City have taken the League cup serious since Pep turned up. Stating it’s a trophy. Yet the amount of times I have read “yeah but it’s not a Major trophy, Nothing to get excited about”. Yet now I get the impression it’s a massive trophy if Spurs were to win it. ?

I'd love us to win the league cup

Never got how it's not highly regarded. Yes you don't get the lower teams but that surely makes it harder to win

Always pressure at Liverpool to succeed and he didn’t - he even had a chance and blew it. He was never good enough to manage Liverpool

Got to love the self importance of some fans of the big clubs. Yeah, because we're Liverpool and we deserve better than Brendan Rodgers. We hadn't won the league for over 20 years before he came but we still deserve elite managers coming to our club because we're so entitled. If it hadn't been for "Slippy" Gerrard falling over at an inopportune moment we could've won the league under Rodgers and then I'd be praising him to the rafters but because I can't criticise Saint Stephen of Gerrard I'm going to lay all of the blame on Brendan.

I think your making that up for yourself there, it doesnt have to be one or the other.

For my mind, BR is a great manager and I think he would do very well given a big budget that the likes of most of the top 6-7 have squandered over the last 4-5 years.

oh dear

Imagine a fan not thinking a manager/player isn’t good enough for their club - imagine it being so rare ?

Rodgers is a good manager and I believe he is at the exact level of club right now

I didn’t think he was good enough when he became our manager and over the 3 and bit seasons he showed that. As for the title challenge - we dropped 5 points in the last three games to lose by two points - mainly because of the way he set up the team, Gerrard slipping cost one goal , Rodgers set up over those final games cost the title. The next season once again showed he just wasn’t the manager to give Liverpool fans what they wanted ( not what they believe they are “entitled” too ).

He isn’t the first manager that fans don’t think is golf enough for the club and he won’t be the last

Potentially he may well do or he may well miss out again just like last year

And if he does let’s hope he makes a better effort than his other attempts.

I dont think you can put it all on him.

Defenders not following runners (Palace game), and I actually agreed with him putting Coutinho on for more goals at 3-0 as we were battering them by HT and should have been 6-7 up, as it could have went down to goal difference.

The following season losing Suarez and Sturridge being injured every 5 minutes would see anyone struggle.

I'm not saying he was perfect, as should have replaced Mignolet earlier, but he should have also been backed more, financially, by the owners at the time.

I still think he would do a very good job if he had City/chelsea/Man united/Everton's spend over the last few years, and you can't discount what he did at Celtic. No matter what the circumstances, winning all domestic trophies and going a season unbeaten is still some achievement.

He had big defensive problems that would have taken £60-90 million at the time to sort out, but he played some of the most attractive football Liverpool have ever played, and the premiership has seen.

2 Liverpool fans with differing opinions, who'd have thunk it? ;)

It’s never always down to the manager but those games against Chelsea and Palace should have been played a bit more differently

He spent £200mil in three seasons at the club

He was successful at Celtic - but in Europe with the same Celtic ? Not so much

Decent manager - who maybe Arsenal should have looked at but I don’t think he has justified a top club giving him a chance along with lots of money.

He did play exciting football during one season and was good to watch - but so was Evans teams in 90’s at times. Just need a bit more to make the step up to being a top elite manager as such. Maybe he will if given another chance.

Give over Phil,you spent endless hours on here telling us how good he was & defending him if anyone criticised him ?
 
wow VAR has outdone itself with the West Brom goal disallowed tonight, cant class him as onside because they cant see where his shoulder is, utterly ridiculous

thats at least 4 hideous decisions on goals this weekend, not to mention getting multiple red cards wrong (or not advising them)
