Quietly optimistic about this. A lot of people are comparing it to the Roy Hodgson signing 2 seasons ago, but for me there's a lot more to like about Brendan Rodgers. As opposed to Hodgson's primitive, 'small club' tactics of solid, deep defending followed by long balls to the striker, Rodgers has had this Swansea team playing some fantastic possession based football on their way to great results over some of the league's bigger clubs, the highlight of which being a 1-0 win over eventual champions Man City in March in which they really controlled the game.
I am very interested to see how he transfers this to Liverpool's more talented squad, and can see the likes of Lucas and Henderson (our best players in terms of rapid short passing & recycling possession) benefitting greatly from Rodgers' input. It's just a relief to finally have this sorted, hopefully we now start to see some moves in the transfer market over the coming weeks as I really feel that our squad is only 3-4 top quality signings away from getting firmly back into the top 4. I'd like to see 2 attacking mid's/wingers, a striker and cover for Lucas in that holding midfield postion. Over to you Mr Henry.
