It's difficult to win Anfield. Not for Zenit but for Liverpool. We won't make mistakes after 6 months ? In championship ? All the first team players are used and we lost the match. Totally ridiculous. Win against swansea or go along with them at the end of the match.. NEXT YEAR WILL BE OUR YEAR. YNWA...
"Our 3 best players this season : Suarez, Gerrard, Jhonson. Now all the 3. Out of form. Wat's happening to my beloved club. Our rivals have made a statement at Bernabeu. But we are not even able to win matches even at Anfield. Hope God show some mercy on us. Fans please motivate the team against swansea. We don't want to be dull like west brom. YNWA"
"Special atmosphere at Anfield? the place is a library nowadays. Its full of people who go for the atmosphere but do nothing to create one. A few at the top of the kop is all that remains of the old wall of noise"
"Stevie & Suarez are not performing fully nowdays coz they became tired obviously. We have borini on the bench today. What's he doing ? We have suso, shelvey, coady who could have played in stevie's position today. We are total shambles today..."
"Totally gutted with performance tonight. Making same mistakes like we did in baggies match, where our passing was off again!
Why can't we convert our chances?
Only the team will know.
Come on lads, lets do an Olympiakos!
Totally behind Rodgers and what he's trying to do, and totally with the team.
YNWA"
"Why the hell would we sack Rodgers? No manager in the world, could turn our team last year into le winning contenders in one season. If we sack him, we'll have gotten no where, we'll just be back to square one AGAIN."
"I am really angry with the result today, but it is sure that I will always support LFC, and believe in players so I hope we can beat Zenit at home. The hope dies last... YNWA"
"M_Doyle a winning manager might want a challenge such as jose mourinho, who by the way is a winning manager just look at his trophies won, where as Rogers????"
"KidofKop88 your talking rubbish. Suarez and Gerrard have been outstanding this year. Couple of games when he doesnt score and he has lost form. Nobody said it was going to be easy as we are in transition. Too many people think we should be champions league place. Of course we all want it and yes its disappointing but we havent the squad yet so get behind the team and stop whinging"
"BTW we cant keep changing managers. we're not chelsea. we'll be so unstable and the players will play even worse if we keep changing manager. chelsea arent doing all that well with better players cause of that. if the new manager comes in and doesnt do well we sack him aswell? 4 managers in 3 yrs? come on. I give Rodgers 3 yrs with backing. If we dont move forward then he can go."

I give Rodgers 3 yrs with backing. If we dont move forward then he can go."
"IT will come good in Brendan i trust.I really trust him more than king kenny and Hodgson.Give him some time even RED NOSE FERGUSON took how many years 2 turn use over YNWA "
"Agger, Skrtel, Reyna, Carra, Johnson... they've all been together for years and this is the most error prone/lacking in organization they have ever looked. In 6 to 12 months BR should be gone, then his prediction that they will be playing better will be correct."
"couldn't agree more! I go and gone are the days of CL where it was a hot bed teams would crumble not I sing and get looked at like is this guy doing! Love LFC but things have changed for the worse. Terrible times YNWA "
"worlds top clubs Barca, R Madrid, Juve, Inter, AC, B Munich + hate to say M Utd all in top four of their leagues apart from AC who are fifth..... Liverpool 9th.. this cant go on "
"When will FSG accept that they appointed the wrong man? He is tactically inept and thinks his ideas work even when they don't! Firmly mid-table, definitely out of two cups, probably out of three and being turned over regularly. He is out of his depth and it shows, so why can't FSG see the obvious?"
"I am just gutted. Gutted that we sacked a king and brought in a mediocre. Our manager is best with a mid-table team. He is definitely not hard-wired for us. I'm afraid #LFC have started dancing 'the slow dance'. I don't think BR is a fighter! "
"Just read another part of BR's post match interview on another site where he is quoted as saying "it was a near perfect away performance apart from 10 minutes". If he did say that and is what he believes then I'm sorry, but he really doesn't have a clue of the standards our club has."
"WE CANT BEAT OLDHAM, nor 2X WBA neither ST.Petersburg nor any TOP 10 Side in the Premier League?! !!
BUT THAT IS PROGRESS UNDER RODGERS.... WHAT A JOKE!!"
"Perhaps if Johsno stops going forfward so much and let Downing get on with it we might have a chance to defend properly, Carragher must be biting his tongue the way we defend, saying that johnson stood still watching the second goal go in instead of covering the cross, shocking for professionals."
"This is the time where the supporters will be tested to the max. where the real supporters will be divided from the fake! I will be full behind the team and support them. Come and join me my fellow LFC supporters :))"
"Brendan Rodgers talks the same words on each interview kenny use to tell the press where to stick it as for fsg they have no clue about us apart from baseball they bought us and saved us thats all "
"we won't win the Europa league, the only thing that angers me is that after the West Brom game they go to Russia and make us re live our previous game, so how are they learning when they as a group have been making mistakes all season?"
"BR, we don't have chance, we should score 4 if they score just 1 in Anfield!! why no subs???! why you signed Assaidi? can't you see Allen is not good enough? why you always choose wrong tactics? young and inexperienced player for one game and tired players for another game, hope you and luis do better for next games"
"Yes we do have a fighting chance! We are fighting to avoid relegation with every game we loose! So yes you are correct Brendan in your assumption! This is the same nonsense we hear game after game after game!"
"Brendan keeps feeding the fans his deluded crap. He's the worst Liverpool manager in decades. Bringing shame and embarrassment to the club on weekly basis. If this was Barca or Real or Juve the fans would be taking to the streets in their thousands and screaming for him to be sacked. And rightly so. Sack Brendan."
"Still trying to buy himself time. In recent years I would of held hope, but under the stewardship of BR we have no hope, our record at home is not great and Zenit will definitely score at least once. This is the same guy that told us we could finish 2nd and then 4th and then said we always respond well after a defeat; yeah with another loss."
"Can anybody really say we have made the slightest bit of inprovment since the season started, I can't ...and to all of you that say."be patient, we are in transition" you are all dreamers that wear red glasses, we are in decline!!"
"Swansea are performing much better this yera WITHOUT rodgers, no lose to them what so ever, they will beat us again, we haven't even scored against them in open play!!"
"M_Doyle - Yeah why??? maybe because he has set us back another two years, because of is inept managerial skills. Lets keep him and sign a few more swansea players and look forward to a relegation scrap next season. Has our fans really become so mediocre like our team? No fan expected us to win the league, but they expected an improvement on last seasons finish."
"Sensi69 yeah you're right, there are some idiots who think Brendan is the new Shankly. What an insult to Bill. And some think Brendan should be given two or three more seasons! Ridiculous. Brendan is a deluded fool who should be sacked, we have got a lot worse because of him. The man is totally out of his depth. Brendan has to go."
"I miss rafa now! We need someone that doesn't tolerate rubbish performances. Br is out of his depth at LFC. We need someone that cares for the club has premier league experience and preferably has won against a team In the epl top ten!! Br out ASAP!"
"this is a good way to let off steam after a loss but do the players or manager read any of these comments or do they think us fans are 100% behind them ? Rodgers has to know that 95% of us think hes out of his depth !!!!!!!!!!"
