We were 8th when Rodgers joined.. we're on course to finish 5th this season.
expected more after last season but it is an improvement.
We have a massive ground upgrade to complete, contend with FFP and face four clubs with more resources and better squads.
Don't really know what's expected of rodgers in this situation really.. moreso given he is an inexperienced manager compared to those at the clubs above.
Exactly red the lad is full of rubbish siad he'd been to every FA cup game but then couldn't call the non existent line to get one
My mate got 2 tickets one on each fan card, we only had home FA cup ties and one away of them (Bolton) and he got them online that Saturday morning when they went on sale with little fuss.
OP is full of waffle

How do you know how much I paid for the semi-final tickets ?
Unless you were one of the ones lucky enough to have enough games on their membership AND called into the Ticket line in time you would have paid over the odds for tickets. I had enough games and according to the LFC.TV site I was 'guaranteed' tickets I fell short as they were sold to others. So... keen to support my team as ever I went to KIX and paid £252 per ticket (well worth it then, and I would still pay it again) and bought two of them.
So don't tell me what I did or didn't pay... you numpty.
-------
See now I know you're talking total crap.
guaranteed tickets and calling into the ticket line and Lfc.tv .. that's what you said right?
A few things..
Tickets were still on sale for those that had 2 fa cup matches on their membership. That's what I had, even though I was not in the "guaranteed tickets" allocation I got them due to availability.. Yes tickets were available. So that's blag number one. If you were guaranteed tickets you would have got them.
As for the calling the ticket line - that's blag number two, you had to get them online.
It's liverpoolfc.com and has been for years. - that's blag number 3
You're a blagger, a charlatan, and found out.
Cheers

I was guaranteed tickets but I did not get them. I was too late, went past the dates they were for sale and they were sold out. Two tickets from KIX purchased.. Entrance G, Block 103, Row 14, Seat 36 & 37.
The Ticket Line confirmed to me the on-line auction details AND that I was too late.
LFC.TV is a domain Liverpool own and resolves to the same platform as the one you reference. Try it for yourself.
I suspect the reality is this will be a pointless ongoing debate that'll achieve nothing... just like those striving to liberate a piece of middle-eastern scrub-land.

You are talking far too much sense for the numpties on here mate. They think that if you don't win the league you are a fraud.
Chelsea spent a billion and finished outside the top 2 last season.
City spent nearly a billion and will probably finish outside the top 2.

What effing online auction are you talking about?
Tickets were still on sale on Thursday, too late and calling the ticket line indeed!
You've been found out, so no point in trying too hard now.
Your persona on here is a sham.

Sigh, I rest my case. Ticket details provided and still you persist.
I'll give you points for tenacity, but none for the strength of your arguments.
So, come on then, this 'free Gaza' pantomime, is this another one of your crusades, no pun intended.?

If you had said we would have been back in the CL and then out again I would not have taken it myself if I am honest, regardless of the cup semis.
Because my expectation would have been to definitely be in the top 4 3 years into Rodgers' reign.
But expectancy isn't tangible.
can anyone give a justifiable reason we should be in the top 4 ahead of Chelsea, City, United or Arsenal?
With the 4th highest wage bill and nearly 2 decades into the managers reign it's not them. The other 3 make us look like paupers.
So what's the reasoning behind the expectation?

Bottom line to me, if when he was appointed you'd said after 3 years we'd have been back in the Cl, two semi finals and get the closest to the the title in 25 years, I'd have taken it. He deserves one more year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well put.
I was replying to Great's post therefore expectation being intangible, while true cannot really apply here, can it? I could have said the same thing to great, that expectation is not intangible.
It's a horrible season and there are some big question marks in certain areas, but still think expectation about where we 'should' finish and who we're able to attract in the transfer windows is bordering on deluded.
All I am saying is that if offered the status quo 3 years ago when Rodgers was about to be appointed, I would not have taken it personally.
Its not just about where you finish alone. Its also about how you go about finishing wherever it is you finish.
United have been mediocre for most of the season.
We should have finished above them IMO.
Yes they have spent a lot of money but when you look at their actual performances, likely points total despite no cup football and how badly they started the season I really can't see why as a club we couldn't have finished above them.
A combination of bad management and bad signings set us behind them, not because they spent more money and overtook us with a style and quality that we couldn't possibly compete with.
We took advantage of their instability without Ferguson for 1 season only, and that is a big failure of the club IMO.
We missed the chance to really give ourselves a chance of regular top 4 position.
Feck me R1 that is so spot on.
Yes but they do have three or four world class players and we don't. They have literally the most expensive and highly paid squad in history.
It's about players and you can be damned sure BR wanted Willian, Costa and Sanchez.
Yes they have a better squad than we do, but in the context of the season thats irrelevant considering most of those 'better' players have been utter shiite for large periods.
Utter shíte but have delivered more goals and assists than ours by virtue of being individually very gifted.
It's about players.
If we did have Sanchez and Costa would we be above them? I think so. Doesn't make Rodgers any better or worse a manager.
They individually gifted players last season and finished 7th.
