floyd__streete This time last year we were playing stupefyingly dull sideways football with a stronger squad than we have now and we were in the bottom 4. I'd say that McD has done an adequate job with the absolute paucity of resources available, certainly he has done better than Rodgers absymal spell at the helm. Anything else is supposition and revisionism.
Rodgers didn't know what he was walking into and was given one set of objectives when he took the job and another just months later on totally different timescales. As for dull sideways football, I quite enjoyed us building moves and could see the promise in what might have been achieved - unfortunately some fans didn't see it that way and would rather see us lump the ball aimlessly forward at every opportunity. Then again that's the main problem with English football, many don't appreciate the need to build moves from the back, retain possession and make the opposition work, which is why we've won sod all for over half a decade as a national team and our continental adversaries continue to dominate (it's also why Swansea are pushing for promotion and we're going nowhere).