"And that's what its all about, improvement? bottom line we haven't made any, its a worser season than last season cos we had 2 finals, a trophy and 8th, this season we'll have nothing and Finnish lower in the league than last year"
"Heres a radical thought.Leave out Johnson (he does not have the passion to play for lfc).I'd rather have a less talented player giving 100% with enthusiasm. "
", rest Suarez for 2 matches, as we can see that he is frustrated. When he holds up the ball it is only for the opposition to organise their defence. LFC players do not join the attack quickly enough they are very reluctant to get into he box. Bring on the youngsters who have hunger and passion. Suarez needs to be coached that at least 90% of his chances should hit the back of the net."
"open your eyes - i wish fsg would open their's..lol!
I hate to be negative but there is no posative to take at the moment is there,worse seson ever and very hard to take, dont agree with keep changing, can only hope we are both proved wrong!!"
"Rodgers compared liverpool to real madrid when he took over,well if real were 9th in the table out of two cups and nearly out of europe would mourinho still be in a job?No the fans would be going around with his head on a stick."
"I said all along Kenny needed a better backroom coaching team, Pako Ayesteran should have been brought in as his number 2, now we'll never know what might have been. FSG just do not know the game, they just guess and have a 'flavour of the month' policy in the transfer market."
"Sorry Brendan, the mistakes we made were made a lot earlier than tonight and we havent learned from them either. You are very poor at picking players to play for this club and you didnt learn that we needed more than one striker in the window. instead you bought a cup-tied one, with no backup if injured."
"This is painful, it is true that change take time, but one season is more than enough the evaluate. BR himself to he commit to improvement over last year and top 4 is within reach..if this is not the case end of season, he failed himself and us..all the best for the team "
""This is the time where the supporters will be tested to the max. where the real supporters will be divided from the fake! I will be full behind the team and support them. Come and join me my fellow LFC supporters :))" "
"all these fans saying everything is rubbish or BR should go ect... When they have been a top flight football player or have Managed a top team in europe or won football tropheys then maybe ill pay attention to their comments untill then stop saying how things should be run its becoming boring"
""This is the time where the supporters will be tested to the max. where the real supporters will be divided from the fake! I will be full behind the team and support them. Come and join me my fellow LFC supporters :))" "
""This is the time where the supporters will be tested to the max. where the real supporters will be divided from the fake! I will be full behind the team and support them. Come and join me my fellow LFC supporters :))" "

"Well, its good that Brandan beleive in his ideas and thoughts. I don´t. Didn´t from the start when this mery go round started it´s ride. BR, lose your pride and use the players for the quailty they manage. We´re not Barcelona, never will be,,never want to be cause that playsystem are so boring.
C´mon and save us from falling.
YNWA"
"
lfc4ever76: Totally agree.
It's always hard when you build something. It just take time. BR is young manager and he has to learn as well. But I believe that we can achieve our purpose in 2-3 years PL.
RED TILL I DIE "
"liverpoolbear - BR has not been a top footballer, nor has he managed a top european team, nor has he won any trophies...do you listen to him then. people want and need to express their feelings, the ones that think everything is ok and think they see something others dont see, there the bores!"
"Theirs too many lfc fans now days who seem happy with mediocre performances,Maybe you are happy with being a mid table club however im not.Go support wigan and take rodgers with you."
"I'm proud that us reds dont accept mediocrity. True fans that have supported this club all their lives, and will continue til the day they die, believe that we are currently mediocre.But that doesnt make us any less a fan.it shows we care. "
"makes me wonder wat assiadi done wrong, everytime ive seen him hes looked good but never gets a sniff, yet allen been crap for weeks and still gets a game,and br still says we were unlucky, not sure wat games he been watchin but dont think its lfc luis lookin frustrated and mentally tired as is steve,just hope we can do it sunday , cant cope with all this b/s

"Rubbish. BR needs to keep his corporate mouth shut and stop with the pointless waffle. LFC supporters are the most loyal and patient fans in the world. But we are certainly not stupid. The team is in shambles. SORT IT OUT NOW! Not in 6 months, not in 12 months but NOW."
"I don't think I'm less of a fan cos I slate them, I think they deserve to be slated, they get paid enough every week, that was me not doing my job properly on a regular basis, I no for a fact I'd be down the jobcentre looking for a new job"
"

"Seriously, stop with the lying. We don't need to hear it. Top 4, bs. Fighting chance, bs. We are out of this competition just as much as we are out of a champions league spot. There are still far too many terrible players on the team."
"I like the BR philosophy of passing game, even though many teams are playing this way without saying that too much; Arsenal and many other. What is become apparent though is that BR team and players selection is so far poor. Until now just DS is a relative success-too early all the other still not firing, very sad I had a great hopes for this season and new era "
"What a load of rubbish more crap coming out of his mouth 2 draws 2 loses Swansea are going to beat us and so are zenit poor players poor manager poor owners if Liverpool think I'm buying there shirt next year there's 2 hopes bob hope and no hope why pay for shirts that u can't be proud to wear over paid players with no heart just cash I'm starting to hate Liverpool fc "
"Negative on BR - Utd fans? Should BR have ran on the field and scored one of the chances agains WBA, taken the penalty? We don't have the money like City - we are building with youth - It took Fergie 6 years! His first year he finished 11th. You muppets cant give BR a season? Get real - Shanks didnt inherit success he created it - back your team - give them confidence or go and watch City "
"Nearly a perfect away performance...yeah ...awesome! This was Zenith's first compeive game in over two months so losing with only 2-0 is pretty darn perfect. I mean, who could possibly disagree with that assessement."
"Most of the posts here are newbs just reading the game from behind computer screens they have no clue.Rodgers needs time to turn this huge decline around.Its been due to many factors bad ownership,bad finances,signing crap players and no manager in the world not even king kenny was able to fix it.It needs time and patience.Thats not accepting mediocrity thats accepting REALITY."
"What BR fails to take into account is our inability to defend in the last 20 minutes! We must have the worst stats in PL for goals conceded in final 20! Against Zenit we will need to be leading by 5 goals by the 70th minute!!!!!"
"Borini was scoring in pre-season - is he being plyd out of position? Suarez needs a rest and/or quality players alongside him. Why didnt he let his adopted son Allen go in Jan? Hendo and Downers are much improved. We need quality NOW not kidz!"
"what I dont get is that some fans can get that you can expressed your frustration/concerns here and still be a dedicated supporter during games and cheer and support your club. to be continue "
"A. Villa and Baggies have shown how to win at Anfield and they aint no Zenit. We need a good defensive coach. All season we've crumbled in second half."
"The thing is the fans are keep going to pay out for tickets to see Liverpool Lose and lose we do all the time we do this nothing will change fans do u like havering man utd and other teams laughing at us well if u don't then for god sack stop paying to see crap matches we stop watching see what the owners have to do then but no all u idiots who pay your wages out for tickets are total idiots "
"It is my honest belief that Kenny and Clarke would have us fighting for top 4 this season. Our defence would be much better than what it is today. Hopefully we can make a big night of it in Anfield next week.."
"A newb i am not but reality is BR has had 30 games in all competition and he has the worst record ever and there is NO signs of improvement so at this rate it will take 5 - 10 years, but the top players wont stick around that long so we will always have new mediocre signings ete etc and it truth it will never happen! Under any manager we should not lose to villa, oldham the baggies, swansea etc.."
"96kingston I think you fail to understand that most are real Liverpool supporters/fans do tune in or turn up for the games. However, the dross presented makes a lot of people sad and can see that things are not what they should be. Open your eyes son and stop calling others! BR has not got it!"
