Like the way you never admitted Henderson became a better player under BR either. Henderson was shocking under KD by the way.
It's a pointless argument to be honest as any player who did become better your just gonna say they would have done under KD also.”
Nonsense, I said Suarez would've developed his potential under any decent or half decent manager, Rodgers included in the latter group for me. Kenny's second spell in charge was hardly a roaring success either.
Henderson also regressed under Rodgers last season.You can't just give BR praise for getting something out of him two seasons ago.You could say he rode on the coat tails of Suarez,Gerrard,Sturridge and Sterling in that season we finished 2nd. Then went missing last season with Suarez gone,Sturridge injured, plus Gerrard and Sterling looking to leave.
I firmly believe Rodgers blagged his way into the LFC job. He was a flavour of the month appointment after exceeding expectations with Swansea City in their first PL season.Looking back, the Liverpool job was too big for him and we all know how American owners like our own can fall for charismatic management speak.
The football we played in his second season was some of the finest I can remember seeing from an LFC side but ultimately we ended trophyless. He had a big advantage that campaign with no European football and us going out of the domestic cups early on.
