Oh I agree with that. My point is that I have no faith in Rodgers , nor in the decision to appoint O'Driscoll as his no 2. Experienced talented managers may not need the help ( Mourinho et al) or are savvy enough to realise where their weakness are ( reference Rodgers refusal to consider a defense coach when it was just a bit obvious we were defensively shark last year).
Rodgers needs a shadow looking down on him, otherwise we're in for a very long season with the same mistakes made . Just IMO of course. He should have gone at the end of the year when there were a couple of reasonable alternatives available.
From a lot of reading about him, it would seem that he has the talent, the approach and the skills but lacks the "ego or self-promotion" that Prem clubs look for. Many previous players and peers mention that they are very surprised that it has taken this long for him to be in the Prem - and also mention that he loves to coach creative, possession football. Sounds alright to me.
