COMPARISON. It is in the very fabric of football to compare things. How does one player compare to another? How does one team compare to another? And how does one season compare to another?
In fact, competition is always about comparison. When teams measure themselves against each other the result provides the answer as to which team is superior. The rest in between is a mixture of conjecture and analysis. So 12 months on I wondered how we compared to last season.
After reading a highly enjoyable statistic that we have had 39 points after 27 games for the last 3 seasons, I decided to do my own examination as to how we measure against last season’s performance.
I am not as keen on the ‘after this many games we had this many points last season’ as a valid form of analysis. It’s all well and good having the same number of points but if the remaining fixtures are Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Everton away, well the current points tally doesn’t really make a genuine comparison.
So I have looked at the like for like results for LFC this season against the same opposition last season and there are some very interesting results. Of course, I have had to manipulate the results slightly as the same teams don’t compete in the Premier League every year. So, I have swapped the bottom 3 from last season with the newly promoted sides.

It is fair to say that by looking at the same 27 matches from last season and comparing them to this season there is a startling result. Liverpool have amassed 9 more points against the same opposition this season than they did last season. In the 27 games last season Liverpool took 30 points compared to the 39 points Liverpool have taken this season. Interestingly, we have secured 14 points at home and 16 points away against the teams we have played this season. This season has seen us almost equal the away performance with 15 points being harvested; which means that 10 additional points have been plundered at home.
It was acknowledged last season that home form had not been good enough and Brendan Rodgers has clearly wasted no time in addressing that problem so far this season.
Liverpool’s defence has appeared to be a problem this time round and indeed Rodgers’ charges have conceded 4 more goals against the same opposition. However, that is counteracted by the staggering 21 more goals Liverpool have managed this season in the same fixtures. Given how much fans have pined for extra firepower this season (until Sturridge arrived) that fact is truly remarkable.
The improvement across these games means that Rodgers’ reds have amassed an extra 0.33 points per game in these fixtures. If the same improvement holds out until the end of the season Liverpool will finish with 64-65 points some 12 or 13 points improvement on last season’s performance. So while our final league position could well be very similar to last seasons, our points haul would actually be much closer to Champions League standard.
If Liverpool repeat their results of last season, then they will finish with 61 points. While this is hardly a ground breaking haul, it is an improvement nonetheless.
So while it may well seem that the team is performing at a similar level to last season, it must be said that Rodger’s has actually brought an improvement to results, especially given we have already scored more goals than we managed in all of last season.
Rodgers may have his work cut out to convince fans that he’s the right man for the job but if he can make another improvement in results next season, he could well silence some detractors.

Stats and all are fine , but the FACT its missing is that last season we got to Wembley 3 times , winning a trophy
Chop and change the teams around , mess around the stats any way you like , it doesn’t change the FACT that this season has been an embarrassment and a disaster
Not acceptable for LFC
@Geoff
So last year the complaint was that we should improve in the league and that trying to get top 4 was more important than trophies. Now it is that we should win more trophies? Ok then.
Yawn.
No. Fact is that just getting to Wembley means nothing unless you’re a small club looking for a day out. Winning trophies matter, but the League Cup will hardly attract CL quality players, so 4th in the league is a lot more important, like it or not. Case and point Bradford vs. Swansea in tomorrows final. They wouldn’t be there if the big clubs prioritized the League Cup. Fact.
We will almost certainly finish higher in the league than last year. Fact.
We will almost certainly amass more points than last year. Fact.
We will almost certainly finish with a better GD than last year. Fact.
We have already scored more goals than last year. Fact.
We are playing better and more entertaining football than last year. Fact.
No manager in the world will go from 8th to 1st in one season, even if we had a Man City size transfer budget. Even 8th to 4th is a huge stretch. All we can ask for is progress, which means getting more points than the previous year and finishing higher up the table and closer to CL spots. Then build on that next year, which means keeping the staff and system intact, and not firing the manager every year.
We have finished 7th, 6th and 8th with three different managers the last three seasons. Unless Arsenal or Spurs collapse, we’re probably on course for 6th this season, considering Everton’s form and our remaining fixtures. To call 6th an embarrassment and a disaster considering the last three seasons is borderline retarded. Fact.
ha ha ha ha ha
Talking total rubbish . Rodgers is a JOKE – progress is a figment of your imagination . You live in land of pixies
… and thats a FACT _ LOL
you MUST be retarted redted . Do u know what fact means ? lol ?
fact is something that is definitely without doubt true
None of your ‘facts’ are actually fact . they are ifs and maybes NOT fact
Kop on lad . they dont let u out much ,do they ?
