Bunch of wankers by default m8.Nobody uses metric when talking about size or distance in the UK.
Unless they're a WANKER
Pls evolve to full metric.
And to Euro currency.
And to right-hand driving.

Despite relatively similar issues. Arsenal are by far more primed to become an elite team in Europe again than liverpool (current players, youth team, finances etc). So I'd say Klopp at Arsenal...
Also I understand what Joe Allen was bought in to do and I part of me felt he was capable of doing it. You cant really be angry Brendan for that can you

Allen was bought in to play in and become the metronome of a system which we thankfully abandoned after Rodgers' first half-season.
If he's not in a team whose MO is spurning attacks in favour of recyling possession over and over again, he's not contributing enough.
The time has come for Can to be given a run in the team surely.

I'm sorry Hitcher but the computer says no.
that's a questionable assumption unlikely to be backed up with solid evidence.
much like the committee leaks from earlier, this is a tidbit of suspicious provenance. why even have a committee if they will all.be overruled by a model? would Rodgers, or heck even ayre, work under such a system?
what i would imagine is more likely is a misunderstanding of the committee taking place. I'm pretty certain that the head of statistics is on the committee and thus has a say. what probably happened is a transfer or several the deciding vote came down to the stats man, giving the appearance of it being a computer decision when there were multiple people opting for a no.
now, even if it were true we still urgently require extra details - namely what players were blocked, what were accepted. for all anyone knows the model is blocking plenty of even worse signings.
as to whether it is in good hands, well there is still much to discover. i do know that ian graham is very skilled in this area, but there are distinct issues with player predictive statistics. there are a host of problems in this area,which i won't go into right now. at least in terms of publicly known stat stuff, player predictions are still pretty poor, but once again we can't know what Liverpool themselves are actually doing

But why did it say yes to buying him in the first place?
Why did it say yes?
I need my Can fix.
bollocks. If someone tells me that such-and-such is x kilometers away I'm going to blank the fucker and walk on and find someone who speaks SENSE.

OMG I've missed one of the best Brenton quotes ever:
Brendan Rodgers when signing Joe Allen: "He is 5ft 6ins but in terms of being a footballer he is 7ft 6ins. Hes absolutely immense."
\
Brendan has some amazing quotes
We play with 11 men, other teams play with 10 men and a goalkeeper.
So that explains Brad Jones then. He's not actually a goalkeeper at all.

That's such a weird one. Like, I get what he's saying and it fits with his supposed philosophy, but why in the name of sweet fuckery did we buy Mignolet if he's so focussed on playing it out from the back?
"Defending is easy"
Carragher and Neville proceed to rip apart any notion that Brendan actually practices any defending in his coaching.
As funny as this may seem, it might be that bad an idea. lool

He said defending is easy when you fill you have 10 players within 18 yards of your goal iirc

Joe Allen is a legend. Better midfielder than Matic, according to Liverpool fans last year.

And he doesn't even do that!
My favourite is still this one though:

Why would we?
Dissonance, you've said that about Matic/Allen before, yet you still haven't provided a single quote to that effect, even from RAWK

Heh.
To be fair, I didn't know it was actually not Brendan, it just sounded remarkably like the quote could've come out of The Office.
Sneaky Shatner.

TBF, Brent, Brendan, who cares, they all sound like the same person to me.
"When people say to me: would you rather be thought of as a funny man or a great boss? My answer's always the same, to me, they're not mutually exclusive."
Yea, I don't know who you are, or who do you support but you are going on the ignore list.

Only because Peps brother is his agent. Legit tactics to squeeze out more at Liverpool.
