Just as importantly, LFC under KD did not play the kind of ball that BR plays which is more passing oriented and requires greater technical skill. In my opinion, it is this style and the addition of technically gifted players like Sturridge, Coutinho and Sterling that made Suarez so successful last year. Moyes had Manu** playing ugly football which ultimately, anyone could see would never pay dividends. I don't see that as the case with Rodgers.
As far as I'm concerned, BR has proven that he can compete. What he still has yet to prove is whether he can put together a long term, sustainable title challenger (e.g. like X's team City, but for £100/year less in wages). I place less importance on cups as they are a lottery in many ways, but the upcoming clash with Chelsea in the league cup is important for his confidence for for silencing the silver-crazed simpletons.
As far as I'm concerned, the jury is not out on Rodgers, but as with all managers, he has to perform. The jury however, is debating the methods and the madness of FSG - I am not sure they are the right owners in an age where football success requires availability of unlimited funds.
Unbelievable.
