played him and dropped him
Bought Aspas, played him and dropped him (injury maybe but he was getting dropped too)
Bought Borini, bought him and loaned him out
So much progress!
