OBVIOUSLY we wouldnt make a decision based on what Liverpool think. I'm just making a statement that they'll love it. You bothered to quote me to state the obvious, congrats.
No you are absolutely right. Rodgers is usually well rated by neutrals, especially when he gets Leicester a good result, but almost every liverpool fan i've seen usually scoffs at this praise. Not to say they hate him, there is still some respect, but I think they know him better than everyone else.
Before a season begins, a team’s SPI ratings are based on two factors: its ratings at the end of the previous season, and its market value as calculated by Transfermarkt (a site that assigns a monetary value to each player, based on what they would fetch in a transfer). We’ve found that a team’s market value — relative to their league’s average value — is strongly correlated with its end-of-season SPI rating. Thus, we use these market values to infer each team’s preseason SPI rating.
Well if you read your post to which I was responding, you would see.
In general, I think you can tell something's wrong when people start saying that certain players are just bad at basic things. Anyone at Man Utd has made their way through an extremely competitive youth system (at whichever club) and belongs to the top a-few-thousand active football players in the world. There is no way they have poor football skills; they are awesome at the basics. So if they can't control the ball or complete short passes during a match, it's not that they're worse than even I ever was, something else is going on.
It probably is harsh but my point was more that just because he’s set up Leicester well and they are doing well it doesn’t mean he’s a shoe in to make us better. We’ve had better tactically minded coaches than Ole before him and imo havnt done as well as Ole, I know they won a small trophy within two years but you have to take in consideration where we were as a team and cup
Having thoroughly enjoyed Liverpool’s decades in the wilderness it’s excruciating to see the same pattern on here now. “Next year will be our year. We won’t win anything with that squad. We need a a new CM/CB/RW and the league is ours!” Depressingly familiar.
Funny you say that because I felt exactly that way. I almost asked the same question ie why so agressive.
If Ole were sacked who would you rather have who we can realistically get?
The pressure of getting the dippers back up on their perch was surely comparable? And he was a Stevie G slip away from doing exactly that. Having said I think managers are responsible for their players performances it would be harsh to blame him for that slip!
Understood.
I’m sure we can realistically get 90% of top managers in the world.
I’d say he had a free run and it wasn’t as expected to win it as they hadn’t for so long. Maybe if he went there now it’d be comparable but I don’t think it was at the time. When he manged Liverpool did the fans expect a proper run in every competition they entered? I’lll don’t know.
This.
Not even close.
These many games into the season, SPI is basically an indicator of performance. This is why you'd notice the SPIs change every GW, like for example Pool had the 2nd highest SPI comfortably at the start, however, due to their performances, this has come down to tied-third
Flick could become available quite quickly if he finally has enough of Salihamidzic (and vice versa). They might have made peace in public now, but there is a big risk for a final blow to their relationship.
Rodgers is a good manager. Did well with Swansea, then he also had Liverpool balling out and came second with them. Did well with Celtic too. He’s done a great job everywhere he’s been from what I’ve seen, while playing good football too
This is definitely true and I 100% was guilty of this.
You’d think so yeah, who would you go for though? I feel like there’s a lack of available top managers with pedigree at the moment, though I could be wrong.
I'd go for Nagelsman or Rodgers personally.
Take a look at what you have posted here and realise how stupid a post this is. Yes we want to win stuff, and Rodgers would have us a darn sight closer than Ole. Rodgers is criminally underrated and every team he has managed has HUGELY over-achieved. He had Swansea, Liverpool, Celtic and now Leicester playing scintillating attacking football, and all bar Celtic had/have no right competing near the top (Liverpool were average at that time).
Simply no way is AWB a better full-back than Ricardo.
What is so funny? He is tactically excellent. In fact, bar Pep and Klopp (debateable), I can think of no-one better. If his name was German most of our fans would be all over him. Pathetic and negative approach to be honest.
Sometimes you have to just ask yourself what's the point. Everyone thinks the glazers is the biggest issue but really it's sentiments of downed expectations from the fans.
His best strengths is his man management and motivation, tactically he is naive and not that much better than Ole. Disagree with the German name which is quite frankly borderline racist tbh, he hasn't been performing in the bundesliga which makes this completely irrelevant.
On what level is that racist!?!?? Goodness me, you are pathetic and precious! If he was German/Spanish/Insert other Nationality here, he would be viewed far more favourably by our fans in my opinion, which is so small minded. I never said he was managing in the Bundesliga.... Keep up! And okay if you are going down that route, he isn't managing in Germany... He is in fact managing in a far harder and toughly contested league and excelling. Not quite sure how he is tactically naiive? Look at his results!
Then why even bring race into this?
Who would be your choice of manager between Solskjaer and Rodgers ?
It is completely relevant! You are pathetic and when I can work out how, I intend to block you as you are throwing out crazy accusations which have no place on here. I am sure most posters would agree. Read my post. ON NO LEVEL is it racist for goodness sake.
It’s a well-established footballing idiom to highlight the idea that players or managers playing within Britain get judged by a harsher standard than their compatriots playing elsewhere in the world.
Personally would take the risk with Nangelssman.
So then you are saying our fans are racist ?
