Brendon Rodgers Becomes A Desperate Man
Thursday, 20th Nov 2014 22:10

If ever a man has blown his reputation in record breaking time its Brendon Rodgers and now he looks to Southampton again to try and save it.

It could be said that throwing the best part of £50 million at Saints in the summer is a big part of the reason that Liverpool have started so badly this season, last season they looked a good side with a good team spirit, a team that played for each other and in doing so won matches.

Some people say that it is the loss of Luis Suarez, but that is the easy excuse, last season Liverpool won the opening five games without Suarez, perhaps the biggest blow has been the injury to Daniel Sturridge but one man doesn't make a team and should not mean the meltdown Liverpool look to be in at the moment.

The real problem though has been Rodgers himself, once he had money he threw out his own blueprint and signed players because he could, rather than because he needed to, thus he signed Rickie Lambert a player that was never going to fit his system and was too old and too slow for it, then Adam Lallana a player that he already had in Coutinho, Lovren was another player he didn't seem to have done research on and he finds himself with a lot of first knock central defenders but not a ball playing one.

So it could be said the core of Rodgers problems seem to be his obsession in signing Saints players, and now seemingly not content with his three failures in the summer from St Mary's he wants more supposedly Nathaniel Clyne and Jay Rodriguez a man who by the time the January window opens will have barely kicked a ball in 8 months.

But Rodgers is desperate and rather then getting back to basics he wants to throw more money at the problem

But will he get any more of our squad, hopeful the answer is no, both Clyne and Rodriguez will probably be better staying put than going to the car crash that is Liverpool at present and the likelihood is that if Rodgers keeps on doing something that is out of his comfort zone then he will keep failing, but desperate men often call for desperate measures rather than keeping calm and trusting in their own tried and tested methods.

So it is no shock to see more of our players linked with a move to Anfield, but the times have changed since last summer and Saints are now in a far stronger position to turn round to Brendon Rodgers and tell him in the spouse vernacular to "Do One La"

Predictive text played havoc on this one, by the way proof read is two words not one. lol

No proofread is definitely one word.

I think the one thing we have learnt from recent events is if a particular player wishes to go and the price is right then let him go...

As Sturridge is out again for a while Brenda should give Rickie a proper run in the side and play him as a old fashioned centre forward. Lambert isn't quick enough to play the normal
Liverpool style but there are plenty of creative players around him so that all he has to do is finish, which we all know he can do if given a chance. This might not suit Brenda's style but he is running out of options.

I have examined the latest Clyne rumour: it orininated from the speculative piece of Jeremy Wilson from the Telegraph. Although the text suggests that he has inside sources, it is pure speculation (2+2=Rodgers). Funny that in 4 hours time the "news" was adopted and well decorated by other media (e.g. adding Morgan to the drama).
As a rule, these rumours spread during the international break - a pure indication that they are fabricated by the press in need of fresh gossip.
The one real thing worth noticing is off-field: the departure of Paul Mitchell.
We should really keep calm and support the Board.

I would differ: one man can make a team! Some player named Matt.....
The press goes on and on about Brenda's "system" but does anyone really know what it is?
