Dispensing 'legends' as easy as giving candy's to little girls ?
Last season there were doubts of BR's calibre. No doubt, this season he has release some shackles and allayed some doubts of his of his technical naivety. (Remember 4 centre backs? amongst his gaffes?)
As couple of forumers pointed out (which is clear to see) as least BR does adjust, not overly stubbornly enforce something that 90% won't work. Sure he will still stumble along, as in any other manager do. Just we look forward to lesser heartaches
Rodgers has something unlike some other managers, which would be the reason why FSG has indentified & chosen him as manager.
Even Joe fagan is not exactly regarded that as to be labelled as 'legend' (help deliver Liverpoolfc a European cup, English league title (now called premiership).
BR hasn't help win anything for Liverpool yet, no doubt we have encouraging signs amongst the grapevine that perhaps Liverpoolfc are really on an upturn. Let's stay grounded.
Legend? No lar, notchet . candidacy as legend, perhaps in the making.
I was joking la bro LOL. It is just that it rhymes. legend - religion - dungeon
Guys, since I am not allowed to be home till May, why dont we have a gathering in May? Last match of the season perhaps.
Depending on where we are by then.

Luis Suarez Have Signed a 200-225k a week Deal until 2018 - Freaking big news this morning... - Delighted but worried
The Worried Part Guys it happen so fast. Don't u think there is problem? The main talking point is not the salary increased but there should b an exit clause inserted into the new contract paving into Suarez to signed. There is still no clue where how much is the exit claused but should b at least in the region 60mil which i think is fair. Of coz 80mil is what we can hope but we gonna be realistic. Furthermore Bale did board to plane to Madrid after signing a renew contract with spurs earlier. So down jump around ok? He's safe with us until end of 2014/15 summer at least.
The Delighted Part - Means he will stay for another 1 1/2 season with us at least. U never know. - But the positive is ... 1st - if He doesn't think we r capable of top 4 finish o challenging title..do u think he would signed. 2nd - Is to believed that FSG has promised to suarez that substantial will b make available to BR to strengthen in January & in the summer. Else..i dont think he will signed. 3rd - I believe he know we r heading the right direction & he has become more happy on the pitch ever before. 4th - His signings really give a big boast to the squad heading the defining weeks of our season.
Liverpool 4 the Title? Is a big ask but i do believe if we do win the 4match schedule to play starting form this week to new years day. We r..Yes we r. 12points may seem difficult to achieve but getting 9/12p may not be a bad idea. Guys..we gotto b positive. I didnt give us a chance against spurs due to our record against them is worse than against chelsea & city. I was think they r our bogey team. Finally 1 match the fear is over! It really give us the boast at the right time. That's football. Like Spurs & arsenal...they have their up against us & city but they didnt take the chances. Once we r ahead..there we go. We have never won this season is we fell behind 1st. If we scold 1st each and very game until end of the season is a 70/30 probability that we will win the game. Don'y pls dont wear our 1st away strip anymore this season. the pass 4 times wear, we lose all games played. We won 2 out 2 if i'm not wrong wearing the 3rd kit.
We need to Strengthen in we want to Win the League this Season Here's the list (On the radar/talk on going) Rightback - Montoya @ 6mil o "Summer Free" CM - Alonso "Summer Free" - Diego "Summer Free" - Koke @ 15-22mil AM - Julian Draxler @ 15-20mil Rodgers flew to Gelsenkirchen to watch Schalke beat Basel and progress to the last 16 of this season’s Champions League - 'Egyptian Messi' Mohamed Salah @ 10-15mil
CF - Valmir Berisha..Dubbed the 'new Zlatan Ibrahimovic'. Score a Hattrick against Argentina in the recent Under-17 World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
Liverpool Vs Cardiff - Rodgers should rest a few player for this game in view keeping them fresh during the christmas period - Else 60min changes..
Line-up - Mignolet - Johnson (Kelly) - Toure - Agger - Cissokho - Allen - Lucas (Rossetier) - Henderson - Coutinho (Alberto) - Aspas/Moses - Suarez
How we Pan Out? - Due to uncertainty of cardiff..we should put them to bed as early as possible. We need to show our true title credential & if we win big tonite..it will ultimately strike fear into city hearts that this Liverpool can b taken lightly. Yes..city is great in attack but in defensive they r not the strongest. If we can play like we did with spurs..we can beat anyteam. Get back to cardiff. Dangerous thru set-piece else manageable. This will mark Suarez out of the game so others must up their game.
Predict... Goin for a hard fought 3-0 win. Confidence is sky high. If we score 2nd in the 1st half then 4-6 is in the cards. Else happily to win with a 2/3 - 0 scoreline.

