A lot of people were quick to label rafa having problems (failure) at napoli at the beginning of the season. lost 2/3 at the league start, bundled out of CL. guess what, napoli bounce back, 3rd in the league, 5 consecutive games won, napolifc owners are happy with him & offered an extension of another 2 years (Of which rafa declined, something to do about missing his family in liverpool, of course the press quickly jumped in to add fuel to fire)

Bringing in De Boer, koeman, klopp means we are going back to square one (to where rodgers began, that's throwing 3 years down).

I'm in Rodgers camp, i don't quite agree with all his selections for the team, team tactics/strategy is not and no where near to top four (managers) despite almost winning it last season. He will learn, I hope he does for the sake of sustaining liverpool for the long run.
and if hypothetically should rodgers step down, i would like a old liverpool friend we have in rafa. he knows the city, he knows kopites, he breathes and lives like scourser.
writer below is pretty much like you bitebug not exactly willing to give rafa another shot (speaking hypothetically that If)
PRos & cons of having Rafa back

the article above cited Dalglish second spell at liverpool was not a success. While in definition it might not be a fairy tale success, I don't it was a complete disaster at all. technically Lfc won more with dalglish than of rodgers. Yet many have praised rodgers for bringing Liverpool back to the way it used to be. They way we played and all.

There needs to be a better balance in his tactics imo. Right now with a susceptible centre of defence, I don't think 2 wingbacks bombarding towards the front is a good idea when Gerrard is playing the DM role because he simply doesn't have the legs to cope, especially against fast counter-attacking teams.

It's either he plays someone else in the DM role, or partner someone who can do the defensive dirty work alongside Gerrard, or don't push up both wingbacks at the same time. That sacrifices the offence but so far this season even when he overloads on attack, the team still finds it hard to score. So, in short BR has some re-thinking to do to fix the defence and attack as a unit.

Who is going to be the leader of the team? Does Hendo command the respect of the squad enough?

Leaders are trained to make. If you dun put the potential leader to task, how u know he gonna make? Keep playing G with the excuses of needing a leader like him on the pitch is lame. Before G there are other leaders also

Bolasie is a rough diamond, he has several chances thus far.

Gerrard's best days are long gone as evidenced in this half. I have no idea what his job is, I thought he was supposed to be a deep lying playmaker but he keeps creeping upwards instead of hanging back to receive backpasses and spraying them forward.

LVG no balls to drop RVP also.

Calm yo titties guise! More losses to come ! We have 2more games this month

Dun worry...BR will fix this in d next game. He will start Skrtel, lovren and johnson at d back, stick gerrard at DM and play with single big striker up front....no matter what happen.

Who even gives a rat ass's about his diamond anymore?

Bring RB back!

wait, can still win CL  to get new year CL spot (even if qualifier i think)

Who manages the transfer window then and decides which players to buy if it's not Wodgers?
First and foremost, losing your top players is the worst thing that can happen to managers when they are in process of building a club. But this is also a test of mettle for all managers. Seasoned campaigners like Arsene and Fergie had once sold their best players but still manage to rebuild their teams again. Of course, our great Wodgers is even not comparable to these managers.

So, what will you do if you don't have the know how to build a team? Easy, Wodgers bought core players from rival teams (soto) and try to build from there. With the existing team players and the addition of a few big but mediocre signings, he thought he will get by but..... HELL NO.

To build a team, first you must have the ability to retain your top players. These players are your foundation. You don't lose them. If they are whining to leave the club, then something must be very wrong with the management. If FSG can crack the code on why big players are leaving Liverpool one by one, then it's a big step towards rebuilding the Liverpool brand....

For a start, stop surrounding a tiger with a bunch of tabby cats. When you put tigers with tigers in the same cage, only then, the tiger will feel at home. Of course, having said that, you must have a zookeeper who knows how to differentiate between a tiger and a cat.
