Liverpool 4, Everton 0: Brendan Rodgers Plays a Blinder

WHAT THE FUCK, IAN AYRE YOU PIECE OF SHIT FSG OPEN UP YOUR WALLETS AND BUY SOME FUCKING PLAYERS BEFORE WE GET RELEGATED AND SHIT AND STUFF AND YEAH.

whoops…wrong thread…what I mean is…uh…good game!

I think Brendan is always give a giant big F everytime we doubt him

January 2013 : Why the fuck he buy selfish studge and an inter reject
Brendan : 27 Goals from 34 apps, and a magical unicorn

Last season: We really lacking goals, possession is overrated, We don’t need top of the league in terms of possession
Brendan : 57 goals to this date

December 2013: we conceded too many goals from set pieces
Brendan : Last conceded from set piece a month ago, vs city (*knock on woods)

Vs Aston villa: Gerrard in the DM is disaster
Brendan : Annihilate Everton

So i think we better keep doubting him. His response is always great, just as after when we are losing, (never lose consecutively, except vs city and chelsea)

Tactical Masterclass
Brendan has shown truly how good of a manager he is. Same playing staff, but totally different set up from the game against Villa. Gerrard really stepped up, but the rest of the team came to play too. On top of his defensive tactical defensive formation, Brendan also showed the complete package in his man management when dealing with Sturridge. A blind man can see the potential, but Brendan knows how to utilize it. He seems to be working with Sturridge’s mentality a lot. If he gets it right, and past examples (Downing, Enrique and others) show he can, Daniel will indeed be a top class European striker as BR believes.

At the end of the day though, what a game. There is a real feeling of change happening. Upwards and onwards boys!

Doesn't it feel like Salah is the type of player we get and Kono is more Chelseaish?
I’m taking it as a good sign that Artur Petrosyan hasn’t declared it a done deal yet. He did perform some hard hitting journalism with this tidbit, though.

Konoplyanka means Common Linnet in English or Carduelis cannabina in Latin. And yeah it sounds funny in Russian too.
— Artur Petrosyan (@arturpetrosyan) January 29, 2014

Common Linnet is a type of finch. A finch is a bird. Finch is also the last name of Atticus Finch. Unlike some other adults in the novel TKAM, Atticus doesn’t drink alcohol, so he probably has a good liver. Liver + bird = Liverbird. Science.
