Brendan Rodgers

[G]

For the next two games i'd be really concentrating on being tight at the back and not getting stuffed. Two hammerings and the pressure would really be on.

we arent capable of being solid.

we arent capable of being solid.

We are the more liquidy, pebbledash type of turd.

we arent capable of being solid.

We were today, just an individual mistake by a young lad, which will happen. We were also solid v Hull and Everton. We are generally looking a lot better at the back. But we are struggling for the right balance and individual players aren't performing. Couts was great when he came on v Hull. Today? Useless. And he's not an isolated case.

Everyone expects to get beat twice. Nothing to lose there. Today was a blow, I think we needed a win to keep our heads above water. After Chelsea we're going to have to really get some wins together to get back in the mix. Thankfully Danny will be back by then. Just in time I guess.

I know what the solution is, there is so much wrong with the team, everything wrong in fact.

This summer could be his undoing.

in brendans defence, we had to fill out the squad because it wasnt big enough. but you cant do that and bring in top quality (im not talking about adam lallana who i like) at the same time.

this year the squad is bigger, but the next two transfer windows we have to buy quality like reus, gundogan etc... we already have the quantity.

I think signings are only part of the problem

Hes tinkered with his system and made some bizarre team selections recently

[Lecter]

he tried his patient system in the first few months of his first year and we were utter dross, then coutinho and sturridge came along and we transformed into a counter attacking team. this is at complete odds to his keep ball vision.

last season we continued with this very direct style of play but it was never his vision on football. this season we bought in 2 wide players in markovic and lallana to add to coutinho and sterling.

why would you have four players for one position if mario and daniel are the starting pair. i believe what we are seeing now is what rodgers is trying to implement - his 433, with one up top and 2 out wide but it hasnt worked for us.

I think hes a fool to tear up a system that worked to go back to a system that didnt

Also playing Mario upfront as a lone striker is a fools errand

Fool. Strong words Lec.

[Lecter]

Fool. Strong words Lec.

Maybe "fool" was the wrong choice of words

I think its a mistake and I have thought the system isnt right in some of the games we have won. Other than Spurs were we looked great and played the system from last season the rest its looked ropey

I don't understand why he has abandoned the formation that brought us so much success last season. Playing one up top has never really worked for us under Rodgers. Two up top has. Just because we sold Suarez? It's stupid reasoning.

As far as I'm concerned it all goes back to the summer. We got the strategy wrong and we got the recruitment wrong. In my opinion there is absolutely no defending it.

[danperkins]

His interviews are starting to grate. He's talking about our passing being good which it clearly was not... we relied on Gerrard's long balls. Then he mentions about us not having anything in the final third... **** man the reason why we had nothing in the final third is because of the way he set us up.

I like Rodgers but it's a lot got to do with the way he sets us up & the players he is insisting on playing.

[captainfog]

What's he supposed to say in these interviews though? We were ****ing **** and I ****ed up in the transfer window? Managers always talk ****e in the post match and Rodgers is no different.

[Roboklopp]

I don't disagree with your sentiments Lec, just was trying to gauge the level of your disillusionment. I find it nonsensical and really, really frustrating too.