While you are right that those things that didn’t occur yet aren’t facts yet, here is a fact for you.
Your assessment is wrong. Fact. Why? You claim that “none of” RedTed’s facts “are actually facts” as “they are ifs and maybes”. So, we may only have scored more goals this season ALREADY than last season. Do you live in an alternative reality to mine (or RedTed’s). When I compare the total amount of goals scored in the 2011-12 season (47 in 38 games) to the 49 goals scored so far this season in 27 games, ah well, do the maths yourself.
Who cares Atwater .who cares ? We are 8th and suffered embarrassingly in the cups . Results only matter. Goals possession or attempts are irrelevant .results matter
Who cares ? Who cares about goals or possession or attempts or whatever . Results matter . Only results . And Rodger has failed miserably with them
Your ‘facts’ are ridiculously stupid ,and they arent even facts . eg Arsenal and Villa both fielded full strength teams v Bradford , as did Chelsea v Swansea
… so , your talking total rubbish , all of it
8th in the table , embarrassing exits from all cup comps . Rodgers statistically IS the worst manager in LFC history .Sack the div b4 things get worse
@Geoff
You must be still in the illusion of “KK the survivor” – KK is my boyhood hero as a player, but after 2 decades of wilderness, he was just not good enough. Boast as much as you can for the miki-mouse trophy we won beating a Championship side on penalties, we were pathetic last year. We played ugly football, we played one dimensional strategy which could have been read by amateur Managers (& that’s why after half time, we were just sitting ducks) & we were pathetic with our transfer activities.
The brand of football that we are playing now, even if we finish in bottom half, it’s a massive progress from the ugly sky-hoof. & let me tell you that BR couldn’t take us to top 4, for the transfer howlers of his incompetent processors, who wasted huge amount on British garbage. Apart from Suarez & partially Enrique, every purchase that we had during Woy or KK era is a massive flop or highly inflated, resulting BR being put into tightest of corners. If we can keep Suarez & add 3-4 quality players for the starting XI, you ‘ll realize what BR is building here.
If . That’s a big IF . Why would Suarez stay ? And why would any top player come whence have a useless manager in place .you have a point about style of football but b4 smash when Allen was in the team Liverpool were playin boring negative rubbish . And Rodgers has had 1 good signing in sturridge the rest are awful
BR is building NOTHING . The guy is useless and anyone who spends 15m on Joe Allen should be lobotomized . Dalglish wasnt the right man .. but he was a lot better than what we have now
After todays results we are in 8th place! Arsenal are 5th, EIGHT points ahead of us! Even Europa league qualification will be hard now.
Progress? My ar**!
The season isn’t over now is it?
Yeah, lets have an open-top bus parade for topping the passing stats! LOL!
I think some of these clowns would . Only evertonians n mancs want us to keep Rodgers – because they are having a great laugh at our plight this season
i think these are bluenoses in disguise
What is the relation b/w passing stats and having 11 more matches to play for.
Ana,Are you seriously saying this manager will make up 8 points on Arsenal just to finish 5th? The way we are playing? The men in white coats are on their way to you right now….!!!
How come every time I read an article about Liverpool this same cretin called “Geoff” is always there wanking on and criticising LFC? I’m starting to think its an Internet bot created by Everton to annoy proper Liverpool supporters.
Proper Liverpool supporters would want Rodgers gone. Do you read the Liverpool echo ? If you did you would see its the Everton fans that love Rodgers .they want him to stay .they are always on the website leaving comments on how they love Rodgers for making us crap
And I always set my stall by what Bluenoses tell me. Jelavic is better than Suarez! Aye, alright then -wise up!
Another embarrassing comment from you Brad .
A lot of Rodgers defenders have taken the rather childish route of trying to put down fans who want Rodgers sacked , by calling us kids , or are kids getting bullied etc . People like Brad dont know anybodys personal details but they do this why ?