"We should not lose, we should not draw we shouldnt do this we shouldnt do that but we do.Thats why ist called rebuilding, these things happen and it hurts alot.But thats how u get success, the hard way , not the easy way.you think chelsea or citys success will last? haha it wont.Br is trying to build a vision, like shanks or fergie. he needs time."
"I think the folks wanting br out are the ones who need to open their eyes and read the writing on the wall instead of deluding themselves.LFC have been in decline for 20 yrs not 5.That wont be fixed in 7 months by ANY mngr.KK leaving the first time and robinson leaving in tandem with fergies rise is what screwed us.Now we have to rebuild.BR needs maybe 2 yrs min."
"Rafa did well but thats the same as chel or city, success that wont last.Br needs time to do a fergie or a shankly and build an insution that will last.THAT is true success.Chelsea have spent billions and over ten years have won what maybe 5-6 cups and in huge debt.you call that success? haha"
"FSG bought this club to make money. They dont care about winning, the club, or the fans. They only care about profit. When the value of the club starts to tumble due terrible mismanagement and continued poor results they will sell the club. And I for one will be glad to see the back of them. "
"Why do fans keep saying it took fergie 6 years it took shanks years before they won anything,that was the 60s and 80s football has moved on.Their is too much money on the line today to give a manager 3-4 years to turn a club around.Rodgers will be getting a one way ticket to boston at the end of the season."
"We continue to go backwards, everything is worse than last season & more money & time wasted.We need a competent experienced management team. FSG should have given Kenny more time or at least brought back Rafa. This losing philosophy is not acceptable. "
"i am really sad.we players the break thrie legs for liverpool not like no 19 i donot want to call his name b/c he afired i want to say him go and play tenis "
"Why dont people read what i write? Past managers had plans and visions and were fired before they were given time to implement it. Thus we are caught in a vicious cycle. Newb amateur fans only react to each game, not the bigger picture.First losing stretch, fire the manager.yup solves everything.except it just sends us back to square one. I rest my case"
"Our performances have been consistently very good. Most pundits and journalist say as much. I think we are moving forward. Two excellent performance v Arsenal & Man City. 5-0 v Norwich. We outplayed Man U 2nd half at their place. I pity the fans that can't see that. This tie isn't over and it's not May yet either. YNWA"
"Quality of player recruitment in the future must get better. We have wasted so much money over the years on "average" players. I appreciate we cannot for many reasons go out and buy the worlds best especially if we do not qualify for Champions League, but we must do better. We have had far to many more bad buys then good buys over the 21 yrs of the Premier League hence why we have never won it."
"Sorry rodgers, ive to say youre S***!
Last thing we need is experience and fsg spent it on this clown and sold kuyt bellamymereiles and loan carroll who has international xperience. yet we bought borini allen henderson and promote youngsters . BR, go home youre drunk!!!"
"BR must change team formation to defend better.
maybe like this if Sturridge not fit:-
reina
johnsn wisdom agger enriq
carra lucas/hendo
suso gerrard sterling
suarez
GOTTA STOP LEAKING GOALS!!"
"total s&*t as usual,fed u with people sayin great football,great passing,playing the liverpool way!!we r winning nothing and that is the main thing!! rodgers signings have been s%$t! 30 mil on allen borini and assiadi!! makes me want to boke!!!wan%$r"
"Some post are so hilarious the posters themselves must be hitting the bottle. Rodgers is here to stay haha. FSG will back him because he fits into THEIR vision and in turn will give rodgers all the time he needs. As long as he does not get us relegated BR will be around.As for wanting mourinho, new players, this and that who cares? People in hell want ice cubes too."
"didnt houllier have a five year plan to win the league.After 5 years didnt win it did he,every manager we have comes in with a long term plan cus it buys them more time.Did avb need 2-3 years to get spurs back in the champions league? i rest my case and no i aint a newbie fan just one with a brain."
"whoever does those great big banners please print,
WE COME NOT TO PLAY, WE COME TO SING,
WE NEED A FANTASTIC ATMOSPHERE.
LAST TIME I WAS AT ANFIELD THE KOP WAS SINGING BUT ROUND THE SIDES WAS DEADLY SILENT. IF SOMEONE COULD GET ME TICKETS I WOULD COME JUST TO TRY AND GET PEOPLE SINGING.
LETS RAISE THE ROOF
YNWA"
"LFCfor_the_win - You are right it takes time to build a dynasty, but you don't go out and hire someone who has a below than average CV and give him the task of turning it around. You invest the money in a proven quality manager and build from there. FSG are trying to do everything on the cheap, this is why we are in the predicament we are in. Cont "
"In his short Managerial career he left Watford by mutual agreement, sacked by Reading. He has only had one good season and that was with a team that had already been built for him."
"Fsg only bought this club to make money and dont care about winning. Do u realise how STUPID that sounds. If LFC dont win they dont make money DUHH! I think the aver poster here must be about as intelligent as a nutshell, maybe even less.LEave FSG and rodgers alone. They need a few years to get the mess sorted and they will.No quick and easy way back for liverpool im afraid.YNWA"
"All those people backing Brenda just shut up i am sick and tired of losers supporting our great club. Liverpool is for winners not losers including you Bodger, now walk on, What has he shown us for us to give him more time,, nothing give more time we will get relegated."
"LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING KING KENNY BACK.
I WILL ALWAYS WANT KING KENNY BACK, REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE THINKS.
ERASURE SONG COMES TO MIND, IT STARTS WITH:
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUVE GOT TILL IT'S GONE.
LONG LIVE THE KING!
YNWA"
"Well the fans are certainly divided that's for sure. FSG needed to appoint an experienced world class manager who would unite the fans. Instead they gambled on a cheap rookie who talks a good game! "
"What a joke you think you can keep the disgruntled fans from voicing their opinions! By blocking our comments! The truth is there for everyone to see - Brendan is the WRONG manager for LFC!"
"lfcforthewin - are you a gambling man, if so what odds will you give me that BR will not be the man to bring the glory days back to anfield in the near or distant future?"
"God here come the kenny clowns..... I dont think BR is the right manager, but Dalglish is responsible for this mess. 35million on carrol who is a loanie thats scored an outstanding 2 goals! Downing 20 mil yeah... no! Henderson 20 mil!!! Adam hahaha and what we got to two cup finals and were close to being embarrassed by Cardiff! Bring the King back hell no!!"
"The atmosphere at Anfield as been e for weeks- the fans are turning, and if you can't see it BR then you're blind. I guess you are seeing the harsh reality of being a rookie manager managing one of the biggest clubs in the world. Gonna get a whole lot more awkward after Sunday....."
"Ok the results continue to frustrate but too many people forget just how close we were to administration only to be saved by FSG. Without FSG we would not have the financial security, plans to increase Anfield and a more importantly a proper future. Yes it is rubbish looking up to the Mancs however don't forget it took them 26 years to win their first league le after many years. "
"LFCfor_the_win - Do you know how stupid your last post sounded. Of cause they making money with a low outlay on team spending. They are making a packet through our global brand of merchandise, TV revenue plus Sponsorships. You never did economics at school...right? We would make more if we were successful, but they will not be ready to spend that kind of cash."
