Eds, lots of debate on here on how the season has gone so far, and a substantial number of posters saying they wish or want Rodgers gone ! In your opinions, do you believe FSG would actually relieve him of his post this season, or like me, do you believe they have entrusted him with the teams fortunes for the remainder of the season.
Yes, they were woeful against West Ham, but played some great football at Arsenal in the first half. I think we could definitely get top 4 with some luck, especially if we eradicate the silly mistakes made last Saturday.
Appreciate any responses you can offer.

I think it's more to do with the way we lost, the patience for Rodgers is already, at best, extremely negligible.

It isn't one game though is it? it's a continuation of last season's awfulness and nothing had changed or will change until the manager is replaced.

Ed002,
So are you happy with BR continuing as manager for the rest of the season?

{Ed002's Note - I really have no feelings about it either way.}

Ed002 - It's not just one game - brendan has been clueless for years. Many fans were probably prepared to give him another chance with all the changes in the summer, but that westham game just showed he's learn't absolutely nothing.

{Ed002's Note - So it is just the one game then?}

he's a chelsea fan, so he's not inclined to feel anything about it.

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to fo with being a supporter of Chelsea.}

I don't think its completely fair to say everyone has turned after 1 defeat. A lot of posters thought he should have gone in the Summer and were indeed surprised that he still has the job. I think you have used the term "flake" to describe Rodgers in the past amongst others. The reality is that a fair amount of fans are not really willing to give him much time after the season we have just had. I would hazzard a guess and say that your good self would have got rid a long time ago. Cheers

{Ed002's Note - Sorry - feel free to grizzle about the use of English and "everyone". 95% of the posts after the game were wanting the manager out. This is typical of the Liverpool page. The fans are fickle and flakey and spend most of the season whining, grizzling and generally abusing the owners, the players and the coaching staff. Rodgers is very much returning to being a complete flake with his Tom Peters management theories and his embarrassing power management statements. I find him and many of the fans to be generally embarrassing any time near a game - they deserve each other.

You are right about my thinking he should have been moved on. I have said before that I would have gotten rid of Rodgers over the summer - there were several available options that would have been available and one in particular would have got everyone settled and playing well without spending another £100M or so. Jorge Jesus. He would have been ideal to give the team perhaps two or three years to settle before handing over to someone younger and up and coming. It would be a good manageable solution that would have kept costs in control whilst stabilizing the side.

But that was not to be.}

It is one game, but if Rodgers still hasn't learned his lessons from last season, then he never will, not at least for a while. The fans are sick of this guy undertaking training on the job.

How come you feel indifferent about Rodgers staying for the season if you believe he's totally out of his depth? Because you think he'll be gone relatively soon anyway?

We could probably do with Jesus as our manager right now!

{Ed002's Note - But is is not going to happen.}

Ed02 you got that name spot on mate, Jorge Jesus. Brilliant manager and would have been a rocking appointment. One of the best attacking side in Europe Benfica is excellent.
100 mill and the club would have been flying. Vastly experienced.
We had his name on this very page along with some other. But Jorge was realistic, yes very much realistic.
I rate him wet high like Emery.

It's not one game. It's been a continuos trend of failure, incompetence and a seeming willingness to not learn from his mistakes. What we saw on Sat is the same snooze fest we have seen since last season till the game vs Bournmouth where we were being played off the park. I have been frustrated and based on the WH game, it is not about to abate.