… Because they cant win any argument based on football . They make up silly stats like more home wins or more shots , or possession shots etc , but they can easily be shown to be irrelevant
They cry ‘ oh .. but Ferguson took time ‘ or some such nonsense , but that too can easily be disregarded . They cant win because Rodgers management has been such a disaster , so they try and put us down . Childish !
Just for the record Brad , im 44 ( not really a kid ), a season ticket holder , and i think i have posted on this site about 8 times , most of them yesterday and today , and i haven’t seen any other Geoffs posting either .
so thats another thing you are wrong about
As another guy said on yesterdays article … its mostly kids who support Rodgers , because they are more naive and gullible , or perhaps just not as knowledgeable as older fans
Most ( not all ) , but most of the fans who want Rodgers sacked are older heads like myself , and judging by the childish comment from Brad and below me … most Rodgers fans really are the kids
ps , this is Geoff ( aka King Kenny II )
I think an important point is that even if we improve our league position under Rodgers, a top class experienced manager would have improved us more. I’ve little doubt a more experienced tactically astute manager would not have made the selection and tactical mistakes (let alone signing errors) that Rodgers has made so far this season. If, say, Mourinho was in charge of the same squad (Inc. Allen) I’m certain we’d be higher up the league. Whether we could get such a manager with no Champions League and an uncertain appetite to pay high wages is another matter though. Besides, if Rodgers does manage to quality for Europa League FSG won’t sack him anyway. If we don’t qualify it’s pretty likely he goes.
Question for you taintless . If it was your choice . Would you have Liverpool qualify and another year of BR ? Or not qualify and Rodgers sacked ? I sadly would choose the latter for the good ofiur future
Liverbaby, I think if we have no European football at all Suarez will leave for sure (he may leave anyway though) and it’ll be very difficult to bring better players to the club. Our history / tradition will only go so far, and certainly (mediocre Swansea players aside) no player will come to LFC just because they want to work with Rodgers. If Europa league meant Suarez staying but also keeping Rodgers then I’d probably go with it. We have to be in Europe really and my DNA always wants us to do as well as we can. If we finish 6th with a significantly better points tally then we will have improved from last season. I’ll still believe that a better manager would have improved us more though. Judging from the way Kenny was axed last season I think FSG will be quite brutal if, by mid next season, we aren’t realistically challenging for fourth anyway. It’s incredibly frustrating that after FSG took over we haven’t improved on the pitch.
Well said KK . Im 48 and been round long enough to spot a blagger like Rodgers
I’m 32, so old enough to have childhood memories of our last title winning teams of 88 & 90 and young enough to know that the Cups mean very little. FA Cup still has a slight attraction, but truth be told, unless ur up for a double/treble or ur Everton, the Cups are pretty meaningless in the modern era.
Is Rodgers the best manager in the world? No. Is he the worst? No. Progress is seemingly being made but of course we’ll have to wait ’til the next 11 games are over to judge this properly. If we finish sixth, I’ll be happy – a European place by right, a higher points total, better goal difference, two places higher in the league and with a much younger squad. Stats that nobody can argue with!
Provided that happens, replacing the manager would be ridiculous, we need to build consistency, not rip it up and start again.
The polarisation of opinion is what really gets me though. IT’S BLACK, no no ITS WHITE. The reality is it’s shades of grey and if we want to get things back on track, we need to realise that and stick together or before long we’ll be embarrassing ourselves like those spoilt brats at Arsenal and Chelsea
You will be happy with 6th ? Shame on you. The cups are NOT meaningless. And why Do u call Chelsea and arsenal fans spoilt ? That’s just throwing stones and is silly
Their fans at least seem to have developed high standards and a winning mentality – they expect the best.
Unfortunately a lot of Liverpool fans like you seem to have a losers mentality
I’d be satisfied with 6th for the reasons stated above, all sound in my opinion. It’s very hard to go from 8th to 4th in one season, but to go to sixth would be a platform to build on. 6th isn’t the end of our rainbow and we could go higher, should we put together a good winning run btwn now and the end of the season.
Seems strange all the Rodgers out guff, we’ve lost 2 in 9 in the league and, as the article makes clear, it is a FACT that we’ve 9 points more from the same fixtures as last year. At the same time, Rodgers has had to guide the side through 12 Europa League games adding an extra 33% to the season to date.
