"Yeah tats d way to move forward !! Work hard n get 3 points against Fulham..There will be some day when we will fail like saturday but tat shouldn stop us..against fulham we will come wid flying colours !!! YNWA"
"Tell your players to be very careful; especially when passing from the back not to have that sense of false dominance and complacency that caused the third goal in our last game."
"The good teams respond? The good teams don't think they're superstars if they win two matches in a row once a year and lose the next one. Just shut up. All of you. Play football, win matches and talk afterwards. And why is there always this ridiculous picture of BR when we lose? It makes him look...let's say not smart."
"IF YOUR GOING TO BLAME THE SCARF IM GOING TO BLAME STANDARD CHARTERED.. COME BACK CARLSBERG AND ADIDAS PLEASE.. AND THE DARK GREY/BLACK JERSEY WITH THE GOLD NUMBERS .. THE PLAYERS PLAYED CRAZY IN THOSE.. NOT SO FLASH IN THE YELLOW..EWW"
"Most of the games I have seen this season I have watched very nervously and I'm expecting the game against Fulham to be another nervous encounter. I know we have enough talented players in our squad to be winning most games but for whatever reason its not happening and its knocking the confidence out of us fans. Well me anyway."
"Depends who we buy in Janurary. We won't progress until we have players with natural ability to ACTUALY play football For the past 2 seasons I have watched it deteriorate. I know it's not a quick fix but the players we are linked with in Janurary I have no hope for the future. Especially with Sterling not signing his contact because he thinks he is worth £90k per week Where was he versus Villa"
"BR you are talking bull shi.., i probably as liverpool fan know how is gerrard form and he is below par this season, so either u are blind or never seen gerrard playing before this season"
"Plenty enough talent in the squad, massive Worldwide support and so much history of success behind the club. Brendan has to wise up yesterday and stop making the same mistakes week after week.
Ditch the philosphy & get real, be a man, see what's wrong & do something about it. "
"so after this game our great manager learned that we cant be complaisant in this league. my question to him when did u start managing if u just learned this yesterday and do we need such manager who is still learning the basics, better to shut up mate the more u talk the sillier u look"
"Rodgers, yes praise is requires when it is deserved. You need to start criticizing too. Steven Gerrard is my favorite player. But he has NOT been magnificent this season. If you cannot criticize, please don't needlessly praise them. Btw, we cannot afford to be a good team. Any team in the premier league is a good team - that's why they are there. We need to be a great team. "
"Good teams can win 3 league matches in a row in a season, we can't!!! West ham win means absolutely nothing if you lose your next easy home game, We had a chance and we've blew it, we're 12th in the league for god sake! And we're half way threw the season, we said the other day a few good results can get us right up there, yeah well a few bad ones and we can be 15th by new year! YNWA"
":/ il reserve judgement till after br has been able to make transfers in jan n summer but so far he hardly uses assaidi when he can take teams apart :/ i doubt hell make it to the summer"
"BR, dun be deceiving. You can only show that we are a team too good o be relegated or if not, you can show that we can win the league tie after relegated into championship? The best days recently was with Rafa and never can you ever come close. PEACE OUT...."
"you can only play the players you have. four are not good enough to play in a top 4 team, 2 are learning, 2 are what they are. a player comeing in must be a top 4 team quality, the fans will judge you on your signings Brendon. I noticed Scott Parker came off the bench for Spurs, a class midfield ball winner going forward with another 2 years in his locker, thats the standard we are looking for."
"Stevie has been a brilliant captain. he is my favourite. But even he needs a break. please stop making him a defender.Play him upfront, in attacking positions which suits him. Get Wisdom and Assaidi back in the team. "
"Please do not repeat last season mistake by playing off form players and plying players out of position and not buying a striker to get the winning goals to climb the league position. You still can save this season Brendan. Must let go of your ego and learn from mistake."
"Last year we had plenty of shots for a poor return. We sacked our manager as a result. You would have thought the replacement manager would have made goals a priority, but no, the molby syndrome, my toy, my way, he ditched 4 goal scorers and replaced them with zip."
"Brendan drill the players hard will you do no let them take it easy and lose a match easily. Sick and tired of seeing the same players making the same mistake. Call themselves Liverpool players. What a shame.'"