"Not been a good week for us. Should've thrashed WEst Brom, just didn't go our way, tonight against Zenit, not to come away with AT LEAST an away goal is dissapointing, Suarez had an off day, he did look FREEZING though. Onto Swansea, win that match and see where we go from there. Sturridge will return soon hopefully. And Next Year, have a REAL Go at it, Rodgers will learn from his mistakes."
"Maybe the rookie owners and rookie manager combination was a gamble too far? I hope I'm proven wrong. What a shocking week. Years of mismanagement has brought us to this point. However- don't forget it's not BR that has stiffed LFC- he never sold us to Hicks and Gillette who started this. Yanks and LFC don't go. 2.5 years of FSG and going backwards. FSG- take your broken promises and do one."
"We deserve proper owners whose sole interest is making LFC great again. FSG are not, and never will be such owners. We are Liverpool Football Club- WE DESERVE A LOT BETTER THAN THIS. "
"How should we score 3 with a clean sheet producing so much failures in our game that cost us lots of goals and points??? Sorry but due to past games I've thrown all my expectations for the rest of the season overboard."
"Rodgers makes hodgson look like a tactical genius,however i agree the problems are much deeper than just the manager.The players who are on huge money need to ship up or ship out."
"Near perfect eh Brendan? What game were you watching?
Seriously worried about lack of passion and effort our team have showed last few games.After each defeat BR says team so disappointed and well up for next game. All words - not happening.
Losing 2-0 and only brings on Lucas! What's going on? Fast losing faith and I hate to say that. Get Carra on coaching team."
"LFCfor_the_win - Old enough. Do you even go to games? or do you just believe everything your tiny little mind comes up with. Most delusional comment I have heard on here for a while "no win no money" You have obviously never run a business. Your good entertainment value, so from now on I think I will look for your posts. I always need something to cheer me up after a defeat."
"R:LFCfor_the_win: Why give Brenda time he has spent £50m and he will embarrass us more, How can we have an idiot as a manager if we ever play in Europe he will bring shame to us, dude we lost 5-0 total to WBA he should have died in shame. Please people we need winners to support us during this tough times."
"As long as there is a second game there is a chance. We would need to turn the clock back and produce one of those old winning European nights. Please include the game winning younger Steven Gerrard."
"Sensi69 i always liked winners that is why i supported Liverpool from young age in 1983. can't stand people backing wrong we need to stay strong dude, we cannot accept losers in our great club."
"lpdcollier- not about people being proved right for me pal. BR- don't ask! The problem is that he talks a lot, but is not delivering. Now if the fans see him like this- do the players? Is it a coincidence that Jamie's retirement since, team spirit seems none existent- has something gone on? "
"West Brom and Steve Clark will beat us in PL, Zenit an average euro team beat us well. All i can say is good luck to everyone because i cant see this going another 12months and fans still happy with the team."
"I guess if BR and the team come through this- they'll be better for it. However, support must never become blind faith- and this season is worst than last. That is a fact. Hindsight- we should have kept Kenny and be fast tracking Jamie for the managers job. As for BR? Just don't know. "
"I wish LFC could get a win! Rodgers is accountable for our results. I could take defeats if I could see any form of progress. The fact is we are going backwards! It's a shame that some fans accept such utter cr*p!"
"R:eUSEBIO we can but you need manager who knows a bit about tactics, i am afraid to say it want happen dude. Let me tell you something we will lose to Southampton you know why because their manager is a better tactician, Fact remember my words. ."
"RushJob9 - Yeah something really seems off. I never thought he was the right man for the job, but I have supported him, because I desperately want us to succeed. But the more games we play the more he seems to "me" tactically inept."
"What the team did is build a mountain they may not be able to climb! If we couldn't beat West Brom at home, hell, we couldn't even draw; then what hope are we fans supposed to have? And poor defense has been our story all of this season. Conceding very cheap goals! It's Pathetic really!!!"
"Dreadful in the transfer market, and am not seeing any tika-taka pressing football. I'm really concerned that FSG have made another huge mistake to go with the countless others they've made. Still reckon they'll flog us (why they bought us). Lpdcollier- your thoughts? "
"R; LFCfor_the_win dude the more you put YNWA more it makes me think you are a manc, lets have a bet i tell you this Brenda will not be our manager next season,?"
"To the anti KK fans, please take your heads out of your arse! last season you stated we were inconsistent & poor. Not good enough for LFC, players overpriced & poor. Trophies & euro qualify meant nothing league form everything & since xmas form not good, missed pens & hitting posts no excuse CONTD "
"I'm not sure what went wrong. Is it the cold weather? Is the atmosphere? Inexperience? I think liverpool is in a nervous situation now. They need to put the past behind and remove all the expectations on them and play with their hearts. Put their body on the line and give 200% effort to the cause."
"We are not playing the type of football he wants- hence Allen been such a flop. Now if he cannot instill what he wants onto our players- he obviously isn't strong enough is he. Rafa wanted Gerro right mid- Gerro played right mid. That's management. Too much talking for me, and not enough action. Like FSG- full of hot air. I want actions, not words re Stadium and team. "
"I believe it takes time to rebuild and a club must stay with the same manager and his ideas, changing these season after season will get us nowhere, but his same reply to every loss or boring draw is getting tiring and he must realise he constantly selects the wrong players/tactics "
"another thing thats annoying is all the talk of 4th place, because everytime it seems code that we are about to be beat by what i would call i lower team. Soooo much talk and nothing to back it up "
"This year it's BR is new shanks, players great if given time, we are getting better, BR has no money, I predict such & such will be a gem. The signings are great once they get some form. GET REAL! we are no better than at this stage last season, except no chance of winning a thing. CONTD "
"RushJob9 - My stance is the same in regards to our transfer dealings, we spent money on players that were not even better than what we already had. Sturridge the only exception. As for FSG it is very strange that we have not heard from them in months, they are always piping up when its the red sox. So maybe there is some truth, we may be sold in the summer. I don't see it though"
"We are a team in form? yer right, 1 win in the last 7, worse than last year! players we look to now are ones not good enough/deadwood from last season. Reality "as I stated in May" it takes time to build a team & replacing the manager just puts us back 12 months at least! CONTD "
"RushJob9 - I think next season we will see Liverpool pulling in a large profit, which will just go to show this is a money making business for them rather than a project to turn us into world beaters again."
"I really hope Sturridge comes back in for Sunday and we spank Swansea- cos no matter what I think of BR and/or FSG- I only want LFC winning. A terrible week so far however......"
"LFCfor_the_win: now i heard it all so you are racist Rafa couldn't talk thats why you didn't like him but Brenda talks crap and you like him, dude i give up i am going to sleep. Good night all that Idiot ruined my valentines day feel deflated not horny at all. Brenda that is not you LFC..."
"FSG were brilliant to come and save us but don't forget they got one of the biggest clubs in the world at a good price!! now what they should have done is left it for Rafa Benitez to run but instead they went for rookie Rodgers! contin..."
"contin.. you never see the owners at Anfield and gone are the days that Linda would tweet and ask what to sing at Anfield ! such a shame and I don't blame if baseball is their thing but Liverpool Football Club is ours and we want to be great again contin...."
