We press high up the pitch to win the ball and score from quick counters. Do you think Balotelli has the workrate to battle for the ball? To you think he'll sprint to get in a good position? Every game I've seen from Balotelli he's always lazy and caught offside many times. Not gonna fly in a team like Liverpool that wins from matches from industry rather than individual magic (bar coutinho). Coupled with his average goalscoring record, I'm not expecting big things. I don't expect he'll score more than ten this season. 

I'm not against signing Balotelli because at the very least he'll bring some laughs into this team which always lets you down.

You don't think Rodgers will have thought about all this? I have faith in the man, considering what he's done with us over the last 2 years. If Rodgers has gone ahead and decided to sign him, then he believes Balotelli will fit our system.

Just you wait. He's going to be brilliant. His agent has come out and said it's last chance saloon for him at a big club. Make or break. Balotelli is going to grab it with 2 hands, IMO.

Balotelli will smack in at least 15 league goals, hopefully the majority in front of the adoring Kop.  

Liverpool got 12 penalties last year, that's at least 12 for him guaranteed mf.

Fuck off with this faith in Rodgers shit.

He's won 0 trophies, he had the league at his mercy and bottled it with shit tactics against Chelsea and Palace. Sure lets push everyone forward in a game where we only need a draw against a weakened side. Next game he tried to make up a ridiculous GD the put control of the title which first off is insulting to Palace, and second, cost two points which took all pressure of City to perform in the last matchday due to only needing a point.

Rodgers is a novice manager. When I start to see some trophies I'll change my mind.

u fookin wot m8 lol

scoring goals this season won't be a problem for us, our real problem is getting a defensive mid in.

And will it be a problem for us without Alexis?

Do you not know what "at least" means?

Even so, our goal difference was ridiculous last season. It was +51

Arsenal's? +27.

That means we could have scored 23 goals less, and still have had a better goal difference than you, so Mario scoring 15 is more than enough.

The best part?

It's still only the beginning.

It's easy to see what he's trying to build here, and we are starting to see it come together. We have been seeing it for the last year and a half and we're only going to get better with the additions we've made this Summer.

So Rodgers bottles it if he doesn't get the team to defend and is insulting for getting them to attack? Make your fucking mind up  

The Chelsea game was going well until Gerrard slipped. It's solely down to him we didn't win the league not Rodgers.

I remember you being similarly negative about our top 4 prospects, about halfway through last season. How did that turn out?

The fact is, Rodgers has transformed us in just 2 years. Do you think that's easy? No, it's a crazy achievement. We were a solid 6th-8th team for like, 3 years straight, ffs. Look back at what we were like during Rafa's final season, Hodgson's stint and Dalglish's clusterfuck. Look back at signing the likes of Konchesky, Poulsen, Carroll, Downing, etc.

And then look at us now. He got us back into the Champions League. Something we've not been in for 3-4 years!

If you can't appreciate what a tremendous difference Rodgers has made in just 2 years, then you're just fucking thick.

The best part?

It was his tactics that put Gerrard in that position. Why you would ever play a player who has a penchant for gifting crucial goals to the opposition the deepest is beyond me. But Gerrard can shoulder a lot of the blame as well for his performance after the goal.

Why would he? It's pretty much done. He's been photographed in Liverpool training gear.

I appreciate what he's done but he's not really done anything to earn the unrequited faith of the fans. Fact is he got a champions league in a season where every other top team was trying its hardest to not win the title until City cleaned up their act in the final stretch of games. 

I don't want him sacked or anything, he hasn't done anything to warrant it as the club tries to wade out of the pool of mediocrity it has become. But this faith think is total bullshit, you and everyone else will turn on him when the results start going south.

Dagbon wrote:That's bullshit, a good manager should adapt his tactics to what the situation calls for. Those 11 previous games were must wins, the 12th needed just a draw. Set up the team accordingly. Especially against a team like Chelsea which did exceptionally against all the top teams last season, and only lost the title due to dropping too many points against minnows.
