Rodgers has to go. his tactics this season are horrible. he is playing not to lose instead of playing to win. this defeatest attitude is going to absolutely destroy any chance of getting top 4. where is the aggressiveness and creativity up front? no, i don't have a solution as to who should be the next manager, but it's time to start looking and get someone who will at least bring the fun back to the team.

I thought Newcastle deserved the win. Can was a big miss for us, in my opinion. Once we learn how to grind out and win games like this watch out.

okay, this is going to upset some people, but here it goes. I'm more interested in what the Eds think. I do agree that Lallana COULD (emphasis on could) become a superstar under this system. I do agree that the fans need to lower expectations for this season. Top 4 this year? I'm not so sure. Maybe next year. Klopp is brilliant and I believe will become as close to a legend as one can become these days. Football has changed. The days of a manager working his entire career at a club are over. Klopp will leave after his contract is up more than likely. This is a rebuild and this is going to be a process. Some hard decisions are going to have to be made. I do agree with those who say that Sturridge should be sold. He is unreliable. I don't agree that we use that money for immediate return in January. I also agree that we should cash in on Coutinho while we can. I, personally, believe Lallana will be much more effective under Klopp's system. Sell whomever we can afford to sell now and use those funds to buy one or two impact players during the summer. In order to become a more balanced and competitive club we have to build and develop the youth system and suppliment with purchases here and there. It should be up to the manager to determine who those purchases should be. If we blow our load (sorry) on one player, for example, Reus, fine, but understand that any reinforcements have to come from the youth system. What we need right now is continuity. The past two years we have thrown away money mindlesssly at players we really didn't need and essentially have had brand new teams. These days of instant gratification have adversely affected the way the club should do business. I do believe that we can once again become the giants of European football that we once were, but it will take patience and there has to be a process. I have to believe that Klopp laid out a 4 year plan to the owners showeing how to get Liverpool back to the top (he alluded to that when he said that in 4 years we would have a title) . However, to the fans that think it will happen this year is naive and unfair. We can do this without buying the most expensive players in Europe. It isn't about buying the best players in the world, it is about finding the right players for the system, something Rodgers couldn't figure out.
