Rodgers is domed to repeat Rafa...
The Dippers will be farther away from the Prem title next year when once again, they won't have Champions League football to fall back on. Watch the gap between Man Utd, Chelsea, l'Arse and Citeh grow.

^^I believe, you are sooooooo wrong on this point sir.
In fact, Liverpool is going to challenge for the Premier League title.
Mark it down.
Ahem.

Not convinced Rodgers is top class. He is certainly not close to Wenger, Van Gaal or Mourinho. I would say he is on par with a guy like Roberto Martinez. He has been severely outclassed this year by the top managers.
The last two games were prime examples. Against United particularly he was out maneuvered. I am not collecting a pay check from a Premier League team, but it was obvious to me United's pace with their two wing backs, Valencia and Young, were going to neutralize Sterling and Sturridge on the flanks. A good manager would have played a target player and had at least one, probably Sturridge, if not both of them playing pinched inside behind the 9. Liverpool has trouble doing that because instead of getting a target player to pair alongside those two they bought Ballotelli. A guy who has all of the attributes necessary to be a first class number 9 except his brain is the size of a pea and his ego the size of a small star. With a target player the game would have come down to a battle in the MF where Liverpool is strongest. A MF of Allen, Henderson and Coutinho should never get outclassed the way they have the last two games. Maybe Rodgers grows into his role, but I don't see it right now.
United will be better next year. City and Chelsea have the money to maintain what they are doing. The best I see Liverpool doing in the next 5 years or so is fighting for a Champions League berth.