The Cups, it’s nice to win em yeah but they don’t really matter, certainly not the League Cup, as you can tell from Cardiff & Bradford making the last two finals.
I call Chelsea & Arsenal fans spoilt because nobody has a divine right to win everything all the time. Wenger is a legend and should be treated as such, Arsenal would be nowhere without him & as for Chelsea, before Abramovic their trophy cabinet was all but bare, no history whatsoever and now look what they expect.
Booing your own team and manager is a disgrace, nobody asks you (general) to support a club, it’s a tribal thing, a primal thing and you do so through thick and thin or not at all. The modern English fan can learn a lot from his German counterpart; football is not governed by the consumer model no matter how hard the FA try to make it that way. It’s not a choice, it’s a compulsion and you never take sides against the tribe.
Finally, the mentality of a loser for me would is defined as somebody who doesn’t achieve instant success in a chosen field, so abandons his principles and ideas, gives up and moves on to the next venture. Sound familiar??
I think @Geoff must be a disgruntled pre-pubescent teen angry with the world for his ‘short comings’ & failures and confused about his sexuality, so he (like so many other so-called ‘fans’) uses pages like these to vent his frustrations & slag off the team & BR (no doubt due to his confusing feelings towards the man) instead of doing what real fans do & GET BEHIND THE TEAM (if you read this geoff please try not to get excited about this image) for f**ks sake you pessimistic morons, we are playing great football again & results will come, were you calling for KK’s head last season when everything was so bad or were you like so many others willing to give him time? Give BR the same courtousy & let him have until the end of next season before you turn up on his doorstep with his pet rabbit in one hand a stew pot in the other & a confused look on your gormless face with your trousers round your ankles.
Grow up or do one & go support chel$ki or one of the other ‘glory’ teams……..
That’s just a dumb childish comment. You obviously have issues with that much aggression. You must be a immature kid. No adult would write rubbish like that
well said.. rodgers needs to be given time..but he does need to sought out the defense.we need to be very organized defensively check out the goal difference between tottenham and liverpool.. we could have been occupying that place right now .
We could ? We could have been bottom 6 if it wasn’t fir Suarez incredible form . Get a grip n stop fantasizing
‘Sought out the defence’ !!
Ha haaa, someone bunked off school a bit!
Brad stop multi commenting you sad loser . There is no way there are three such sad losers as the three dumb comments above suggests. If you are stupid enough to think progress has been made under bullsh*t Brendan then you totally ignorant about football
There are still quite a few ‘sad losers’ still out there .
surely the most telling fact is how poor the teams are above us are, when where supposedly at the lowest eb in our illustrious history. They are all so far off Man United now that I would say is embarasssing. Just shows what pig sh*t thick their fans are for giving us stick on internet forums! Give the lads time and if you wont do that. Fu*ck off and support you’re local teams yeah?
More time ? We wasted a whole season on this no mark . The guy is out if his depth . Did u want hodgson to stay too ? If not then ur a hypocrite
your a muppet mate call yourself true red think you would suit being a blue better you bitter tw*t
Immature dumb comment . Sad fools like you need to grow up
Rodgers style is coming along, the team has heart, we are scoring more just mistakes are costing us(defence) which Rodgers will buy in the summer, we’ve needed to sort that for ages but everything takes time, YNWA
Lots of deluded muppets on here tonight . Worst season in 50 years and these dopes call it progress
Think they are dumb kids who dont remember far back enough to know what it means to be a liverpool fan
I suppose all the kiddies wanting Bodgers to stay also wanted the great hodgson given more time. BR is our worst ever . Pathetic.
End of the day hicks and gillet * the club dalglish * money, rogers has done well with wot he’s got, he hasn’t had millions to spend like city. If he did it would b a different storey. It’s all about giving him money not selling top players to rise money end of
Spent over 50m . More than Kenny did net. U are making lame excuses
BR out ! The guy Is useless . 50m spent . 8th in the league . Sack now please
So we get rid of Brendon and who do we get in? And when they fail to win the league in their first season we get rid of them (who ever they are) and then we get another somebody to come to a club that has become serial slackers of managers that can’t turn round a club to the satisfaction of impatient I want success now so called fans who wouldn’t understand the concept of building success of it crept up on them and spanked them on the arse. Shankly to time, Fergie took time and any manger needs time to turn an average te into a good one into a great one FACT.