"it's right, we have to react, but for me BR it would be even right change something to the way of play. I realized that despite we abandoned tiki-taka play we are too much attacking minded, probably a bit unbalanced, our defence is often uncovered, our full backs too up high, we need absolutely to remedy to that inconvenience! I still trust BR! YNWA"
"Rodgers is the man. He won't win everything with a click of the fingers these critics are starting to come at it again. Maybe if you supported the team for a will it maybe would help."
"Lest I'm misunderstood, Steven Gerrard is my favorite player, and all my jerseys since F9T left have been No. 8. However, this apparent romance between Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard is all hogwash, isn't it? Can't he see that SG needs some rest?"
"Significant steps forward? From last season? Sorry thats rubbish in my view. After 19 games last season we have let in 15 goals. After 17 games this season we have let in 23. Thats a step backwards in my view. Hopefully we can finish year on a high and get quality players in during Jan. Getting fed up with BR statements now. Time for less talk and more action"
"A shameful home display against AVFC. I did not like that usual BS talk of a Top 4 finish after that away win against WHFC. I want doers not talkers. We must show our worth on the pitch. My fellow Reds who attended last weekend's match deserve a refund. I remain , Forever Red!"
"We must beat Fulham. Time for the young lads to be played up-front. Lets see some of the second string / reserves in on Saturday. We need a proven striker or at least someone who will drill in the shots!"
"Our midfield is very weak.Perhaps the easiet to overrun in the league.Lucas is yet to hit top form.Allen is too lightweight&doesn't win balls.His passes are also going astray of late¬ really incisive.Gerrard is not very strong&dominant as before.Hence Diaby,Diame,Bale,Benteke have run through our midfield this season as if no one was there.A midfield enforcer is needed apart from strikers."
"One minute he is saying we should be targeting top 2, because we are that good of a side. How he come up with that conclusion after beating two teams that were newly promoted, I will never know. Now he just wants us to show we are a good side. Make up your mind, maybe you should start keeping your mouth shut."
"Fans criticizing Gerrard, hold onto your horses. Yes he has not been the Gerrard of old, but he still has not been as bad as Allen, Shelvey and Sahin in the middle. Us fans are used to such a high standard from Gerrard that when he drops his level, he is poor. If us fans had never seen those levels, and he had just come in, we would all think he was doing a decent job."
"Total belief that u the one to bring us forward! But our No. 1 as always is so vulnerable!!! When he fumbled, I noticed our back four will lose their confident and concentration! We eagerly need someone that is reliable and compose to replace our No. 1.... till then happen forget about our 19 league les!!!!!"
"Any man who builds anything be it a house or a team likes to think he has done a good job. Im sure BR thinks he is doing a good job but some of us can see the cracks. Look at the men he paid money for in the summer , what exactly have they done? Borini, juries out, Allen doesnt really have an impact the rest , not much game time. Norwich ,West Brom, Everton all above us. Are we REALLY that good?"

"Brendan, they gave you 30 mil and you're not using the players. Now, you're asking for another 30 mil! You blame old managers for overpaying mediocre players! Didn't you do the same! Balancing books doesn't mean you get rid of your better strikers and leaving the bad ones (Cole). These are the type of Questions you must answer. Cont..."

"Brendan, the owners gave both you and Kenny and both of you wasted the money. Having a small squad means you have to use the players you bought the likes of Sahin and Ossama and not overuse the same players (that's called logic). "
"Brendan, this January window is the most crucial in your career. You must think and buy big. Anfield and the supporters need a lift and the way to do it is to buy the likes of Falcao, Cavani, Llorente. Bring An attacking mid and a great winger. Also, a left back is needed. Otherwise, you don't belong to a great club like LFC. "
"Adolfo, Phil Thompson, Roy Evans as caretaker manager ? can't stand by and watch us reach relegation battle !!!
Why is Suso, Sahin, Assaidi on the bench ??????? Flanagan and Robinson could stabilize the back, Pacheco could use a run etc etc etc"
"br you are right we are a good team but that's not good enough we want to be a great team again so we need a great manager and that's not you sorry br but you are out of your depth."
"same old, same old... hardly any comments of encouragement when we win, yet the comments box explodes when we lose, go support united if you want instant success and give rodgers a break, anyone who knows anything about football knows that stability is need at our club. He inhered a broken team, and was given a 3 year deal to fix it not 6 months."
