Will Liverpool FC ever learn.

Good manager, if you have the players to pass the ball around at the back and in midfield. Didn't work when he was at Reading as we have always played two wingers, and two holding midfielders. The players just kept giving the ball away, especially at the back, as they were not comfortable on the ball.

I think he will do well at Liverpool providing he can bring in the right players. Sigurdsson could be his first signing. Not sure Carroll will fit into the system, as it suits quicker forwards who can make good runs off the ball. Suarez should be perfect, or perhaps Messi.:whistle:
 
Gareth , did you hear the SG interview with England , he seems ( &always did seemingly) to think RH is a great man & great manager , great tactician etc .. it was the Liverpool fans that didnt want him .. How this reflected into the players not trying is a strange one to me but hey ...

I honestly think ye need to forget the history thing for a bit , get in a young manager & give him 3 seasons , if he can do a job with limited resources at Swansea , what makes you think he cant do a job (given time) with the pool ?

Don't get me wrong Blade, I'm a fan of Hodgeson but there are definate similarities between his and Rogers appointment.

The same could be said for Villas Boas at Chelski. 1 good season at his previous club....

The point of the thread wa snpt to slur any manager, rather point out this is the 2nd time in as many seasons Liverpool have opted for a manager having only really had a good season the previous year.
 
Yeah i agree and even been linked with Martinez was a mistake ,not even a good season ha , a good last 8 games or what ever ..
I think Rodgers might be the job for ye tho , again he needs his players to step up & TIME to build ..
 
He did get Swansea promoted the season before as well, had a good record at Watford, and was highly regarded by Mourinho when on the coaching staff at Chelsea. Don't discount a manager because he is young.
 
Everybody approached about that job was under pressure as I had heard that if anybody else had turned the job down the government were going to stop their benefits.
 
Wasn't Ferguson young when he took over at Aberdeen?
Clough was also a young manager when he started out.
Guardiola was young as well.

Maybe Rodgers is the one for Liverpool.

I'd like to know who the mystery advisors were who FSG were in cahoots with over this appointment because if they believe Brendan Rodgers is the man to get us back into the champions league and compete then they're going to be very unhappy in 18 months time.

I like both Rodgers and Martinez but I just don't think they're ready to take on the massive job that's needed to be done.

After Ian Ayres (LFC MD)statement after kennys sacking he stated that regardless of whether we'd won the fa cup, Kenny would've been sacked based on the league table position. If that's the case then Rodgers better be prepared for the same treatment.


If true then its a pathetic decision imo.

I'm discounting him because of his experience not age. He's done a good job with swansea no doubt about it but avoiding relegation and trying to break back into the champions league is 2 massive different challenges.

Liverpool need an experienced manager and can't afford to be giving chances to younger managers tight now.

Hold on they went for experienced managers in Hodgson and Dalgleish.:confused:

Incorrect, they never appointed Roy and when they sacked him they put Kenny in charge til the end of season.

They appointed Kenny last May after some cracking results/performances.

Hodgson was appointed by the old regime.
 
I think this is an excellent appointment. Rodgers plays the type of football I want to see and really the type of football that Liverpool should be playing to get back to the top.

When my club took him from Chelsea he had no track record or experience at all. He just had the recommendation from Jose. In his short time, he changed the way Watford played from long ball to using the grass. As Rich says it was unfortunate that the players werent good enough to retain the ball, leading to mixed results. But you could see what he was trying to do and I'm glad he has been proven right at Swansea.

For me, the last thing Liverpool need is another experienced manager who will do the same thing as has been done before. They are not a big enough club anymore to attract Pep, Jose, etc. so I think it is a refreshing change that the owners have taken a gamble to freshen things up and bring in a new, forward thinking footballing manager who understands where world football is going, not wherein has been.

Let's hope he given a full chance.
 
Jings the guy has not yet been appointed and some fans are wanting shot of him.

Why does Carrol get such a poor press at Liverpool. I think his running off the ball and positional play are very good. The fact that he can find the net is also a bonus.

Sorry but I thought that Liverpool Football Club appointed Hodgson or Dalgleish :confused:

My point is Liverpool have had two highly experienced managers who they saw fit to sack because of bad results. Experience is no guarantee of success, otherwise you would be looking to appont Neil Warnock.;)
 
Not too bothered about this appointment except that I hope Swansea don't go looking in the direction of Ian Holloway.

I didn't say I want him out, I'm prepared to support him as I have all of our managers /players but as a match going lad who pays £850+ a season to watch them then I'm entitled to my opinion.

Carroll has struggled at times but is capable of much better and hopefully we'll start to see that next season. The local press don't really get on his back unlike the rest of the rags