The last match would determine the outcome of the league standing, due to the fact that Dillon came back to Malaysia, it jinx the team, and made Liverpool lost the match to Newcastle, in the end, Liverpool lost the league title to another team in just one game, and its the last game of the season.
Fantastic news with Suarez putting pen to paper. Even if he does force a move, clubs will have to pay over the top for him. Credit to Rodgers and FSG. They handled the whole situation perfectly. They refused to budge when the forward wanted out and when Arsenal made an offer. Rodgers showed him who's boss by having him train alone clearly sending a message that no player is bigger than the club. He has since led the team into a Champions League contention which is an amazing feat considering the state we were in just last season, amidst more illustrious managers. Rodgers has always had my backing and I'm hoping he'll be the one to deliver the holy grail, cementing himself in Liverpool folklore. Credit also to the fans for sticking by Luis.
Cardiff City are in disarray at the moment and I feel for McKay although I'm not surprised with his treatment. The Tan's have a blemished reputation when it comes to the way they treat their staff and business partners. He isn't doing much to win the fans over, least of all with his fashion sense. If we play to our ability, we can expect a convincing victory but I don't want to jinx it. Could be one of those matches where we pepper their goal but contrive to hit the post 30 times and they score with their only opportunity of the game. This however seems unlikely especially given the buoyant mood amongst the players and supporters with Suarez committing his short term future to the club. The contrasting atmospheres at both clubs couldn't be more stark. The players however may be fired up to give McKay a stay of execution. Having said that I don't think they have the quality but you never know. Hit then hard and hit them fast.
The signal of intent from FSG, is very important, the very fact that the contract that LS extended, is a new pay record at the club indicate that Liverpool is NOT a selling club, not like Arse nor Spurs... Of course the extension would cover the ability of the club to compete and ultimately CL..but as BR emphasized earlier, he is not here to be 2nd or 3rd, but the aim is alwiz to win titles... and I am sure Suarez dont sign because of pay rise only without knowing the club's ambition. The payscale for Suarez is also an indicator that the club owner recognized top talents, and is not afraid to pay for them if the potential player can improve the current squad
If you look at the big pic, FSG knew that the team is ready to compete and probably need maybe 2 top talents to complete the jigsaw...if we can attract and strenghten 1 each in the midfield and attack, then overall outlay of investment is not too huge perse...of cos they had invested heavily during KK's time, but it is relative to the overall budget and the sort of achievement we looking at...I have my suspicion that if we succeed with Mikthryan and Costa, we wouldnt be able to strengthen the defense, but with both deal fell thru, we strenghten heavily in defense, which leaves the midfield and attack as the area of focus, which i am sure is what BR is looking into...

Suarez said: ‘It’s nice because when you extend your contract, you extend it because you want to stay here for the future. I signed not only for two-and-a-half more years, but I signed for a long time to stay here and I am so happy. ‘The first dream for me is to play in the Champions League with Liverpool.
‘It’s my hope and my dream. I think when we have very good players, we can try our best at the Premier League. ‘Brendan Rodgers was very important. When you have the confidence of the manager, you can try your best. In the dressing room I am so happy. I don’t have problems with anyone. ‘We have many big players but in the dressing room they are all nice people and they are funny too. This is important. I love the city and the supporters. They help me and I try my best on the pitch for them.
‘The summer was a difficult time but they helped me to come back and play.’
