Yeah, I am beginning to think that although Rogers' tactics are proven, his player evaluation is a bit flawed when it comes to realizing who can excel and in what position. The top 2 or 3 players is obvious, but with both of them hurt... He seems lost.

I will give him credit for rolling the dice and going for broke for a win. Only issue i take with that is our back line isn't reliable when we are protecting them, much less when we abandon them. I think if we can have a healthy Studge and Balo, we can have success. That back four is imperatice to fix though.

I'm not surprised by this result at all, though I did let myself have hope after the first few minutes...

I'm undecided on Rodgers, but his choices in the market are definitely suspect... Everyone gets some wrong and I didnt/don't have a huge issue with anyone he bought (yeah, Lovren in retrospect and the price of Lallana)... It's more what he didn't buy. I like the young guys and think they'll be fine, but his arrogance to think he can turn them into a bunch of Sterlings right away is off putting... IMO, if he stays, we need a strong DOF who is in charge of transfers... Let him coach..

He also has the unenviable task as the manager that has to bench Gerrard at times, but if he doesn't, it will contribute to his own downfall...

I am sick of shitty defense, BR is obviously not the manager to fix out back four. We let more than our best player go with Suarez, we let our engine go and BR was given a ton of money to replace him and this is the product we get? If I'm John Henry this might be the opportunity he needs to go with new leadership on the pitch. My problem is in January are we really going to let Rodger's spend more money? I almost can't bear the thought of that scenario.
