Jamie Carragher

[Rafa Justice]

We didn’t have to win this game though, just not lose. The team got sucker punched by going all out.

Its this really. When the slip happened they were on the half way line with no need to be. He tried to outgun Jose and failed.


In fairness though, if we won that title we wouldn't have had Klopp. I'm fine with the slip now, best thing to happen in hindsight.

He tried to win a game, what a asshat.

Nobody has called him that, it was just his naive tactics that contributed to the defeat.

[Kenneth]

I don’t buy it. I get that people want to deflect away from Gerrard though.

I don't think naivety was evident in the Chelsea game but his lack of experience/whatever contributed to the Palace cluster****.

Jaysus that Palace game was hard to take. What were we thinking? That's were the manager should have got clear instructions on to calm the **** down. We needed something like a 7 goal swing. It was arrogant even to go for that.

it was - but at the time we were banging in goals for fun..... in march of that year, we scored 18 goals in 5 games.....even in that game against Palace, we were 3 nil up.....crazy **** altogther

Look lads, face it...as much we were brilliant in going forward under Rodgers, we were woeful at the back, keeper too!... Jamie Carragher said it will be our Achilles heel so when we came up against teams that had a decent defence, we were found wanting...slip or not & again against Palace, 3-0 up & for them to come back 3-3...that says we didn't deserve to win that year, no matter how much we wanted it!

Rodgers has to take responsibility for binning Pep for a keeper utterly unsuited to his style of play, and who just happened to be a bit ****e too. The defence was still crap, but at least Pep could stay awake for 90 minutes

Didn't we concede about 50 goals that season?

Yep, 51 from memory.

Edit. Exactly 50,GD was 51.

But the team wouldn't have been in that position in the league if it wasn't for his approach to games.

The success of that team all year came from taking the game to the opponent and outscoring them, no matter who they were.

It was one of his strengths as a manager and he was the first on to do that consistently for a long while at Liverpool

That's undeniable which only highlights his naivety in having no alternative to going for it, even when he didn't need to go for it