"In all the years ive been coming to Anfield i dont think i have seen as many people leaving the ground with 15 mins to go, that is a sure sign of serious problems with the club as a whole. FSG, get your arses over here and take a proper look at whats going on!"
"i didn't see hodgeson and dalgleish breaking their neck and risk their reputation to bring through talent like wisdom, suso, shelvey, sterling into the 1st team in their first few months of tenure, a few astute buys in key positions with the young talent we have already and im confident we can move forward."
"Brendan stop talking about where we r going to finish n lets get on with finishing as high as possible . This season is wip n we will see where we r at the end n judge yourself n the team then.
Just get on with it n stop the excuses ie; no pens hitting post , bar n being unlucky n poor decisions.
MAKE IT HAPPEN A A TEAM !!
YNWA JFT96"
"Charm and positivity can only last for so long. I and from what I read one here, a lot of other fans are getting a bit sick and tired of these excuses and dressing over dross... Not saying sack him just yet as he needs time to change things around, but maybe if he does lose his job he can start to look at a political career? He seems to be very good at putting a spin on things. "
"Brendan, I believe you can do this - the results are almost meaningless at this stage there's so much experience and you've shown we are capable of dominating anyone, regardless of the result. Tighten up at the back, something's missing."
"And you get us a decent striker with the help of Fenway! That's all we're missing. Luis is a playmaker who can score/does score - all we need is a very proven poacher and someone reliable to play daring dicing passes. Done."
"Free stevie up then,it's not rocket science Brendan.I think EVERY supporter of every team knows how dangerous he is,when played in a free role. The Opposition must be so pleased when they see him playing in a deep role."
"Ani-Rd - I feel for you mate, we all feel it when the team isn't doing well. But put it into perspective, we were on an unbeaten streak regardless of wins so we need tightening up at the back and a striker, that's it! Keep the faith, Bon Jovi said so and he can't be wrong."
"YES we will bounce back. the players and owners should keep in mind that Liverpool has the best supporters and they deserve much much better. Anfield has always been a good atmosphere for the players. unfortunately the results have not been pleasant lately. its a collective effort and i hope from next weekend onwards we shall get stronger. YNWA."
"NO MORE TALK.....DO WHAT SHANKLY WOULD HAVE DONE AND GET THE PLAYERS TO DO THEIR TALKING ON THE PITCH...IF WE DONT WIN THE NEXT GAME WE ARE NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM RELEGATION, A WIN CAN CHANGE THE WHOLE OUTLOOK!!! YNWA
"
"I agree BR needs to cut the interviews. We can't go from "we can challenge 4th, or may be even 2nd" to "oh we still have a long way to go" from game to game."
"It just isn't working is it?
Disciplined counter attacking football destroys Tiki Taka, Mourinho with Inter destroyed Barcelona, already Swansea with Laudrop wiped the floor with us and then Aston Villa did the same last Saturday. Bayern Munich also do well against Tiki Taka tripe. Then Chelski do the same."
"I'd love us to get proven prolific top players in January but we are being brainwashed into accepting second class under performing garbage and are meant to just be grateful, we are Liverpool F.C. and this dross that is happening is not acceptable, these owners don't have the heart for this club, they are killing us slowly and painfully, we need top quality or we are done for."
"Please get us Mourinho or Rafa but they need full financial backing from the owners and I fear these owners are being exposed as tight cheapskates who hope for success without being willing to pay what it takes. FSG don't seem to care enough, at least the little Russian at the Bridge shows enthusiasm for his team and puts his money where his mouth is."
"This January will be very, very significant, it will expose the real intentions of the owners, listen, we don't want any more of this long term tripe, all great clubs function on a weekly, season by season basis with a longer term plan operating in the background, isn't that why we got an Academy for Pete's sake? Are us fans being conned? Must they insult our intelligence?"
"A thought- If Reading finished 10th this season- would Brian McDermott ever get considered for the LFC managers job? If not why not? Then ask yourself how BR got this job? I'm struggling......"
