Disagree. We can also point to our injuries and say that if we didn't have any of those injuries we would have been ahead further.
Brendan Rodgers was once the manager of Liverpool Football Club...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
You're well within your right to have that opinion, I think a lot of United fans would have. I just think he was missed far more than any of our injured players. Heck, if he'd have been in position instead of Sterling or Balotelli in the games we played alone, he'd have punished us despite the brilliant De Gea. I think he's that good a finisher.
"there's a lot of hysteria around the team, the club and myself"
proof that Brenton reads RAWK?

Brendan Rodgers claimed there was a conspiracy to oust him from the Liverpool manager’s job after the pressure on his reign eased with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa. Daniel Sturridge scored twice, the injury-plagued striker’s first goals since March, after James Milner opened the scoring on 66 seconds against his former club to give Liverpool a first win in five Premier League matches. There were nervous moments for Rodgers when Rudy Gestede twice reduced the arrears for Tim Sherwood’s struggling side but, after seeing his side move within five points of leaders Manchester United, the Liverpool manager condemned the “hysteria” he believes has been deliberately stirred in recent weeks.
“I was never worried about the players,” said Rodgers on an improved display. “They have been absolutely brilliant this group here and they have worked very, very hard. I am pretty confident that there is a group of people that don’t want me to be here as manager. In all competitions this season we have lost less games than Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.
“The hysteria around ourselves is interesting to note. Myself and the players stay very calm and work very hard, and they got their rewards.”
The Liverpool manager refused to identify who he believes is behind an alleged campaign to force him out of Anfield. However, he is believed to be aggrieved with the number of former Liverpool players turned media pundits who have criticised his team’s poor form and results in recent weeks. Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Jamie Redknapp have all been critical in their roles for Sky, though, when pressed, Rodgers would only say: “I am talking about people outside of here.”
He added: “I think it is pretty clear. Sometimes we haven’t lost games and the hysteria around it is pretty clear. There is maybe something else going on from behind. I will continue working with the players – they have been absolutely first class – and we still have top class players to come back in.
“The players and the supporters were fantastic today, we gave them something to sing about. We are five points off the top with a lot of progress still to come.”

agree.
Not trying to jinx him, but Sturridge has a questionable fitness record.
Getting Sturridge back is massive for us. Now all we have to do is keep him fit!
Rodgers is still under huge pressure and I can't see him lasting much longer. We beat a poor Villa side and tried to let them get back into it a few times. Granted we looked better going forward than we have done for a long time but I can't see Rodgers still being in charge at Christmas.
According to the Express, Klopp has said he's available now and Ancelotti has said he'll be available in December. Wishful thinking maybe, but we can hope

They were still absolute shite yesterday, it's just Villa were even more so.
They will be lucky to get a point from their next three games.

If Sturridge can single-handedly keep Rodgers in a job, the caf should do something nice for him like send a get well soon card for his next longterm injury.
I'd hurry. The way it's going he'll be at Chelsea soon.

I found this hilarious in its delusion and self-importance. Sounds like a man who knows he's blown his chance at managing at a 'top' club and is putting himself up for his next job already.
"We were eight when I arrived, look at where we are now"
This is just great. "I'm me, but better! What more could you want than a better Brendan?"
That "talented group" will have to be largely inherited though. He skips over how dire he's been in the transfer market.
A slap in the face that to his current squad.
This smugness after beating tactics Tim is fantastic, long live Sturridge for keeping this idiot at Liverpool
What a total twat of a man.
He never learns, after all his previous bullshit has come back to haunt him, he comes out with utter drivel like this which will come back to smack him in the face down the line.
Pro tip Brendan- learn to keep your mouth shut, it wont make you look such a massive prick when things are not going your way.

In that middle paragraph he's basically saying he hasn't got any top players.
EDIT: And he's the cnut that brought them in
There must be something in the Merseyside water, that makes you delusional.
This is like the old Bob Monkhouse joke about people laughing when he said he was going to become a comedian.
"We were eighth when I arrived - look at where we are now"
I can't take this guy seriously, he's just so awkward.
I get the sense he knows the end is near and he's doing some self-promotion while he still has the media's ear. He's good enough to manage a mid-table side but realistically, he'll never get hired by any of Chelsea, City, Arsenal, or us. Maybe Tottenham but they're short of Liverpool's resources. This was as close as he could get to the top in the English game but he'she's obviously fallen short.
Probably natural laxatives translating to utter shite.

"- Without being arrogant -" Sure, Brendan if you say so
"Give me the tools.." he says, but they are his signings. I don't believe he can hide behind the transfer comittee argument, it looks like Rodgers are trying to blame his transfer failures on others. Henry or some other exec mentioned recently how Rodgers had chosen the signings himself this summer.
The man really is hilarious, one win at home against Villa and he blows his own horn as if there was no tomorrow. KRAP

Wow, I will be absolutely thrilled with my manager's vote of confidence if I was a Liverpool player. Best of luck to him to try and turn this around.
Just like everyone associated with Liverpool, it's never his fault.
I agree with his veiled assessment that this is a shite squad.
But someone needs to take responsibility for spending a fortune on so many average players, i don't know if it's him or that transfer committee, but someone should be sacked for it.

He's complaining about the squad (indirectly) but he's the one that's wasted the money that was given to him.
How he's managed to turn throwing his current team under a bus and admitting he was pretty much carried by Suarez 2 years ago and has poorly replaced him into a boast is pretty impressive.
I can't wait until their next poor result. Everytime he opens his mouth he manages to shoot himself in the foot.
Beating Aston Villa under Sherwood at home is apparently considered a huge deal these days.

Incredible, just incredible.
Thankyou Brendan, just when it looked like you might have a inch of integrity about you. Alas, no

Prick. That's a despicable interview, he's not only talking himself up (unjustified at that), he's doing at the expense of our current group of players.
I love the guy, suits them perfectly. Long may it continue
