da spicy bet： Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes he is the best man for the job at Anfield. Having lead his side to second place last season, Liverpool are now in fifth and are no longer in the FA Cup, preparing for another season in the Europa League.
da realbet： This has been done despite spending an absolute fortune on new talent last summer. So is he right, or is he utterly delusional?
The Rodgers saga has proved somewhat interesting to watch from an outsider’s perspective this season. He, and Liverpool, have turned into a media fanfare. The ongoing situation with Raheem Sterling has played out massively through media outlets. First, the scenario of supposed ongoing contract talks that spurred on rumours of a potential exit for the youngster began. Sterling has been hailed as one of the players of the season, but can Liverpool really afford to lose another key player?
Losing Luis Suarez at the end of last season was a real blow for Liverpool. And they clearly have not recovered from his departure. Suarez is one of a kind and scored over 30 goals last season, but Rodgers did not even attempt to properly replace him. Signing Rickie Lambert has actually halted his playing career. The last time Lambert started for Liverpool was the beginning of January and he has spent the vast majority of the season on the bench.
The other potential replacement for Luis Suarez was Mario Balotelli. And what a mistake that turned out to be. If anything, the Italian has been a bit of a headache for Rodgers. He’s been in trouble for social media postings, and has not been the prolific goalscorer they had hoped he would be.
They struggled in Europe, they will not be making the top four, and they will not be lifting any silverware this season. How can Rodgers justify spending that much money with such little result? How can he be the right man for the job? Rodgers is somewhat delusional. He needs to be realistic about his future.
Liverpool will only put up with so much for so long. If they got rid of ‘King’ Kenny Daglish, considered a legend at the club, then of course they will let go of Rodgers.
“Look at Tottenham, you spend over £100-odd million you’d expect to be challenging for the league.” Brendan Rodgers has a point. But, he did the exact same thing and is no closer to challenging for the league.
Bit embarrassing, really.
