Hazard is debatable

But honestly, Rafa's rotation policy makes zero sense

Why did Hazard start in EL and not FA cup? IMO he should have switched with Moses

Why Yossi instead of Marin?

Why does Mata have to start almost every game? If anything we underuse Moses and Oscar

But Mikel starting cannot be argued. Our midfield is garbage. Its why we need modric. Zero ball retention and zero passing

Lampard can shoot and tackle, Ramires is god of making runs and interceptions, but in terms of distribution? We're garbage without mikel

You must be happy with the draw though Nige? If you get through you face Wigan and could easily cause an upset there.

Give it a month (when your outta everything) Redead then the rotation policy will show it's true worth since in the final season run up everyone's gonna be damn near fresh and you should take most games with ease. We had 6 years of it trust me on this one.

No it's not quite that simple. Getting Liverpool back into that sort of shape will take a lot of money. Benitez left them in poor a state before Hodgson and Dalglish turned them into an utter mess. You're acting as if Rodgers took over a side that's on the brink of greatness. Nobody knows what Rodgers would be able to do with big money, so what's the point in saying in what he can't do?

It's also silly going by history and reputations. If we were to base everything on where clubs "should be" then Leeds would still be one of the top clubs in the prem chasing for the champions league places while Wigan would be in the lower leagues.

SAF dropped Rooney midweek in the biggest match of the season.

He dropped RVP today.

It's part of football. Managers do it.

Hahahahahahahah, left them in a mess. My goodness. 2 CL finals. FA Cup. Com Shield. 2nd, 3rd places in the league. Players like Mascherano. Alonso. Torres (when he was good). Kuyt. Agger. Skrtel. Johnson. Pepe. LUCAS LEIVA. Even those kids people love now Suso and Sterling were Rafa players.

Liverpool were in great shape even when Rafa left, aside from Alonso leaving for a crocked Aquilani

And to be honest I'd say BR has had big money....

He spent 25 in this January alone... What manager spends 25 million in a January transfer window?

Joe Allen, Borini, how much? Weren't they about 24 million??

And don't forget the money it took to get Sahin into the club and his wages.

Oh Yohan.

We had finished 7th in the league when we left and just made Europe becuase of the Carling Cup and FA cup finals. Plus like you said he was the reason not only Alonso left but also Mascherano, Yossi and although it doesn't look so bad now eventually Torres. Yeah torres left months after he even even blames the failed promises from the Rafa/Hick/Gillet era for his decision. He did brilliant things for us in his time but the season he left he left us in a pretty bad state.

Plus guys like Lucas didn't really get good until he left. Johson as well is very hit and miss.


Quite a few managers have in the last few years tbh.

Allen was a bump at £15m no doubt. Borini was somewhere around the £10m which wasn't a terrible figure at all for a young striker. Sahin was a bad deal in the end though.