"BR still deserves to be giving the chance, but i think pepe reina needs to be changed or giving some rest im sure we have other goalkeepers that could do better"
"i dont think that the owners are that stupid to give this clown money in january, and mates nobody said that gerrard is poor but BR must at least know that he is not in top form, and plz dont let me start about allen and pannini both are useless which cost us 25 something "
"If we loose to fulham and it won't be a easy game they will be up for it having seen how a/villa performed then I think br will be between a rock and a hard place and maybe time to give him a rest "
"Suarez lost ball for 1st goal on Sat, he should have put SG thru as well. SG dived in to make it easy for Bannin to set up 2nd, LS & SG class but silly mistakes cost us, I won't mention Coe at the 3rd!!!!"
"Too many players believing there own hype as well, Far too much talking on Internet/papers build up to Villa game.BR needs to stop letting everyone know who the teachers pets are, not fair on others, can cause dressing room problems."
"our midfield is the worst its been for decades just cant defend cant pass in opposition half cant score goals its hopeless, and it aint going to change anytime soon midtable team for rest of season."
"Rushjob9, Good point mate btw I'm not only struggling as well but I've got a rotten feeling in my gut as this January window gets closer, I've a nagging bad feeling about it but sincerely hope I'm wrong. The Liverpool manager's job is a big big job and it needs a big, big person with a big personality and big talent and pedigree to fill it. I honestly feel it's not a post one 'grows into'."
"If we honestly believe we are a Big club we must have a Big manager, beginning to feel BR will definitely not be here for the long haul, I'm really convinced about it, would love to be proved wrong but I'm not naive and I feel there's a lot more than myself feel the same. That doesn't make us any less loyal to our beloved club than anyone else btw. "
"BR MUST Go, Go, Goooooo! His inexperience is there for all to see! LFC will never be anywhere near the top whilst BR is in Charge!
Bring back Rafa at the end of the season!"
"Rushjob9, Just downloaded 'He ain't heavy, He's my Brother' mp3 from Amazon 89p, if all the rest of us on these posts do same (or buy the Cd) maybe we'll get to No.1 for Crimbo, wish our team were still able to do that :)."
"Sorry 'ShinyZangoose55' but I don't believe in BR. He has LFC sitting in the bottom half of the table because he's a 'bottom half of the table' Manager. He has not had any real success or shown us he's capable of creating any. And as he is just BR, he will not be able to drag in the players to catapult us to where we really should be!"
"Under BR...
Won 5 of 17 EPL games;
Overworked Stevie G;
Bought in Borini (slightly useless and now injured);
Bought in Allen (nice pass but crumbles under pressure from anyone over 3 feet);
That's a start!"
"Listen mate, Give Stevie off Xmas and play Sahin with Lucas. Give Allen & Sterling a break & play Henderson & Suso. Also, remember, its not how you start, its how you finish :p YNWA!!!"
"The problem is we need the players to bounce back not only for the Fulham game but for the Stoke and QPR games as well especially Stoke. We don't want to win at Fulham and then draw or lose at Stoke and QPR."
"The reality is we cannot afford the 'Big, Star players' and the 'Big, Star players' want CL. Rodgers is still building his team with the funds available - he knew the situation but still accepted the job because of his desire for us to succeed, none of the so-called top managers would have been intereseted..."
"We are using a crop of youngsters which have done extremely well, but these lads would normally be coming through in the next couple of seasons - BR has had to have a look at them and his team at all levels are doing an amazing job with all of the youth teams - if you've noticed!..."
"They are our future and at the moment that looks really good - You build from the bottom up! Our major problem is the first team, at the top! which requires a lot of re-construction by BR and his team. He'll know who needs to go and who should come in, but it's a question of can we get rid of them players to raise more funds and then can we get our targets..."
"We need to thank FSG for bailing us out, not that they've ever demanded that, but we should! We got seriously shafted by JR & Bobby Ewing (H&G), lesson learnt! FSG are far more intelligent, honest, shrewd, sensible, diligent and prudent than their cowboy business rivals and that's what we needed to get the club back on it's feet - there is still a lot of work to do though..."
"We haven't been offered a magic lamp like City, we need to accept that we are trying to build a model like Man U, but a better one! We've slipped quite a bit behind our rivals so it's going to take a bit longer than we'd hoped, but they're all within easy reach - Don't give up on them!"
"You know what really makes my blood boil!!! All fans now have come to terms that we cannot buy the big stars. ok? But then in the past two years we have spent by money on players which are not worth half of what we paid for! Allen 15m!!! Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!! And we are suppose to believe in brenda!!!! give me a break"
