Another reasonable result to keep us ticking over until we get in another decent striker.
Would you be calling these draws reasonable results if Rodgers was still here?
Draws away against Bristol and home vs Swansea in their current form? Yes, yes I would. But at the same time Rodgers put pressure on himself to win hard games by fouling up so many easier ones. McDermott also gets more leeway for being early in his tenure and inheriting a squad from someone else he can do nothing about.
Rodgers had an entire preseason and signed seven players, he also had 23 games prior to these two in which to show me something I could believe in, and failed in all but one or two.
Preston were on form when we beat them up there but that doesn't come into it as Rodgers was manager and you have an irrational hatred for him. Did Rodgers not inherit a squad without being able to do much about it with his net spend of -£9 million as cloth was cut?
Rodgers came into the club not having seen any of the players in competitive games before pre-season and tried everyone out. You only believed in what happened in one or two games? We played well in most of the games this season but weren't able to finish teams off due to a lack of firepower - see Bristol City away last week.
