Anyway, I thought you would like Rodgers since he is a student of the Spanish game. Pretty sure he would do anything to be Pep for a day.
It's not about Rodgers, and I'll admit, I haven't been following closely, as I've been lulled into non interest from Rafa's waning years and the subsequent further nothingness. Whether Rodgers is a Spanish game disciple or not, is not important, I just feel they're in a big sleep. Again, it may be, that he's got a great hole to get out of, and better someone who is local. I don't know. All I see is the 'being Liverpool' BS, and I can't glean from that what his style is. That said, maybe the Spanish style is not right going forward.

Then again, what is the Spanish style? Attacking and defending in the contrary's side is something which can be done a myriad of ways.

We're already seeing morphs.

I mentioned the other day, If I was MCFC... I'd dump Mancini and hire Rafa... He would have them competing in Europe from day 1

You mean like how Barça under Tito plays differently than Barça under Pep?

Previous ownership did their best to put the club in a pit. And the new owners haven't done much as of yet to separate themselves from the previous wanks.

The Being Liverpool is something I hate. Gimmicky bullshite by American owners to gain market presence.

If Rodgers' time at Swansea is any indicator, the Spanish style seems like it can work, especially if LFC can get back into Europe (the ultimate prize, as Rafa showed - European results > league results (it's a shame really)). He has essentially deployed a 4-5-1 so far, and we continue to be linked with more midfielders than forwards. He wants to mimic what Pep has done. The only problem is 1) the money has dried up and 2) our midfielders can't find a way to score.
