ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[davek]

We will get stuffed

Maybe, maybe not. We can get something there. I'd prefer the Derby right now, tbh. We are never more dangerous than after a pummelling.

Eto'o will net'o at the Ghetto.

 

[Carlito]

Just seen Brenny's quip about Sterling dribbling like Ricky Villa.

Would have been funnier if he said he finished like Rickie Lambert.

 

[Carlito]

State of that penalty.

Joe Allen wasn't messing when he said they need to be more dishonest and underhanded.

Not at all. If anything, from reading RAWK and other fans' forums for so long, I've realised that I am a very objective, non-biased football fanatic. I basically call it as I see it.

I am a Manchester United supporter. I despise Liverpool Football Club. I can't stand that twonk they've got managing them either.

But he's a good manager and that's not just my opinion, it's pretty much fact.

He has taken Swansea from the Championship to the Premier League, playing beautiful football along the way.

He has taken a 7th place Liverpool team filled with dross to runners up in the league within 2 years and with playing pretty football along the way.

Like I've already said, I can't stand the bloke - he grates me. And he's not some genius - he's still young and learning himself. But anyone who thinks that he isn't a good football manager is quite frankly barmy or refuses to acknowledge it.

he's won nothing of note though - a play-off championship and been sacked by reading and watford - he's done a good job at liverpool but been heavily backed.

 

[toffeejack]

He was "lucky" when he managed to get Swansea promoted by playing pretty football and by finishing as runners up with Man Utd in the Premier League?

How so?

And I think "fraud" is harsh. I agree that he's a prize pillock who think he's the next Shankly though.

also swansea were always going to get promoted. i's been watching them for years and year upon year they improved and got closer, it was inevitable - all from something martinez built

if i see his sister tomorrow i'm letting her know how terrible it was, also going to ask her if it's something they install at that club. it must be, every single player in their squad is prone to a bit of diving.

before today, i've never seen joe allen dive once and i've watched him for a fair few years now. never done it for swansea or wales, he's a nice honest lad - cheating would never be something i'd associate with him - but that was really poor.

 

[Khalekan]

really? is ricky gervais well known for his poor finishing? or do they just have the same first time, hardly makes him oscar wilde

Nope.....it is Brent trying to convince the Cultists he is a latter day Shankley...

I think the RS are definitely going to win the League now that Rodgers has told Balotelli that he has to defend at corners.

"Rodgers said the striker had initially been perplexed in training last week when asked to defend at corners. “For the first time in his life he marked at a corner,” said the Liverpool manager. “Seriously. An international player who has won three titles in Italy, cups, the Champions League. We were doing corners and I said to him: ‘I’m putting you on [a man] at [defensive] corners.’ He said: ‘I don’t mark at corners.’ ‘Ah, well you do now.’ He went in and he had a great header today from a corner. Treat him like an adult and that’s [what happens]".

That Mourinho and Mancini were in the wrong with Balotelli because they treated him like a kid. Jesus wept, what a buffoon Rodgers really is. Not only do we have Stevie me's, 'we go again', we have Brenda's 'well you do now'. I suppose the 3 envelopes tuppence ha'penny psycho babble is very 'adult'.

And the Kopites think hes still retained moral integrity because Allen said he was going to do it beforehand....so that makes it ok. Their barometer to right and wrong is always shamelessly skewed according to how it suits them of course....it would appear were the only people who recognise it. Not theyd care anyway....they never self examine.

Rodgers the no mark schooling successful managers how to manage players.

Can there ever have been a bigger con man in British football for the past two or three decades?

haha, I hope someone digs out that comment in a couple of months time when the novelty wears off and he slides back into his wandering around the centre circle, not arsed, lazy, moody, bell end self & B-Rod can explain how his Shanks level man management ability appears to have waned somewhat.....

When the sulk throws his dummy out, Rodgers can always bring back the 'brains of the team', Coutinho.

Amazing how this bull about Rodgers improving players doesn't apply to Borini, Assaidi, Coates, Agger, Connor Cody, Wisdom, Adams, Carroll, Downing, Tiago Ilori, Aspas, Luis Alberto, Lucas, Yesil etc. But the RS dominated media tell the world that Sturridge, Sterling and Henderson are now world class because of Rodgers 'man management'. It will be interesting to see what impact Sterling has 10 games in, similar with Balotelli and Sturridge.

Possibly this bloke with his history of ruined clubs. Topical too seeing as its deadline day.