"Rodgers buzzword for February is "the group", which in Liverpool often refers to "The Beatles". But in reality, only BR knows what it means for sure. Same with his "philosophy" and "style of play" buzzwords. All these bizzwords are b0l0cks. "
"I want to support BR, but it's difficult to do so in the light of results. Football is a result business and if it's not working for BR, i think he should simply step aside. "
"therefore, perhaps they should choose to sell us on! either way Brendan Rodgers has to go the job is way too big for him. FSG please don't think LFC fans take this sacking a manager lightly as we don't but we love our club like we love our family YNWA"
"After KDs sacking so many supporters still strongly disagree with FSGs decision and therefore it begs the question of how it ever came to this? They knew he was too strong a character for them to mold. Morph can make as many mistakes as he likes this season, next season there shall be no excuses.Come on BR - LEARN!"
"If we continue the mediocrity play in the next six to 12 months likes of Suarez won't be there to carry us. I for one would not blame him for wanting out from the misery"
"What have FSG actually done for the club? Any of the bidders would have paid off the debt, so what have they done, besides
1) Lie over the stadium
2) Lie about returning us to top
3) Sack a legend for Beginner
4) Talk crap.
5) Hide from the fans."
"Fair comments. I like the growing pains remark. Suarez should've scored at least 2 and possibly 4. It was a mad game, a bit like West Brom at home. Walk on!"
"Rodgers needs to stop with the lies also has to take the blame for the 26 million pounds he spent in the summer on players who cant make it in to the first team. if you give 26 million pounds to managers like micheal laudrup who was available at the time god knows he would have bought atleast 3 world beaters like his signing of michu for 2 million compared to 12 million signing of borini.
"
"BR is good coach/manager but not a good motivator. Squad is lacking motivation you can see it. Turn things around lads, the taunts and mocking of my beloved club is unbearable."
"i will always support my beloved club,LIVERPOOL FC BUT i DON'T AND DO NOT support BRENDAN RODGERS as the MANAGER of LIVERPOOL, PLEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1SACK BR"
"One last thing i rememberd that is 5 games in row we conceded 2 or more goals. starting from 3-2 oldham. I rest my case Bodger is not the answer good night all."
"I have to say I was furious after the West Brom defeat, the first time since Roy Hodgson I've passionately wanted a manager out. All this talk of how important our home form is yet we are not producing the goods and I'll be honest, like Hodgson, Rodgers looks to have run out of ideas. We had better start getting results soon because BR is on trial in front of the grand jury. "
"Supporters have to understand that there is nothing wrong with BR. His approach was fine, created so many chances in the last few games but Liverpool players can not score and the defenders are not consistent. Any new manger will face the same problems. It is sad but thanks God we are not in the relegation zone. "
"LFCfor-the-win Liverpool may have been in decline for the last 20 yrs, but in that time they have won 13? major trophies, now they struggle to win 2 games in a row. I don't expect instant success, but would like to see progress."
"Rubbish again! Going backwards! I am sick to my stomach watching this garbage! Rodgers is totally out of his depth! We will finish in the bottom half! In a few years we will be in the top 4. In the Championship!!!"
"The biggest thing for me is how many times Rodgers has said this season- we need to learn from this performance/defeat and we will learn from it but theres absolutely no evidence of any lessons being learnt so far, so how can we expect things to be different in the future? "
"From the minute Suso stopped playing regularly our form has dropped. From the minute YOU saw some potential in Downing our form have dropped. From the minute YOU have playing Henderson instead of Allen, our form have dropped..
OPEN YOUR EYES"
"We really should improve in front of the goal on both ends of the pitch - we concede too much and not scoring enough. Football is all about goals, everything else doesn't matter. And we are poor on both ends wright now."
"this is not good....absolutely not good...we are Liverpool for God sake, not just a "team"...may now I can agree...Liverpool is just way too big for Brendan...I heard about a rumour...Carlo Ancelloti is in our heavy consideration, is that true ?"
"We had a chance at 0 - 0 you spanner!! But with your SHI%# tactics we are yet AGAIN out of a competition!! We aren't progressing we are receding!! Kenny got us to 7th and took us to 2 cup finials he's the reason where in Europe!! Some "fans" on here are idiots who need to get a grip!!
That is all. "
"Henderson, Downing, and Allen are GARBAGE! They have NO talent why is B.Rogers so stubborn about these three players. Give Suso, Shelvy,Assaidi and Sterling more game time. They have more talent than these three idiots (Henderson, Downing, Allen) We have nothing to lose so play the young players Rogers!"
"Nothing is impossible! We can still do it because it has been done before! How many times have we climb back from the jaws of defeat and made our way back to the top! Remember 2005! We were almost eliminated and yet manage to win our 5th Champions league cup! "
"During all those times when we were at the jaws of defeat the crowd at Anfield did their part in creating a European night that scared off our opponents! Time to do your job again! Let's make this a European night to remember!"
"Too many fake fans without a real idea of football. was we really the favourites to win tonight. away goal wouldve of been nice, yes. give br time. we are not in the glory days.build, build, build. ynwa"
"Most of our players don't have passion. Kenny built a passionate team. Maxi, Bellamy, Kuyt, Carroll all gave 100% each game. Brendan came and got rid of those guys and brought in some players who are "technically good". Liverpool are now a team with little passion. I thought being proud of playing for your team was a BIG part of success. Thanks for a horrible season Brendan. GET OUT BRENDAN!!!!"
"this mess is heartbreaking fsg should of left us where they found us this slow painfull decline by mishandleing one of the worlds great sporting icons is shocking in the extream .SHAME ON YOU"
"The reality is that most of the time we let it slip away 15-20 minutes from time. If we can improve on that area I am sure we will be up again.
We are the best supporters in the world and all these sour comments just shows how devoted we are to the team.
I think this season ended when Aston Villa hit 3 past us but I will give Brendan another season to AT LEAST make a top four finish. #YNWA"
"The only way to ease pressure is by scoring goals and stout defending. But if your team can't do that, then we can't expect any change in fortune. Also introduce young players like Sama and Gulacsi if seniors are under performing."
"First time I've posted but have read lots of the comments on here and find it hard to understand the viewpoints of many apparent 'supporters'? If we had converted the chances tonight we would have been waxing lyrically about a wonderful performance. But we didn't, so deal with it.Cont."
"Cont. We are not the Liverpool of 20+ years ago but a new and slowly improving Liverpool. It's not going to be instant and there will be mistakes made both collectively and individually. Patience. Support the players and the manager and confidence will grow, keep knocking them down and we'll just regress further. Keep the faith a little longer. YNWA"
"We won't claw back the game next week, we should just move on and concentrate on the league. Its unreal expectations that dampens fans ardour. Lets all agree that its next season we should be planning for as this one has been in transition and we will not see the fruit of BR endeavours until he has one more transfer window. "
"The "Bacelona Tiki Taka" philosophy CANNOT work in EPL and against other teams with closed pressing counter-attack tactics, like West Brom and Zenit playing, unless you have Messi and Bacelona football team. Rodgers MUST have PLAN B if Tiki Taka does not work, like flowing long ball to tall central FW.
"
"Will be difficult to win by 3:0 in the return game. The boys just have to try and find the back of the net. Sloppy defending for the second goal by the way!!!! We need a few wins now, tired of defeats.....it's hurting us bad, real bad."
"with ur favourite crap player allen playing ...it was doomed from the start ..
To have Stevie playing defensive without support to Suarez was plain stupid ...Downing..why the hell is he still playing 1st etam football ??"
"the pith was very bad and BR wanted us to play posseison football on a bad pitch ???
shows he is not wise enough for game tactics..No Plan B at all ..2 goals in the space of 5 minutes...poor.."
