That one season was a spectacular 68% win percentage. The following season the number was down to 47%. This season, 8 games in, the number drops again to 38%. He presided over a team who, in 2014 had its worst start to a season for 50 years, bookended with the worst defeat in over 50 years in the final game of that same season.

Bottom Half Form
If you look at the last 17 league games (beginning with the home defeat by Man United in March which I am singling out as the beginning of the end) Rodgers won 5, drew 5 and lost 7 of those games – a win percentage of 29%. So in almost his last ‘half a season’ worth of games he collected a measly 20 points in 17 games. Those 17 games, let’s not forget, included the following results:
Arsenal 4 Liverpool 1
Hull City 1 Liverpool 0 (Hull were relegated)
Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 3
Stoke City 6 Liverpool 1 (their goal difference over the previous 37 games was -3 and they’d scored an average of 1.1 goals per game)
Liverpool 0 West Ham 3
Man United 3 Liverpool 1

Extrapolate that 17 game form over 38 games, and it translates to 45 points. In these 17 games – the final 17 of Rodgers’ reign, we scored 17 goals and conceded 28. That’s a goal difference of -11. Translate that to a 38 game season and it equates to 38 goals scored, 63, conceded, for a goal difference of -25.

(For purely comparative reasons, it’s worth noting that last season, Newcastle United finished 15th – their record? Scored 40, conceded 63, a goal difference of -23, and 39 points.)
