I think last season the idea was to play the ball out of defence straight into the final third quickly and that was only possible due to the movement that was going on upfield thanks to Suarez and Studge of course.
Now we obviously have no movement upfront and yet Rodgers' game plan hasn't changed. We are practically passing it around our centre backs and Stevie for 90 mins. It's absurd, why aren't we doing something else? Is Rodgers a one trick pony?

Is it just me or has Lallana disappeared after that assist.
Wow we're negative.
Every player, first reaction is to pass it backwards - even Gerrard.
The movement in the last 20 minutes looked utterly non-existent but still, first thought is backwards. It's like Didi in the last moments of GH's time here.
As Macca has said, Sterling is utterly wasted. The life's gone out of him just now and he needs resting. Not sure how Rodgers can do that but, right now, there's not much point playing him.
Two major positive - Manquillo has played his best game for us. Utterly savaged by Madrid but he's been up against their most dangerous player and given as good as he's gotten.
Lambert scoring - looked close to tears when he was celebrating. Beautiful goal as well - pity it wasn't at Anfield.
No reason we shouldn't win this. We look well capable of either to be honest but we should be able to find a win here.

I'm afraid so. Well it seems like it.
I think the reason is that they look capable of scoring with every attack and we're struggling to muster anything in the final third.
I am hoping we can get conjure up a couple of moments of magic but conceding and then going onto lose the game feels like the more likely outcome these days.
I am not missing Martin Kelly any more.
It's amazing how he's so reliant on that system, yet he took 100m in the summer which all he really had to do with is replace one clever moving offensive player, and he did the exact opposite of that.
This passing around and building from the back is driving me nuts.
I'd much rather have Moreno at left back. Is he injured or has he been left out?
I admire his struggle against baldness. I gave up too early.
He and Gervinho are my heroes.
Get Lucas on, move Gerrard further forward.
Get Borini on.
Take Johnson off for Moreno.
