Im not sold on Rodgers. I do hear great things about him from the press, rival managers and ex players and things like that. He also apparently is very sure of himself, not in a cocky way but he just really believes in himself. He also got Swansea playing beautiful football. But the expectations at Swansea at the start of the season were probably, just try to avoid relegation. Not much pressure for that gig.
At LFC, a whole different kettle of fish. We have expectations and being completely honest we expect to beat every team we play, home or away outside of City, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs. Those games can always go either way. But against every other team and almost every game at home, we go in as favourites. Can Rodgers handle that kind of pressure where results have to come and come quickly.
Also no risk bringing in a bloke for 1 million or on a free. Now he has to scout and sign 10-20 million type players and they have to work. The step up from Swansea to Liverpool is absolutely GIGANTIC.
Swansea believe it or not dont even have their own training ground and facilities. The Swansea players were sharing a private health club with the public. So they had the same changerooms, gym etc as any member of the private club. That's mickey mouse football compared to the facilities LFC offers.
Massive, massive step up. I hope he can handle it. If he gets us playing the way Swansea does, with the obvious upgrade of players then we should go quite well.