"Its not Liverpool..It was like a bottom championship team. BR knows to pass and dominate the game but he can never win..never PL le..ever! Frusturated again"
"If kenny is remained he would have improved the team much better then BR. when we play city & Ars my confident was very high and it went very deep suddenly after this 2 games..very hard to take..If this continue mamy kopites will have haear attack..BR is the only responsible!"
"No No No No BRENDAN! Today's match was not a terrific performance. We have only created less chances than zenit had. We are not even clinical at all. You have to stop defending your players and MOTIVATE THEM! Punish them if you have to coz this GREAT CLUB is going nowhere at the moment"
"M Doyle.
Mourino given £150m and Rogers £50. These guys are not complete idiots. Would you give Rodgers £150m. They gave him £50m and look what he's done with that."
"We all looked forward to the Transfer Window. It looked so promising and we were linked to about 99 players. What did we get? A young lad who might be good, but might not, but as with so many we aquire we can't get him on the park for ages, and a good player (sturridge) who can't play in the only competition we are NEARLY left in."

"BR TIME FOR YOU TO BE SACKED !! BRING BACK RAFFA AT THE END OF THIS SEASON ATLEAST HE GOT US SECOUND PLACE ONCE AND MANY SILVER WARE !! BRING BACK TORRES AND ALONSO AND A WORLD CLASS CENTRAL DEFFENDER = HAPPY DAYS AHEAD...."
"I don't know why everyone is complaining against BR. He's made us consistent. Look at the last two results and I'm sure we'll have the same against swansea. well done BR!!"
"For LFC to pay £10m for Borini, someone must have seen him good for something. Can you please tell me what it was. My imagination won't stretch that far.
I read somewhere that Downing was the best crosser of a ball in English football. For my money, he couldn't cross the street."
"before the game and just wish a draw but the players played with no hearts and now i feel the great club is without a braveheart to face all this problem .We got a clueless manager and heartless players playing just b'cos they been pay to do it ."
"Now even the LFC fans is condeming each others saying each other with no idea .LFCfor_the_win r u a racist or juz bcos u stayed in a first world country is not full of BS .2yrs ago i saw uk is in roit on the street .so this is also a third world too "
"Stop blaming FSG all the time, the only one to blame is the Manager. Gets rid of the only big guy Andy Carroll and replaces him a bunch of midgets. Allen, Borini, Sterling, Sahin. We play against the world best defense in the Premiership with these featherlights and think we can win a sunday morning non league Ladies Cup with these players. Just forget it. Get some heavyweights up front."
"EPL's most successful European team now lives in hope. Given our not so convincing home form, I can't see us making up the deficit. Lets push for at least a Top 6 finish in the EPL. Forever Red!"
"Suarez, pls score goals when in d box not dressing the ball to make d goal superb. We need goals anyhow it comes.. Learn from van persie, he scored anyhow when in d box which is what d team and fans need. Fans dont need hw d goal is scored, all we need is goal. Please "
"I am sure we don't have a chance in hell to win at Anfield. The atmosphere is always great at Anfield but still we lost to west brom. From what I saw yesterday, our atude is not good. What about the pressing game BR was talking about. All I see is other teams dominating us and we keep on chasing the ball."
"patemondo read my other comments also fully. Suarez & Gerrard are out of form coz of their fitness issues. They 're very tired. Stevie infact has played a lot more than expected..."
"If you watched the game closely yeaterday, you would see that Zenit were very dangerous with quick flowing football. All we did is pass the ball from left to right without ever being being dangerous. At times we couldn't even make three decent passes. Mark my words Swansea will win at Anfield on Sunday."
"It was mentioned but I have to say it again why is BR playing the same players who were so bad last year, Henderson, Downey plus Allen, where are the new and young he was starting with, enough is enough"
"rodgers has nothing. he's got to go !!!he's running this club into the ground, starting to not even like watching games on tv (i'm in australia) dont blame suarez one bit if he leaves because i cant liverpool winning any silverware under this regime...."
"MarioBaloteLAD: Liverpool FC's games will now be shown on Gay TV. ITV4 felt the sight of 11 s getting hammered for 90 minutes was just too explicit! From twitter."
"call me old fashioned but i like the idea of 2 strikers starting a game in front of goal. whats he's face went to Real and started with 3 strikers!!!"
"You call this type of football building from the back? We keep on committing errors with defenders passing to the keeper and the keeper looking for the nearest player. It's so easy for the other team to read our play. The midfield is too lightweight. I think it has been a big mistake appointing BR. Look at the Spurs under a new manager for the first season. They are doing pretty good."
"I think players and manager alike have to stop doing interviews here. There's too much talk without ever being succeeded by the right action. The atude is wrong and wrong atude does not reap positive results. Either change what you are doing wrong or go, because the owners did not give Kenny a decent go. Why has it to be different for BR? This season is worst!"
"What stupid hope?
We had chances against WBA & lost 2-nil. Then, the coach "had great hopes because we created chances" now we've lost 2-nil yet the coach has "great hope we created chances".
Great coaches talk sadly when their team gets these results but our baby coach has 'great hope' for some reasons instead of correcting the wrongs in the next game. Guess we need big coach to be big"

"A Team which controls midfield wins the match. Gerrard was sitting too deep because Allen was literally not present. If Gerrard was playing as CDM, how can he control the midfield ? Jose Enrique, Steward Downing looks threatening against mediocre teams because they are not read well.Against good teams, these 2 players go out of depth. Sell Andy Carrol and Get Xabi Alonso."
"Since we invented that "attack is the best defence", why are we putting only Suarez up front, since the defence is useless, put 3 or more strikers to make up for that. Poor Suarez he is burning out. We are back to square one, really hope to get 5 or 6 points from 12 games to stay in the premier league"
"after pulling an all nighter to watch this live at 4am and then going to straight to work for a 10 hour shift, I am still p.i.s.s.e.d off. I have lost faith in BR and I did give his "philosophy" a chance. I just don't see it working. "
"Liverpool FC has had a style of play for decades and that is the Liverpool way, not tiky taky or 4-3-3. I don't BR sacked after 1 season so I honestly hope he proves me wrong.
YNWA"
"What?!? celtic team and swansea cost less and they beat barca and go to cup ginal respectively. its all about teamwork rodgers put on the experienced players. what a rookie"
"Thanks so much Goldengerrard for saying that Rodgers needs to keep quiet and stop using words like outstanding and hope when he should show us he is truly upset about what is happening to this great club, "
"I am not in favour of axing another manager.BUT, I'm starting to lose faith. We are supposed to be on an upward curve. What the hell now. Maybe the only way is to buy the le like City and Chelski. I want to stay positive Mr. Rodgers but I feel very negative after last two outings. Anfield crowd also sounds anxious about the next defensive desaster. I wish I could be there. "
"Simple stop blaming rodgers.. is people blind.. we have been in decline for years part from one or two years of success.. rodgers needs time.. we have dominated most teams but defensively lacked any confidence and clincally not finished.. that wil be built in time. "
"We will go through bad times.. we have to accept how we ae at the moment.. do you want to keep changing and looking like chelsea.. we need stabilty!.. it will take years but give him a chance.. unless you fake fans who moan everytime.. i saw the same rubbbish when rafa n kenny was in charge.. there is a vision.. financially n a idenity is building jusr be patient "
"To those that brag on us goin forward. Yes I agree on great performance against mu, arsenal, mc and unlikely to win. But to be fair, what about the great great performance but for the last 10-20 mins defeat to stoke, WBA, and latest zenit etc... BR got no hunger to win the game, taking of an attacking player and replace it with a defensive mid shows that ...."
