Yeah that's fair enough. I'd never play Coates, ever. Even before this game. But those players are near enough all internationals against a team that could go out of the football league altogether.
The reason we lost was because we missed our chances and gifted them their goals. Criminal at any level.
And yeah, I wouldn't have played 4 forwards.
Rodgers can only train, coach and pick the team his squad allows, he can't be responsible for grown men behaving like flacid pussies when they meet a team of Orcs like Oldham and Stoke, the players are to blame and should be ashamed of themselves, several of them need to grow a pair. Coates is sadly unfit for Liverpool FC.
He can teach his team to defend though. Or is that to be left to someone else.
So, are we shit again?
Six Bi-polar Minutes
We have been shit for 3 seasons. Don't let the odd good result tell you otherwise.
Good job we got knocked out, I reckon.
Spot on. A manager who had a bizarre strategy of actually trying to win the competitions we entered.
True, but i would still say that the adult men(who get paid paid bucket fucking loads of money, more than the average lifetimes salary every year)he selected got pushed around like school kids again and they should shoulder most if not all of the blame.
Brendan has jotted a few notes today:
1. 4--2-4 IS NOT a good system he should stick to 4--3--3
2.playing 3 inexperienced defenders with the reserve goalkeeper and you are asking for trouble.
3.Borini lacks the bottle to play for liverpool and should join his fellow bottler Aquilani in Italy.
4.Play your best team and rest them once you have the game safe with a good lead.

I really cant believe people are giving Rodgers stick for his team selection. We had more than a good enough 11 to beat Oldham ffs.
We lost because we failed to match them for effort, because of individual mistakes and some rash decision-making and finishing in the final third.

FIRE RODGERS
(let's see how angry gary gets before he realizes i'm taking the piss and want to give rodgers every opportunity to win the league)

Our defensive organisation is piss poor. The system is too open and it's been obvious since West Brom away on the first day. It's great having all these fancy dans upfront, we've got no fucking spine or cohesion without the ball. At the minute we're the anti-Benitez side.
The league is poor in terms of defending though, so I wouldn't read too much into the stats. It's pretty clear we're nowhere near as solid as we have been for most of the last decade.
Teams that score against us seem to read from the same manual:
1. Be physically imposing, be mean and aggressive - they're afraid of body contact
2. Leap high, leap high - their white men can't jump
3. Far post, far post, far post - their full backs don't watch their far posts
4. Shoot low, shoot hard; pounce on the rebound when their keeper inevitably fumbles the low ball
5. If you see Wisdom in front of you, cross.
6. If all else fails, score the best goal of your lifetime. Always works.

Only 6. That's great that is. Wow 7th best. Awesome.
So we have the 7th best defence.
Which might explain why we're 7th in the League.
We've definitely lost some defensive cohesion under Rodgers - but our attacking ability has improved.
We've gone from a counter attacking team that can hurt top teams but fail to beat shit teams - to being more successful at beating shit teams while failing to beat top teams.
Except when we play our fringe players en masse - then we struggle against pub teams.

Another humiliation of our club at the hands of some shite team, in a competition we could have won. It's entirely the fault of the manager for picking that defence. Everyone can say what they want about it should have been good enough, but everyone also knows that defensive expertise comes from playing together in a settled selection. Throwing together a bunch of reserves (bar Skrtel), away, in the FA Cup was asking for trouble and once again we are making the sort of headlines that prospective signings will look at and further realise we are no longer anywhere near being a top team.
When Tal posts, you know it's bad. He (or she) only posts when people are angry, and frustrated. One can only hope we don't see him/her for a long time!
58 minutes gone in the Barca game, and Messi has 4 goals.
I do think Rodgers made a mistake there.
Carra's best days are behind him but that game would have suited him down the ground.
Coates had a shocker.
