Klopp time, I hope! Best of luck to Rodgers. Some parallels to the Charlie Weis years here, for me. Rodgers is a strong tactician who just couldn't put it all together as head man. Too much talent to be so bad.

Ooh, the thought of Klopp at Liverpool though ... Rodgers is clearly (imo) trying to emulate Dortmund, but he hasn't been able to get quite the right players. For example, he keeps trying to buy #10s to play the Reus/Mkitaryan role (Lallana, Firmino) and they just don't quite work there. Now...

Whoa. I found it strange that Brendan didn't talk to the media after the League Cup game. This would certainly explain all that ... I feel terrible for the guy. I have to wonder if the fact that he has been going through a terrible divorce has been a factor in his poor performance as manager...

I watched this week's League Cup game last night ... it's getting really old, watching Liverpool dominate possession and somehow fail to create scoring chances (or blow them when they do create them). Rodgers is trying to fit too many round pegs in square holes, using strikers and #10s as...

Agreed on all counts. Despite the poor finish last year, I was a Rogers fan going into the off-season because I figured he was faced with the problem of integrating a lot of new signings and he did a nice job adjusting on the fly by going to that 3-4-3 system or whatever you want to call it...

It's a bit like Charlie Weis at ND. He is bringing in a lot of talent ... where are the results?

Right, what he's doing now I can't necessarily defend, but I think you have to be pretty pleased with the World Cup squad. We were damned close to beating Belgium, which is, what, a top 5 team in the world? (Sure, we needed Tim Howard to break a record to do it, but still ...) And I agree, I...

Fenerbahce is an interesting club. They picked up Van Persie, who may have lost a step but is one of those guys who is always a threat because you can count on him to convert his chances, even if they are few and far between. And they just picked up Lazar Markovic from Liverpool on loan, a...

Gotta be one of the most fun teams to watch in the world.

Lol, ouch on behalf of Reds fans. Yeah, what a draw for Chelsea. They've started poorly, but that draw might help them get on track. Group E looks like the fun group. Leverkusen, Barca and Roma. No idea who BATE is though.

This move was so dirty. Cech equal to it though. Why did this have to be the game where Cech decided to be a goalkeeper again? I would have loved to have seen the Cech who showed up against West Ham.

I read that, and I'm trying not to get too excited. It can't be true, can it? LFC already splashed 30M pounds on a winger this window, and they have a ton of players at that position. Seems like there's just no space for another, as great as Mk is.

Pumped for Reds/Gunners today. Monday football kills my productivity at work but I love it. Also, loving Bundesliga on Fox. Caught some of the Dortmund romp this weekend. It was over a newly promoted team, I know, but still fun to watch. Seems to me what Dortmund has is exactly what...

Yeah, Oscar is one of those guys who has flashes of brilliance, but he has not shown that he can do it consistently yet (in fact he is pretty ordinary more often than not), and that's the challenge for him. It's one of those things where you aren't sure if you are watching a young player who is...

Nice. Shaqiri and Oscar are two of my favorite young players. One of them might make my list somewhere. Btw, how is Shaqiri ending up at Stoke?? Bizarre.

Ooh that is interesting. Just off the top of my head: Neymar Hazard James Pogba Sterling De Bruyne Memphis ... now I'm starting to struggle ... Gotze? Coutinho? (criminally left off Brazil roster for next int'l break) Verratti? I feel pretty good about those top 6 but then it gets tougher ...

Right, he's like a lesser Suarez. Doesn't have Suarez's pure genius but he does have his motor and his ability to seemingly will goals to happen through sheer desire. Still, definitely not a top 10 player for me. He might make my top 15, maybe.

He's one of those guys whose looks belie his effectiveness. He doesn't look like a scary athlete up there, a la Benteke or Lukaku, for example; he looks like he might be your accountant. But man is he effective.

Aren't they up a goal going into the second leg? I wouldn't be heartbroken, even giving up two away goals, although a two goal lead with only one away goal conceded would have been great.