"
LFCfor_the_win: I am an Indian and I am supporting Brendan Rodgers even after last 2 outings. Don generalise your statements. There are few fans in Liverpool also whi is not backing BR. So its my kind my request pls don generalise anything when you don't the whole truth..cntd.."

"we need stability, Br declared it would take a couple of seasons, to rotate they squad, (few ins and outs), we cant keep firing managers.... BR has been out of sorts with his last two team selections... we all this would not happen overnight and as success like that normally burns bright and fades quickly... testing times need a determined patience..."
"I don even get sleep some days when liverpool loose you know...though liverpool has nothing to do with India I support them as i support my indian cricket team... I am as passionate for pool as i m for cricket..contd.."
"at the WBA match and I have to admit the atmosphere was soooooo quiet.... a few in the Kop and Ani road end give it a go but overall you could probably read a book undisturbed... time for the fans to sing again, thats what we are famous for... So lets do it and suck that ball into the back of the net..."
"I am supporting BR totally coz we are liverpool n nt chelsea who keeps changing manager...may be he is rookie bt we need to give him this summer window. we should actually valuate him be 2013 end..if he is inconsistent tat tym also then may be we have to rethink..."
"Mr Henry and Mr Werner, are you reading whats being said?
You are a few games from getting the Hicks and Gillett treatment if you dont act soon.
Us fans travel miles to see the club and pay hundreds every season, give us something back!"
"The time for a change is when a manager loses the faith of the players and not when anyone else says so. Unfortunately, Standard Chartered decided Kenny should go 18 months ago, and we started slipping from our uplift of the new owners since then as everyone behind the scenes new he was a dead man walking.... BR will still have the players behind him, and the owners, and should have all of us too."
"Buddha compares Rogers to Shankley, and I agree with him. BR has been trying to model this revamp in the same way as Shanks did. That was a diff era of course and it was prob less strewn with MegaBucks as it is today, but its obvious that we must stay this course if we are to succeed. You doubters out there should bite your tongues till they bleed coz nothing will change otherwise.."
"Liverpool is great on European nights most of our opponents will fear our Anfield as the 12th player inthe team that we loveAs much as i also hate the way BR talk, it is never about the coach .Its about LIVERPOOL.Show the world why we are the greatest fans ever in the return leg.I am sure we will win. The players need our chanting, unlike the crowd that we were at the WBrom game."
"Oh please shut up. Getting bored of this ser now. He has us a defensive shambles and we could't hit the broadside of a barn from the inside. Where was the response he harped on about? We're no better than Stoke or West Brom."
"The team is obviously lacking in depth and we hope that the summer transfer window will fix that. Sturridge's arrival clearly has shown what a quality player can do. But we will need several of his ilk to maintain some level of consistency. Our defence is making too many mistakes and we need a capable back-up for Lucas to shield the defence."
"Since Caragher started to play we conceded two goal per game, Arsenal, City,West Brom & Zenit Petersburg.Brendan you lack confidence to subsute senior players like Suarez and Gerrard when they are not performing good. Not only players you also need experience so pls get it from somewhere else not here."
"Rissriva is totally correct, we are not Chelsea, we are not abt to change our manager just coz welost a few games. The team is beginning to play better but we lack the players to make that step up. We will need to offload a few & bring in a few more quality players. Those who scream for BR to be sacked must be very young and hv no clue that our past success did not happen overnight either."
"Oh please shut up. Getting bored of this ser now. He has us a defensive shambles and we could't hit the broadside of a barn from the inside. Where was the response he harped on about? We're no better than Stoke or West Brom."
"Sterling and Allen were weak throughout this game, should have had them off at half time and used Lucas for Allen and Shelvey for Sterling. Sterling nice going forward but no guts or ability to tackle back. He has certainly gone off the boil since his contract was resolved"
"It's as if any of you people with ALMOST bottomless wallets decided to buy a baseball franchisee in the U.S but knowing squat about the sport. What would you do? Listen to locals and be compelled to follow whatever advice they give. The whole idea is just rotten. NEVER SELL THE CLUB AGAIN TO PEOPLE CLUELESS ABOUT FOOTBALL "
"Please dont play carragher anymore. Maybe not his fault and play well, but how many have we conceded since he started from arsenal games, is 8 goals, and how many games have we win since he started, none. So, please BR, please start agger & skrtel/coates. "
"Sterling = NOT FULLY MENTALLY DEVELOPED, for f**k sakes Rodgers, is your deal with ASSAIDI??????? 5 times the player sterling is yet his rotting on the bench, heaps of skill, talent, EXPERIENCE (which sterling lacks), Quality and donâ"
"Allen = rubbish, borini = more game time, 20min every game is not going to make a change, he still needs adapting to the league especially since his return to injury, "
"Agger& Skrtel = wake up call, put carra(who is performing well) and coates in, make A&S start fighting for their places again, far too many easy goals happening, Suarez& Gerrard&Lucas&HENDO(yes hendo) = Passion they give their all in every game, but they are not the team. Gerrard loses the ball and then starts walking,(not his fault but his aging) his not got a lot in him, "
" give shelvey more time in Stevie G position, MIDFIELD, his not a CAM or a f**ken striker, his a MIDFIELDER. Move Gerrard up let him lose the ball in their half at least he has an eye for goal and cool under pressure unlike shelvey even courtinho will do a better job, DONâ"
"CB carra, coates, Agger, Skrtel, RB jhnson,wisdom,Kelly,flanno LB enrque,rbinson GK, Reina jones gelusci? Make these players compete for their places, look how amazing coates plays with Carra? Put him with Agger or Skrtel, he seems to fall apart not knowing where to go. We need GK and LB and one more winger,"
" COURTINHO IS A CAM, not a winger, he might have played their inter, but this is the EPL not serie A, this is way faster.ZAbaleta, Kyle walker, sagna will make mincemeat of him. Now ASSAIDI is a different story, how can you not play a play that scored 4 goals against Ajax in one game? "
"I know this is a lot guys but I am so frustrated like every1 else. I live in South Africa and I get harassed by Manure supports about my team. I love LFC as much as all the true supporters here, BR makes a lot of mistakes yes, but his the manager, and I still back him, coz we need to start building from here, but he needs to step up, but even more so I blame the players! "
"Something needs to be done to them, Manure goes out whether its reading, Oldham or Real Madrid, they go out to crush their opponents in the FULL 90 mins, not 2 â"
"lol, why you all complaining? BR is the new Shankley & Allen is the new Xavi according to self-declared expert Buddha. Just listen to Buddha & we'll end up in the bottom half of the table... Buddha, Lonewar and LDW wanted Kenny out, now they HAVE to stick by anyone other than him.. Their words mean nothing..."
"need to stop making excuses for poor poor football , we game the one player that could hurt us miles ov space , an to top it off we played joe , allen . asking to get walked all over ! every game we see , we will make up for it next week . if we dont be carefull we wont even finish top 10 an deffo wont play europe games again . we had chances last night just dont take them "
"It is sickening when you here tv pundits and non lfc fans putting spurs in an echelon above us nowadays when 5 years ago spurs fans would struggle to even spell Europe...."
