So every successful team has one. Even shit teams have one. The first thing Rodgers should be doing is finding a shit hot defensive midfielder. How he cannot see that he exposes his defence to unnecessary pressure every game without one is beyond me.

I think - and this isn't a justification in my mind - that Rodgers believes that in his system we press and win the ball higher up the pitch anyway. This is why I have a suspicion he'll play Milner and Henderson together. I think he thinks that we wouldn't be getting that sort of pressure because we'd win the ball earlier.

It's negated by how we did this season because our midfield got bypassed constantly and wasn't really operating as a cohesive unit. And our pressing was shite. But I think he thinks our system when it works means we won't need one.
 


He said shit hot.. not shit... 😉


That being said... I do thing Lucas is a good option to have.. but we need better..

Schneiderlin would be perfect imho.. but will we bid for him... ? probably not as he is going to UTD...

It hasn't worked for most of the season.. he needs to draw up plan B...

His tactics are based on having a pacy, penetrating and fruitful forward line that can press, until that is addressed he has to resort to a plan B...

That sounds about right. It's the only explanation why he was trying to play Lucas further forward for a start.
 
There is no discernable system. It's a load of bollocks. He couldn't even get them to close down in a fucking FA cup semi final.
He's basically pulled the wool over FSG's eyes because they know nothing about football.
Worst defeat for 52 years. Fuck off.

Yeah. It doesn't really make sense to me. Partly because I don't know what the model is as far as Brendan is concerned. For Benitez, he was apeing Sacchi. I understood at least what he was trying. But with Rodgers? Is it Barcelona? He wants a midfield three with one pivot and two ahead of that pivot, one of whom is a 'Number 10'. Barcelona have done that, with Busquets as the pivot, but Busquets isn't really a deep-lying playmaker in the way Alonso has been for Madrid/Bayern. Lucas is the closest midfielder we have in style to Busquets, and Rodgers spent ages trying to shoehorn Gerrard there. The problem is that someone like Alonso as the deepest midfielder works when you have attackers that press and midfielders that win the ball higher up the pitch. And yet Rodgers was continuing with Gerrard as the deepest when we lost that pressing. So I get the impression he doesn't quite understand, beyond anything conceptual, how a midfield actually works in connection with the rest of the team.

Agreed. He has no fucking clue what he's doing. But he's delighted to tell every cunt with a microphone what a genius he is when by some stroke of luck we play a manager who hasn't worked him out. Pardew, Hughes, Pulis et al must rub their hands when they play us. clueless, easy to play against, easy to bully, easy to beat.
Pathetic.
 
BR still hoping for Joe allen will come good for the role.


Poor old Joe Allen, I'm not sure Rodgers has ever figured out where he wants him to play. He had him as the second of the three midfielders at Swansea but he's barely played in that role for us. He's played as the deepest in the three and then in a two.
 
When Rodgers started playing 3 at the back I was hopefully we'd see him try Can at the centre, in more of a sweeper role, allowing hendo and Allen (or whoever) to move forward to receive the ball in a more attacking position.

Instead he played him at RCB and said bomb on from there.

It made no fucking logical sense at all.
 
So basically its nothing to do with why we havent announced the signing of a Worldy DM in early June, its just another thread for the same posters to vent the same abuse that they've vented elsewhere. Brilliant.
 
Schneiderlin is a big Liverpool fan. If that matters in Walcott's case, it may as well matter in this case. Apparently Giannelli Imbula is rated at only £12m. Personally I'd like the club to consider one or both of these.
 
I don't get the sense a DM is on the list. Milner, Ings, a RB, Striker and a Goalkeeper seem to be the players we're after. I suppose if Lucas goes that might change.
 
Redninja following Sean round like a lapdog liking every post. Pair of nauseating, repetitive fucking cunts.
 
How many times is superfan Sean going to mention Pardew and Hughes? It'd be funny as fuck if Rodgers turned this round, just to see this gobshite implode.
 
Lucas & Can can play at DM.

We need better at CM to partner Henderson than Allen.

For me, in order it's

Striker 1
CM
RB
DM
Striker 2
Reserve Keeper
Reserve LB

I don't know why people think Can will be eased in, he's had a season of being bedded in, he looked out of position doing a job at the end of the season, but overall he was a big success and would be ideal in that role, he can defend and he can move box to box too when needed. We don't need one quite so urgently as being made out.
 
Yes, I've been posting the same shite repeatedly since October, oh wait..

Thats correct.. within reason.. and if anyone posts to contest your views.. you don't like it. and you let those feeling known..

couple of times that has happend already even today..


People are entitled to an opinion.. ok I might drone on a bit.. but I am not the only one on here that does that

So that makes it ok then? You've posted the same shit for months and months and when challenged about it, you tell people to lighten up and pass it off as a joke. People have been banned for less.

RedNinja et al aren't suddenly going to become different people and there will likely always be people who take up their kind of views / posting styles as Fabio said.

So what's your end game with this? You want them banned? What?

The forum isn't as lively as it used to be what with bannings, departures and long-time posters posting infrequently. At this rate there will be no forum left.
