Rodgers Sacking and the Liverpool 'assets'

[Notned]

So it was coming, and not before time many will add.

My question is, how does it affect the appeal of some of their players as FPL prospects?

I'd imagine part of it is a reaction to the pressure Mourinho is under, to try and ensure Klopp isn't snatched from under their noses. The squad isn't great on paper, granted, but Klopp would probably improve it's potential ten-fold..

Does Rodgers and his nonsensical tactics leaving bring any players back on the radar (Benteke?) or make you second guess removing any (Gomez?), or is it a case of as you were?

[Carlos Kickaball]

I think it puts questions marks over some players selection, perhaps even the majority.

I'm surprised it's gone this way, as in Ings and Milner I think he brought in some solid characters into the dressing room and Benteke is a proven Premier League striker. I've backed Liverpool fairly heavily in FPL this season, and it hasn't gone brilliantly, let's just see who the new manager is before we conclude what will happen.

[Mav3rick]

All a bit of a reset really. The likes of Coutinho and Sturridge should be safe. As for the others, well who knows at this point!

[blahblah]

The usual idea is to sort out the defence, so Mig - but not a clue which defenders will be playing.

The big problem is the lack of a cohesive plan re the 1st XI and back up players, with a lack of like for like replacements - and I don't mean mediocre for mediocre before any wag gets in the easy gag.

[Stemania]

Bad news for Moreno I'd say. Any new manager is probably fairly unlikely to persist with 343.

Could put Benteke back on the radar though. Let's all hope for Klopp, he would be a great addition to the league.

[Carlos Kickaball]

I've got Clyne, surely he is the one of the defenders who should be nailed?

Whether he's worth 5.5m is more my worry at the moment.

Yes, Clyne should be considered first choice by any new manager I think.

[blahblah]

He might be a bit short for Allardyce?

[gallus]

Maybe Gomez owners should wait a week or two before they get rid, Moreno is not a natural defender.

[Mav3rick]

I think that's more realistic that Klopp tbh

[Mav3rick]

Maybe Gomez owners should wait a week or two before they get rid, Moreno is not a natural defender.

I think that's a fair point, but Gomez is also not a natural left back. I think I would put off a hit and cross my fingers, but if I had no other pressing transfers then a switch still looks sensible.

[Notned]

That's what I was getting at, really. Made me second guess the rush to get rid.

[blahblah]

Being serious: I wouldn't be surprised if Roman got Klopp in this week.

Then it is Ancelotti, or Jose from the top table - unless I have forgotten someone.

After that who is there?

(And guess who sold Gomez this GW.)

[RussellFC]

Hearing rumours it'll be Ancelotti

Well he doesn't look close to dropping anyway, so maybe can be left for a little while, to give any injuries in the international break a chance to take precedence first.

Planning on swapping Skrtel out of my team. Poor form and tougher fixtures coming up, it's time to go.

[Gambit]

Rodgers is a clown, the sacking will benefit most Liverpool players, the only possible concern would be those with Sturridge or Benteke, not sure they would work as a pair. But I suppose that would have been a problem whoever is manager.

[Arseshavin]

Moreno > Gomez

[gooberman]

Bad news for Moreno I'd say. Any new manager is probably fairly unlikely to persist with 343.

Benteke has never been off the radar. He's only not playing because he's injured.

[gooberman]

I have a few fires I need to put out in my defence, Gomez being one of them. Was planning on selling him this week and I'm not gonna change that plan just because Rodgers has gone as I don't see the new manager picking him either.

It surprised me that he was being being selected ahead of Moreno and even Enrique at the start of the season. He may have promise but he doesn't seem quite ready yet at this level and has looked dodgy.

[Hotstepper]

Lallana? Can in midfield?

[Subsonic]

The majority of Rodgers signings should be wary of any new manager, in particular:- Milner, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno, Llanana,Can, and Henderson. All of limited ability and bought for vastly inflated prices. None would attract the fee they were bought for.Goodbye and good riddance.

[Rich2086]

Probably the British players that will lose out

[umistboy]

Henderson was bought by Dalglish not Rodgers

[Subsonic]

My mistake, but Kenny didn't make him the captain. In fact, Rodgers wanted to use Henderson as a makeweight to sign a Fulham striker a few years ago but he refused to go so he could remain on the same money. He is crap.

[NoEyeDeer]

Some may disagree with me, but they need to bring in a non British foreigner who is arrogant enough to adopt and play their own style and not feel pressured to play the 'English way'.

The game has evolved to far for that these days.

Hodgson, ol' Kenny, Rogers. See a pattern?

They need a title winning manager who knows how to win, not a manager who previously managed lower level clubs who played to grind out results in an attempt to ensure PL safety (ie. Hodgson's Fulham and Roger's Swansea).

Until then all Liverpool players are permanently banned from my team starting with a Coutinho to Mane transfer right now!

Kenny didn't make him captain because he was a young unproven kid when he signed him, and regardless of that, no one was going to be made captain whilst Stevie was still around.

I was never a huge fan of Henderson, but the last two seasons he has matured and improved out of sight.

The only Liverpool player who can claim to of consistently improved each season.

Sadly that can't be said for much of their squad.

James Milner has been a consistent player in two title winners as well as the England national team. He isn't a star, but there is not enough talent in the Liverpool roster to keep him from starting the majority of the time. Who are you going to play in central midfield? Joe Allen? Come on.

I would guess Coutinho, Sturridge, Milner and Henderson will be common starters with whomever comes in. Skrtel too, simply because Lovren is shit (I would start Sakho but he does have some limitations too). Clyne is also far superior to his competition so should be a shoe in. The rest are up in the air IMO.

As opposed to a British foreigner?

Hodgson, ol' Kenny, Rogers. See a pattern?

Sign him up!
