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

Agree mate. The other thing that cheeses me off is hearing a lot of the pundits/media saying Smalling and Cahill should be the first choice centre-halves for England, I know I may be biased, but Stones and Jags should be first choice.
He was born in Dublin but was fetched over to England either as a baby or a very young toddler IIRC.
Which I do believe is what I said in that post if memory serves.
And the context was the belief that Liverpool had never signed any Irish Catholic players prior to Ronnie Whelan and that it is totally bizarre that LFC are popular among Irish taigs.
We were saying that Heighway was raised in England ergo they did not buck that trend when they signed him from Skem.

Actually @Lids1978 I see what you mean now.
Buried deep in the bowels of this here thread is another discussion about their anti Irish Catholic leanings and I had posted a more accurate post about Heighway's antecedents......that we came to England as an infant and made his way through the non league ranks to THe Pit.
With his name and accent they likely never sussed him as a proper Mick otherwise Liverpool Rangers would have chased him away

He is increasingly relying on this line. It cleverly deflects the blame away from himself. The problem he and Liverpool have, is they can never give him the same "tools" again, notably Suarez on fire, backed up by Sturridge, Gerrard, Sterling.
His move to try and attack his critics in the media after a flukey win against arguably the worst team in the division. Rather than just keeping his head down and taking the moral high ground that will inflame the media and the fans who are against him.
His next run of fixtures are Everton, spurs away, Southampton Home and Chelsea away. That is a nightmare run, especially when you consider to follow that he has City away. To date he has had an easy run of fixtures. He could be looking at picking up just a couple of points from his next 4 games leaving them languishing towards the bottom of the table with a trip to City to follow.

B-Rod stating the obvious,any manager with the best players will do the job,thats why top managers tend to stick with the

6 games in and he's already overseen two 0-0 draws with possibly the most attack minded team that's ever been seen in football.

barring suarez he's never managed top class talent either .... not well anyway. you'd argue balotelli is a big name and some view him as top class. nobody else though, sturridge is good like. i mean i'm not sure what he's getting at, did chelsea reserves have some top class relegated from the first team?
Remember when Shelvey had 'all the tools'.
Rodgers is clearly convinced of the lad’s quality. In Episode 5 of Being: Liverpool, before the Hearts away game, Rodgers pulls Shelvey over to tell him that he sees plenty of quality in him: “I know you’ve got all the tools to play for me for the next ten years, do you know what I mean? So I just want you to get that in your mind, cause I’m doing it for a purpose, because when I see you, I think if I can have Joe, Lucas, you in there then that gives me three midfield players, but one that can get goals, cause I know you can score, cause you’ve got quality”.
But kept them in his toolbox until Monk got hold of him and turned him into a better player.
By taking on the RS dominated media, it shows Rodgers is an even bigger egotistical fool than I thought possible. They have deflected criticism from him and his 'wisdom' bull and backed him to the hilt. It is just now, he and his team are too much of an embarrassment. They have lost 'the faith'. Rodgers is toast and he knows it, and will blame anyone and everything but himself.
“I am the same guy who nearly won us the league, but better,” he said. Says it all really about how much up his own backside Rodgers is. I can't remember a single manager, not even Mourinho, that has ever said it was 'he' who won the league (nearly with Rodgers). Even if they did think it, in public they go through the platitudes of saying 'it was the players that won the league'.
Rodgers is a dead man walking, and a poor performance against Sion on Thursday and a stuffing at Goodison next week will do nicely.

I'd love him to lose the derby obviously, but I want them to win handsomely in Europe.
I want every reason for Rodgers to say. Two more transfer windows and he will definitely bury them for good for the next decade.

hahaha that is quite funny and i do like that cheekyness, but lets be honest, as a young footballer trying to make your way in the sport, this sort of thing is not going to help you. just a massive indication of the ego of modern day footballers really that they think they're better than small clubs now they've "made it"
