Brendan Rodgers

[Fredo]

He might have a point but this public flogging isn't particularly helpful.

Seems to have worked to an extent with Downing.

[BigChief]

Lets hope this is a wake up call / kick up the arse for all our white-suit wearing high earning youngsters and oldsters alike. Can't be more black and white than in, well, black and white.

I'm expecting a win against Arsenal, we are going to be soooo fired up now.

As for Joe Allen, I've seen Joe throw Yaya Touré to the ground last season. He has never been found wanting physically. For some players their power and strength is in their brain. Otherwise you would have basketball players throughout your team. I don't think that as a team we are physically light or short in anyway. I think it's mental and that's something we need to improve."

Allen has been found wanting physically on numerous occasions including yesterday. We lack a physical presence in our midfield and it is not just a mental issue.

Also airing all of this in public is not helpful considering the huge game we have on Wednesday should of been done behind closed doors.

Yes.

[Kenneth]

Yes.

It should.

[Baracus]

Anyone who doesn't have us challenging is going to get it. Even Kenny got plenty, nobody else stands a chance.

The Loyalist turned very quickly on Kenny

Even Kenny got pasted last year when he came out in public and slated the team for being crap. Its true what Rodgers says and we've been saying it for years. The mentality of the team and key players is crap ( has been for 3-4 years) and many go missing.

[Baracus]

He talks way too much to the press to begin with.

He does..but if he did not the press would be after him and do him over like they have done with our previous managers ( except Roy Bodge). Keep them happy *hopefully* hardcore mentalist haters will follow.

[el matador]

Surprising to hear the manager come out and slate the players like that. He said only Allen and Henderson came out with any credit. Not sure how Suarez feels about that.

We were poor all over the pitch but he's too quick to come out and deflect the blame onto the players. I thought that tactically we were found wanting vs Oldham and that's not the players fault.

But its true too many of them just didn't do enough, jones, wisdom Robinson, coates, skrtel, sterling borini and sturridge were all ****. suarez tried, Henderson put in a shift, Allen im not sure should be exempt from criticism, and then downing and Gerrard were involved when they came on.

If we beat arsenal no one will remember Sunday but we cannot lose.

Go on Brendan, get stuck into them. There are other approaches that can be used which no-one likes to hear e.g Rafa coming out after similar games that we got bullied in and saying that we played well and were unlucky etc etc.

Its BR's job to get these players to man up and start getting tougher. Oldham bullied us for 60 minutes and that is totally unacceptable. Iv no problem with him having a go at the players when it is warranted. Hopefully it will get a reaction out of them on wednesday.

[Kenneth]

We'll see. If it doesn't help it will have been a bad move, doing more harm than good. IF it does, it's a bingo.

im not being funny but how can you tell a team of young players to man up. Ffs half of them were probably under 22 against what looked like a seasoned but poor Oldham side.

We need more experience and more brute strength in the team. Don't know wtf Rodgers is on about Allen manhandling toure ffs. out of 100 challenges you'd expect Allen to beat toure twice.

The rest of the time he'd be toures bitch.

Same way you tell a boy to stop crying like a girl.

That is fine but why do it in public no need for it
