I had to go to a charity do last night and had to leave at 7pm, so I missed everything from just after their penalty. How did Origi do?
I thought it was pretty harsh to take Ings off, one the midfielders should have made way instead and we should have tried Origi with Benteke AND Ings. I thought we should have brought Ibe on at half time too, just add a bit of pace on the break and someone who could get in behind. You could see the difference Young made in that respect. Anyway, that was just about the worst first half performance I've seen in recent years, both sides were poor but we were gutless and lacking any sort of game plan. We look flat, disjointed and lacking anyone with the confidence to get hold of the game. You can partly blame the players but it's a worrying mentality that this team has. There has always been lingering concerns that we let our heads drop too easily, but I agree with Macca on this one, we look defeated before the game even starts. We need a lift, whether that starts and ends with Rodgers one way or another I really don't know, but the optimism of the Summer and upto the Arsenal game has evaporated in next to no time.