I agree fully with you…. 🙂 at last some normal fans! Not all these guys like sack Rodgers blah blah blah 🙂
Rubbish post . Fergie improved man u immediately and had 12 years of experience and fantastic success before that . So really , you dont know what your talking about .
As for who . Anybody would be better than the average Rodgers – but there are plenty of top managers who would come
I find so called fans like you , to have a very poor knowledge of football , that you dont know the names of the tpp managers who are looking for a job in the summer
Have you been to Anfield at all?
Every week , i pay good money , ive sat there and watch the mediocre rubbish Rodgers has inflicted on us
… and my club deserves better
There is a reason why Anfield is a very quiet place these days, so what is your point?
Dennis think you need to learn your facts fergie didn’t improve Man U immediately, he was close to getting the sack give you a little history lesson pal January 1990 United were struggling at the foot of the table and chants of ‘Fergie Out’ began to issue from stands and terraces, especially after a 5-1 defeat to Man City. Martin Edwards always denies it, but Fergie’s job was on a knife-edge and it all came to a head in the 3rd Round FA Cup game away to Nottingham Forest.If United lost Fergie would have been sacked so yeah give Rodgers time I really think it will come good there are improvments there, and you also have to have a look how are defence has performed this year I really think there not showing the form they had last Season the players have to take responsibility and the blame shouldn’t be put on just the manager and I’m not saying he’s perfect by any means but we really need to show faith! we have created more chances than we had last season and are home recored has improved, instant success is not going to come over night
OMG . Do i have to educate every dumb moron on here ?
oh well , might as well
Ferguson had immense success before joining MU . european trophy , league titles with crap clubs . Proven successful manager
Joined MU when they were 2nd from bottom in Nov , the club was in deep sh*t , guided them to 12th – not bad ? ??
season 2 – they finished runner up to Liverpool _ how is that for progress ? 21st to 2nd in just over 1 and half season
I Know he had problems in his 4th season but after his initial success , he probably deserved some patience , but Rodgers has done NOTHING to warrant any .
Good manager make an instant impact . Sh!te managers .. well look at Rodgers
You americans Matt dont really grasp football fully yet
It’s Brendan! Also there’s no ‘e’ in ‘Raging’! Or ignoramus!
Did you expect intelligence from people supporting Rodgers ?. They are just gullible kids
Bloody hell, ur like a woman bitching!!
Thats NOT a fact , thats a lie ! Shanks transformed LFC almost immediately with non stop success
Rodgers fans just dont know their ‘FACTS’
Who’s ‘Rodger’s’?
Let me start by saying I am a fan of Brendan Rodgers and I don’t think the club should sack him.
The article talks about progress, maybe we should look at this season in terms of preparation for the future instead?
The club (Rodgers / Ayre / FSG) have set about putting a structure in place that will make us compliant with financial fair play, at the same time investing in the future by purchasing some young / hungry players that are not yet the finished article. As much as I loved Kuyt and Maxi I think we were right to move them on, the wages were astronomical and allowed us to invest in new players.
Obviously mistakes have been made in the transfer market. I don’t think anyone at the club would deny that? Maybe Borini was a mistake (certainly my opinion), did we really need Joe Allen (I am still excited about his future at the club) and couldn’t we have made more of an effort to land Sneider (that boy can play). The fact is every manager makes mistakes. History shows we missed out on signing the incredible Michael Laudrup over a few hundred pounds a week. Was there uproar by the fans? No.
I think BR has got the foundations laid for a bright future at Anfield. We have looked exposed at times this season, I think this is because the squad lack a few key options:
Full backs – I love Johnson and Enrique as a rampaging wing backs, against the so called weaker teams we know they will tear them to pieces. However, defensively they can be a little naive. I think if we sign an old school full back in both positions to play against the more technical teams (or to close matches out) we will become a much more solid unit at the back.
Centre half – With Carragher getting another year older (slower) we have been relying on Agger and Skrtel more. Neither of these boys are ball winners in the vein of Carragher. We need someone to play alongside one of these guys (I’d play Skrtel against the bigger teams, Agger against the more technical teams) who will be Rodgers general, organising the defence and barking orders. A decent amount of pace is a must.