"Season Over end of. At leaste now BR has a 6month pre season to get it better for next year. However with no European football next year Suarez will be playing for Bayern Munich."
"Play Johnson further forward. He's great going forward but not so good at defending. 1-0 would not have been too bad, then Skrtle misses a tackle and Johnson goes asleep."
"At this rate we are not even going to qualify for Europe.Brendan what page are you on in this 200 page doent cos i cant wait for the last page which says "The End""
"If we do get through next week, it will be a huge lift for us all. We are LFC, so let's have hope in our hearts, and hopefully have one of those Euro Anfield nights that we are famous for.... 4-1. Or am I as deluded as my non LFC friends keep telling me!?!!"
"BR will be in charge next season and he will have you all eating your words without a doubt.. Just for the record, "I LOVE KD" Never wanted him out, although someone will try to convince you I did buy trolling and creating posts in my name over the last year.. I am guessing they must absolutely love me to have done this for a year now...."
"To SMG 73, are you having some sort of breakdown? maybe call the samaritans or something, get your facts right, also stop visiting my KOP profile page and posting your vile abuse....all the posts you have posted in my name were never put up by me.... Too many imposters/trolls on here...."
"How many more years are we going to spend saying we are in transition? Basically that is what BR is saying, but in different words. This seems to have been the story since Houllier took over...thats how far back and unsettled we are. Needs sorting and fast!"
"Until we are bold enough to put Suarez on the bench and put a reserve team striker, we are going nowhere. But, please someone tell me, what exactly is happening to my once enviable club. BR, pls we are big club, so buy big!"
"Why people are wanting BR out i dont know because if he goes it will be back to square 1 with a new manager with different tactics etc... get behind the team and give them a lift or go support a different club"
"Because Rodgers had a much bigger job on his hands, than AVB and Pardew, Newcastle and spurs clearly have a better transfer stategy than us, we had made too many poor transfer decisions over many seasons going back to Rafas last two years,(ie the Alonso/Barry saga) that weakened us as a team and financially,we really have to start again..."
"I am certainly not saying, Rodgers has been a wizard in the transfer market, as there are question marks over a few of them but only another season will we find out if he was right or wrong... Lets not do what we did to Dalglish...Lets him buy the players then shelve his project...it causes too many problems...."
"Better start by teaching them all to play football oh and stop making rediculous passes they are just a mess after 55 years of supporting lfc amd embarassed to wear any of my lfc gear what a load of crap"
"This is not Rodgers team. None of his purchases were to blame zenit. Judge him after 3-4 years. Next year after some investment and Sturridge being able to play in all comps we will be better. Suarez needs to be benched 4 a couple of games. He is burnt out."
"the reason we are not successful this season is that we are trying to bring through too many young inexperienced players at once, to win a match there is only room for a maximum of 2 such players, we are short of good players particularly a strong dominating midfield player (SOUNESS)and another striker. when sturridge is not available we only have Borini, either play him or he goes."
"I DNT WAT TO SAY ANYMORE,WE GOT AN OWNER WHO ARE LEARNING ABOUT FOOTBALL,AN AVERAGE MANAGER,I JUST WANT TO TELL MR HENRY IF U WANT TO MAKE PROFIT FROM LIVERPOOL FC N B SUCCESSFULL,U WNT BE UNTIL U INVEST WIZ QUALITY MANAGER,PLAYERS.ZEN U WILL SEE RESULT IF U THINK ABOUT PLAYING LIKE BARCELONA REALLY,U CANT DO IT WIZ AVERAGE PLAYERS."

"Only a manager with a high calibre like Rafa can create miracle like Istanbul. Brendan is the worst manager, Liverpool ever had. Sack Brendan, Liverpool is not a training ground for Brendan."
"How ironic that this Sunday will be the biggest match of the season for both LFC and BR. Lose and all hope of a top 4 finish is GONE! We should write off the Europa League cos Zenit will come and win the game playing counter attacking football because for all our pretty passes we just can't break teams down and score when its nmost needed! Disappointing to be a LFC fan these days!"
"I am from Greece and real FAN of Liverpool since 6-7 years old.I never remember myself without interest to watch a match of LFC and even to wish them to loose in order to leave finally this person(BR)from the club.Is the first year in my life that i don´t care for results of the team and i don´t care to see our matches. You know what?i don´t care to win a trophy!I just need my DREAM back NOW!"
"Most of this team have been together for years yet BR says they are still learning! Learning what? Football is simple.
Defend well, show some bottle & get stuck in, then score more goals than the opposition! What else can he teach these overpaid players? "
"Main culprit for this HUGE mess are FSG who interviewed several managers for LFC job. We became the laughing stock & many stayed away from this joke recruitment. After R Martinez stepped out they finally set their choice on BR because of his Football plan doent with NO CV, No experience & NO trophy, only an above average season with Swansea finishing below LFC. we sow what we reap."
"The glorious times when we crushed Real away & home and were difficult to beat in Europe under master tactician R Benitez just a few years back is hard to believe now. We were in Top 4 & Champions L up to 1/4, 1/2 & finals almost every year. Sorry he was sacked for 1 off year when Torres & Gerrard & Aquillani were mostly injured. Look where we are now...Yesterday (continued) "
"(continued) Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday...Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong. Now I long for yesterday. Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away Oh,I believe in yesterday"
"b.r is not the man for lfc,
he ok for a middle table team, and thats what we have become,he got the same old story week after week,
allen, sterling are not good enough,suarez and gerrard have had enough and no wonder carrs is retiring he seen enough.
lets hope we sort it out for next season with some in charge and knows what he is doing.
"
"Rodgers quote "near perfect away performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hahahahahahah, is the man on drugs! Get him out now, clueless and embarassing loser!!"
"Stories cirulatimg that BR has lost control of the dressing room. Sad ifhe has, but with his lack of experience it wouldnt be a surprise. Last nights performance tells me the players are mentally fragile, which comes from little belief in what they are doing #astonvilla"
"Rushjob- TBH I think it has looked like that for a while. I don't like to be negative but that's what I see. Players are always going to come out and back the manager,no matter what.That's one of the things that makes me laugh,when people say Stevie G is backing him,at the end of the day he is a good pro,what's he supposed to say? Of course I hope it's wrong,as we need some sortt of stability.."
"BR the point is we didn't score goals (again!) Allen is not a holding midfielder and never will be! Downing is not effective on the right forget the left! Lucas held off the pitch (for Allen) until 78th min??? Stirling out muscled throughout (but at least he took player on) No physical holding strength up front. Hederson not sure what his role is! Its becomming hard to watch! "
"Resign NOW!!!
I'm sick of watching the once Mighty Reds lose!
Every manager, every year tell us long-suffering fans to be patient.... We've been patient for more than 20 years!!
Rafa should never have gone.
Come on FSG, face up to the fact that BR is not up to the job!"
"BR has lost the plot. No clue on which is his best team. Do not understand why he keeps playing Joe Allen who is a failure and waste of space. Against Zenit Lucas and Shelvey should have played. Bring back our man from Westham. Do not just play kids who lacks experience and strength. Great progress with the so called project - two steps forward and 10 steps backwards! !!!!!!!"
"At the moment, the club is taking money under false pretences expecting people to pay money to watch this rubbish and BR is taking money for imitating a manager, and not making a very good job of it!
