pete0 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hamann is known for his sense of humour, but it's hard to tell whether he's joking. DietmarHamann Imagine if BR only had half the money available that got wasted last year we wouldn't be far behind top4 so people should give him a break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Just listening to something on the radio and was wondering, how long does Rodgers get as a 'settling in period' it's all fine and well being happy with individual performances, but it's a results game at the end of the day.

Romey 1878 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Just listening to something on the radio and was wondering, how long does Rodgers get as a 'settling in period' it's all fine and well being happy with individual performances, but it's a results game at the end of the day. Â Any thoughts? Â The owners, and fans, need to realise that he's inherited a pathetic squad and that it's going to take time for him to build his own squad, with players that are suited to the style of football he wants his side to be playing. He needs to be given at least 2 years to try and make that happen. I'm not saying the settling in period is a couple of years but just that it's going to be a bumpy ride for them while he tries to put his plans into action. He might fail (I hope he does) but you can't just give the man a few months before hounding him out when it's a monumental job he's got on his hands.

Avinalaff Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Is it a 'pathetic' squad? Â It looks pretty good to me. I just think he needs time. Already I've seen them play better football, and I'm sure if he gets a few seasons they'll be back on track. I'm enjoying them being mediocre, but it won't last forever. Â 1. Jones 2. Johnson 3. Enrique 4. Sahin 5. Agger 7. Suarez 8. Gerrard 10. J Cole 11. Assaidi 12. Pacheco 14. Henderson 16. Coates 19. Downing 21. Lucas 22. D Wilson 23. Carragher 24. Allen 25. Reina 29. Borini 30. Suso 31. Sterling 32. Doni 33. Shelvey 34. Kelly 35. Coady 36. Yesil 37. Skrtel 38. Flanagan 42. Gulacsi 43. McLaughlin 45. Sama 47. Wisdom 48. Sinclair 49. Robinson 50. Morgan 52.

Romey 1878 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Take Sahin, Assaidi and Allen out because he didn't inherit them. Those players show my point because he's improving the squad with the players he's bringing in. But yes, I would say it's a pretty bad squad. Apart from Suarez (and maybe Lucas if when he returns he's as influential as he was before the major injury) there aren't really any stand out players. Sterling could be a massive player for them but it's too early to give him such a tag yet. Gerrard would once have been a stand out player but he's on the decline. And then you've got mostly kids fleshing out the squad. Edited November 10, 2012 by Romey 1878 bluehuddo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Other than Agger and Lucas the players in their squad would struggle to get in to most top half team's starting 11. Eg. Newcastle Krul Taylor Agger ?? Santon Arfa Cabaye Lucas Guti Ba Cisse (both scored more than goofy)  Eg.2 Fulham Schwarzer Reither Hangeland Agger ?? Duff Diarra Lucas ?? Ruiz Berba  Not until 10th place that Liverpool's players find their level. Eg.3 WBA Foster Kelly Olssen Agger Enrique Odemwingie Morrison Lucas Suarez Long Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's undoubtedly a good player and I'm sure most teams in the top four would have him on ability but as said His conversion rate is shite if you see how many chances He needs to put one away in most games... Â He's far from world class as many pundits brand him in my eyes and if he wasn't such a cunt and had no media attention for the obvious reasons He'd be less lauded. Â The vast majority of their squad are either average mid table players or unknown quantities at the moment, Lucas has had one good season prior to that He's been shit and the delmbties think He's world class. Â Three or four good players nothing more and if Rodgers is given time Im sure He would put together a good team but thankfully I very much doubt He will be given the time.

Avinalaff Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 His strike rate says otherwise... Â Suarez has 7 goals and 3 assists from 10 games in the league, and 3 cup goals playing for a struggling side. Only Van Persie has scored more with 8, and he plays for the team in first place. I'd say like Suarez or hate him, he is still one of the best strikers and would get in every side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say like Suarez or hate him, he is still one of the best strikers and would get in every side. 3 of those are against Norwich, just like he did last year and still only ended up with 11 for the season, he should be getting closer to 20 but he has the worst conversion rate in the league. Nowhere near enough goals for a striker that the team plays everything through. Put a good ball into the box and he's the last striker I'd want to be on the end of it, waffle foot.

Dalziel Kane Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 However good or talented the kid is, gets invariably overshadowed by his questionable behavior or inability to stay on his feet all to often, I have no time for those kinds of players, who fall over and get all fucking thespian and oscar nominated after being hit with a feather. Â Is he still the best player in the Uruguay side? I don't remember too much about him when they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa, it was mostly Forlan from what I can recall. All said, I think he's an overrated player also. More time needed showing your potential, not falling over, doing stupid dives in front of opposition dug outs and giving yourself a bad name.
