Liverpool don't pay the same wages though. That said, that Liverpool line up last night should have been smashing through loving Carlisle at Anfield rather than scraping through off some shoddy Carlisle penalties.

PirateBob posted:If that's their excuse, here's an idea: buy half as many wastemen, attract better ones with twice the wages. capex isn't the same as opex though when it comes to running a business. Transfer fees are a one off expenditure and wages are an entirely different kettle of fish. Like I said in the league cup thread, Liverpool's issue is ongoing revenue, one they massively dropped the ball on in the 90s/00s by not upgrading their stadium and capitalising on the Liverpool "brand" when their stock was still high. Now they're in/around league placings that other similarly sized teams like Spurs are, except Spurs can at least offer living in London.

Rafa made so many positive changes to the youth and scouting set up (which Rodgers has benefitted from hugely) and now I feel that's all been undone and we're back to square one again. Were the scouting changes that good? You signed some loving dross under Benitez too.

Ewar Woowar posted:I know it's fun to paint Rodgers out as an inept moron but he played his part in us coming second too. He got the best out of Sturridge (who was fantastic along side Suarez or without him), Coutinho (who had been wildly inconsistent at Inter), and managed to integrate a whole lot of youth successfully (Sterling, Flanagan, Wisdom etc). Coutinho is only 23 and made *checks wikipedia* 28 appearances for Inter over his entire time there, of course a young player struggles for consistent performances if they're not playing consistently with a few injuries thrown in. It's hardly a managerial master stroke that an obviously talented player gets some maturity and consistency to their performances as they age, however that said, take away the occasional wonder strike and he's not been particularly fantastic for Liverpool of late either. Sterling is no longer at the club and Rodgers/Liverpool hilariously mis managed that whole saga, where are Wisdom and Flanagan now? About the only thing you've said there that can really be credited to Rodgers, is Sturridge playing well, but is that going to continue now that when both Sturridge and Benteke are fit, it's obvious Sturridge will go to his most hated of positions, wide right, the reason he left Chelsea? Otherwise Benteke becomes a very expensive bench warmer.

Blue Star Error posted:Flanagan has gone back to his day job starring in the Bash Street Kids  EvilHawk posted:Coutinho was injured a hell of a lot at Inter iirc, so not really going to give Rodgers much credit for keeping him fit. Playing him deeper turned out to be a bit of a masterstroke though. Sterling's situation was mismanaged though, the public nature of the transfer saga and how Rodgers made use of one of his two best players during that run of poor results in the back end of last season. You can't refuse to pay your best players the wages that the clubs you want to be competing with for trophies/league positions will pay them, then sell them on, and then still expect to make the top four at the expense of one of those clubs. Nor can fans be glad Sterling didn't get what he wanted for him to be sold to a club that will finish higher than you this season, then bitch when you're not challenging for the title or even fourth spot.