Defensive Midfielder – Lucas is a legend at the club (I hope that Allen and Henderson grow in the same way) but I think we need a good alternative, strong and blessed with pace to chase things down so the centre halves aren’t exposed as much.
Centre Forward – We need a ‘Plan B’, luckily we have just the man currently on loan at West Ham. We all know we paid too much for Andy Carroll but the fact is he is a game changer. Look no further than last years FA Cup Final. He terrorised John Terry. Having a strong player like Carroll in training everyday would surely benefit Agger and Skrtel who have been out muscled by lesser players all season.
In summary, we are a work in progress but in my own opinion we are a lot stronger and ready for the future than at this point last season.
delusion
7th in league , 2 finals , 1 trophy , _v_ . 8th in league , nothing but embarrassing defeats in cups
progress ? ur havin a laugh . its only progress to mentally insane
As opposed to the other types of insanity!
Like physically insane? Spiritually insane? Here’s a clue, there is only one kind of insanity, the mental type. So you can just say insane!
Yes professor. Good English class today. Btw Rodgers out
U must be really intelligent Damo lol
…sorry forgot to ask, is my grammar and spelling ok for u haha!!
We came 8th last year……
Cant believe there are still people on here defending Rodgers . You should be ashamed of yourselves , This once great club is being dragged down by Brenda . Worst season in living memory and im 34 , and definitely worst manager
Roy Hodgson
Hodgson believe it or not had a better win ratio than Rodgers does . And hodgson had loads of injuries to best players. See….even hodgson is better than Rodgers
The writer has taken time to lay out facts. It’s a well thought out and presented article, I don’t see why he should be ashamed of himself for such a well reasoned analysis. I have my issues with Rodgers and personally I’ll wait till end of season for a proper comparison to last season, but this was interesting reading nonetheless.
Good comment and fair point.
Somebody actually speaking sense!
You really are a gutless *, YOU represent the modern day football fan & i hope your words *choke you – because i would if i had to sit & listen to you & every other *who cant get behind the club , please just *off the lot of you, we really dont need fans like you dragging our club down
Blah blah blah . Another frustrated kid who wants to tell everyone how to support their club . Grow up lad
the only diff bw kd and br is 1 trofy.if u look at last season, kd have maxi,kuyk,etc to his squrd,and spend more than br.while rogers use inexperienced academy ‘stelling,suso,etc’ for games like fa cup,carling cup ete.so any person that says rodgers should go is not a football fan.how can u expect him to enter top4 with small tranfere fund?.did rodgerp have the squrd other top cluds have?so if u are a liverpool fan,please surpot rodgers and stop puting preasure on him.
Rodgers has spent more net than Dalglish . And yea Dalglish won a trophy – kind of important , no ? and got to FA cup final , and had Suarez and Gerrard out for ages
Rodgers has been amazingly lucky wit damn all injuries too .Any person wanting Rodgers to stay aint a Pool fan
Rogers has got dalglish’s mess and trying to tidy it up hence Carroll Adams Henderson downing. He’s got rid of two just the other two to go at the end of the season. All *. Couthino sturridge can’t u see wot he’s trying to do
So … ? Who is going to clean up Rodgers mess ???
The next guy will have to get (try) rid of Allen , Borini , Assaidi all of which are pure rubbish ! and maybe even Coutinho , judging by Rodgers track record i have my doubts
If Rodgers gets another window , i hear Ashley Williams is a done deal for 15m -another average player the next guy will be stuck with
Dalglish made some mistakes – but Rodgers is making EVEN more
Any gutless pr**k wanting rodgers out doesnt understand what it means to SUPPORT THEIR CLUB – just live with it or go support chel$ki – they like glory fans
Ha ha .another dumb man U fan wanting Rodgers to stay. Who else would want our useless manager tokens his job ?
No real and knowledgeable fan wants Rodgers to stay. If we didn’t have one of the best strikers in the world (fabio borini lol) we would be in a delegation battle.
*off brendan and take Fabio and Joe with you.
Rogers not good enough for lfc . Never was.never will be
Brendan, just wanted to say thanks for such a thoughtful analysis, interesting read. Let’s see where we finish at the end of the season. I believe that a top class manager would have done better still though (not making the selection and tactical mistakes Rodgers has, never mind signings).
