Proper happy they didn't get Martinez, I really like him.  If I was a Liverpool fan I'd be concerned somewhat about the fact Rodgers thought Swansea were still dominating sides in that bad run they had towards the end of the season.  Dominating possession is not equal to dominating the opposition, look at us for example, looked really comfortable apart from the odd Sigurdsson long shot.

 

Looking at Liverpool's squad though I'm not impressed.  Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing in midfield man :lol: and word is they have £30mil to improve, not enough unless they cut their losses on some of the duds.  Still can't believe they p*ssed away so much money last summer.  Wonder where the board are expecting him to finish in the league.

Linked with Joe Allen already.

 

Gentleman's agreement that Rodgers wouldn't go for any Swansea players for 12 months.

 

:lol: can't wait til GG sees this, 'gentleman's agreement'! he'll explode

John Henry: "Brendan's comprehensive football philosophy is perfectly aligned with those at the club and those soon to join the club". I hope this shout means the rumours that the former Barcelona Director of Football Txiki Begiristain is coming in, are true!

This will either prove an inspired move or backfire spectacularly. For me he is a very good manager, good coach and more than competent, but success at Liverpool will be defined by a good start and perhaps fans and media alike lowering their massive standards/expectations. That and the owners too. Top four is surely way out of the reach for them for a good number of years you would think regardless as is the league title itself. What they need is a kind of rebirth if you like similar to our own. I cannot see there being the patience for that to happen though, on and off the stands. They really ought to have went for an established world-class manager. Rafa would have been perfect or even Cappello. Rodgers will be eaten up by Liverpool you feel. That and the kiss of death from Parky :lol:

You're right, he won't be given time because they 'deserve' better. Love how destined to failure this is again, they should have pulled out all the stops to get Rafa back, he would have got nearly as much protection as KKK.

There will be no DoF according to BBC. A technical panel? of four or five will make decisions??

 

That sounds like a compromise. Rodgers wouldn't have wanted to work under the shadow of someone like Van Gaal.

 

I'm not sure how that group would work, especially if they're new to one another. I don't know if it's a model that's been used commonly elsewhere. Plus are you going to attract the best people if they're only going to be part of a group of five?

Oh good, the nonsense about Swansea playing 'attractive stuff' is back.

 

Yeah, their possession-based catenaccio is far from attacking or attractive  :lol: do hate how since Barca came to be top of the world that everyone has become absolutely obsessed with possession.....

 

9 times out of 10 having more posession means f*ck all anyway.
