Rodgers is quite right in criticising Shearer. Great to see someone call him out for the inane, useless bullshit that he comes out with each week.

I love how the purchase of Joe Allen means that Liverpool fans are now unable to criticise Michael Carrick, without being huge hypocrites.

Pfft, I like Barry but Carrick can make passes Barry doesn't even see and he does everything else equally well on top.

"I saw someone recently criticising Joe Allen for not playing risk passes. Unbelievable. So-called pundits who don't know the dynamics of a team and how it functions, Joe's role is to keep the ball and that, in Britain, is a special talent.


See this is why a lot of people think Rodgers is horrendously arrogant, he's going on about how he understands dynamics when he still hasn't gotten Liverpool firing, he's taken 1 more point from his first seven games, than Alan 'doesn't understand how a team functions' Shearer did from his first seven games in charge of a miserable Newcastle team.

Rodgers is indeed spot on about Allen.

Not seen this mentioned anywhere else, pretty bizarre:

Not sure why it's not come up as a link, but yeah looks a pretty odd technique.

Ha, very odd indeed. There's probably tonnes of weird things managers do to motivate their team. Hopefully he learned some good stuff from Mourinho whilst he was at Chelsea.

Yeah, but Shola's point is valid.

All well and good Rogers mouthing off about how much he knows, but until his philosophy gets him results then there's not a very strong base from him to attack others.

Veteran striker Alessandro Del Piero, the former Italian international now with Australian club Sydney, has admitted he would not have joined Liverpool because of the Heysel disaster in 1985.

The 37-year-old, who spent 19 years with Juve, was linked with a move to Anfield but said: "The negotiations with Sydney were already at an advanced stage and then I thought about what happened at Heysel.

"Juve and Liverpool have worked hard to mend their relationship, but for a lot of people it's something that can never be forgotten."

Nah, I'm fairly sure Brendan Rodgers is in a much better position to talk about the dynamics of a football team than Alan Shearer. Just because he hasn't won a lot it doesn't mean his footballing ideas are worthless. Besides, despite comparatively little success he's achieved and learnt far more about coaching than Shearer ever will.

The Italian FA has informed Liverpool that Fabio Borini has broken a bone in his foot. Their striker shortage has become a crisis.

Yes, but until his achievements rank beyond say those of Tony Pulis, and they don't, sadly. He doesn't really have much of a basis to claim that his way is the right way when playing shit, anti-football hoofball with 11 thugs can get you comparative results.

Of course he can, you're just making little digs at Rodgers now for the sake of it. (And I'm not entirely sure what he's achieved isn't as good as Pullis personally).

Rodgers is perfectly entitled to defend Allen from Shearer's old fashioned, ill-informed opinions. And as far as I'm aware Rodgers hasn't been 'mouthing off' about his philosophy being better than others, he's just got conviction in what he wants from his team - and that's absolutely fine. And he clearly does know quite a bit about football, and the only reason people are criticising him for it is because most other managers don't like to talk about tactics and style of play as much as him. Most others prefer to talk about trivial things like referees and if players are upset.

Tony Pulis got Stoke promoted, got them to an FA Cup final and established them as a solid Premiership team.

Rodgers' has taken Swansea up and secured a comfortable mid-table finish and that is it.

Pulis has been in the game longer, but to say he hasn't achieved more is ludicrous bias.

Rodgers' has proved absolutely nothing at Liverpool, the football might be better, but the results are worse even than Dalglish's. Although he's right that Shearer is clueless, he has to wait until results improve on the pitch before he can state Liverpool's return to form as a triumph of his philosophy. To do it now just makes him seem like a lunatic, it's stuff like that and the picture of him hanging in his own house that lead people to think that he's a bit of a cock.

Rodgers has been working as a coach for over 15 years and into his 5th season as a manager.

Shearer had what 8 games at Newcastle, I dont think he's even done his coaching badges.

What are you talking about? Where is he talking about a triumph? He's constantly preaching patience and that its a long road. And if we do improve and do better then why shouldn't he say its because of his game plan? ITS NOT LIKE HE'S THE MANAGER OR ANYTHING. All the house stuff is bullshit anyway. What a prick for having a picture of himself in his own home that somebody from a charity gave him. How dare he live in a nice house.

I can't help but think people are annoyed at him because he's Liverpool manager. Last season he was always talking about his philosophy and style of play but nobody gave a shit.

Nah, it's mostly because he seems very preachy and 'My way is the definite right way cos I'm great and I know more about football than all of you put together'. His ideas and style of play might be the best ever, but he can't afford to be preaching about it until he achieves a small amount of success
