Kneejerk or Spot on?

No I'm going to take a baseball bat to the TV.
I've not felt this angry about us for quite a while.....
It really is starting to get depressing.... If we don't stop this slide soon Rodgers will be gone at end of season

It seems like Suarez did the teamtalks last season because this season we start slow in most games and really struggle to get any rhythm from then on. His all action style of chasing around and shouting and cajoling of teamnates was infectious. Maybe the others followed his example and that was why we pressed higher up the pitch. It could be a tactical change but if it is it really isn't helping us.
Also the passing about at the back just enables teams to get organised against us and we never seem to benefit tactically or offensively because if it. If anything it tends to put us in trouble. Winds me up that we play just as many backwards passes as forwards ones.
One of the things that is said about Suarez is how hard he works in training and how he plays with similar intensity in training. I wonder if the trainings intense now he's gone because most of our players want so much time on the ball it's a joke! They seem surprised when someone tackles them in a match and when other players are physical with them. I've no idea whether this is the case but i wouldn't be a bit surprised.

It's something that's crept up on me, because a while ago we seemed to have them in every position, but there's a total lack of leaders in this team now. I'm not sure there's a single one.
That's as big a problem as anything. The idea that Lovren would be our rock like defensive leader.... Jesus that's a real indictment of Rodgers I'm afriad.

That's a red anytime by today's standards. Just amazing it wasn't given.
i thought our season would go exactly like this. the summer signings weren't right at all. all good players but it wasn't right for us.
Rodgers is a bellend starting that team today. As soon as I saw it, I knew we were fucked.
The difference in our play when Balotelli had a partner against Swansea was unreal, yet he abandons that.
We played with 2 forwards last season with Sturridge and Suarez so why the fuck is he playing 1 upfront now? If he just going to swap Mario with Sturridge when he's fit? It's not going to have some major effect. Plus, if that doesn't work, then what?
Can't fucking wait for Real Madrid.

Yeah I'm not sure what's happening to the team. Even in Rodgers' first season you could tell we had a good passing and distribution system, which refined and made it better in the second. But its all gone to nought now and we can't string more than a couple of passes when bringing the ball up. It can't just be a matter of teams wisening up to our style of play. Our movement is so shit it destroys the passing game, and vice versa.
I'm sorry but it's not that bad a squad. At all. And even if it was, BR has built it. Yeh yeh the players this the players that, but it's his fucking job to buy the right players, utilise them appropriately and manage and motivate them correctly.
Honestly, I don't see anything he is doing right at the moment. Nothing.
I don't want him sacked, as I think he's a good manager, but he's more than happy to take the plaudits when we are killing every team put in front of us ala last season, so he should have balls enough to admit he's to blame now and that he'll do his best to sort it.
The blame lies at his feet.
Sort it out and get us back to playing the way know we can.

Then go to the deleted programmes and delete it again. Just in case you might be tempted.
It's starting to look like any success Rodgers has had here was on the back of Suarez and building our formation and style around him.
Now he's gone, all of our massive weaknesses that were papered over by Suarez are becoming massively more evident.
Keeper-terrible
Defence-not bad players but utterly unorganised and lacking leadership
Midfield-needs a dm and is badly organised and not arsed. Playing too slow.
Attack-balotelli looks bollocks without a partner, and sterling, coutinho, lallana don't look like they'll score a goal unless it deflects in off someone's arse.
We've played about 10games and looked good in 1. That's on Rodgers for me. Sturridge coming back isn't going to make mignolet a better keeper, organise the defence or sort the midfield out.

Complicated this football lark innit. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, it all goes wrong. Mysterious.
Have you also noticed how everyone can see what's wrong and how to correct it except the Manager?
Baffling.
Do you think that with 28 games to go and admittedly having lost 1 of the last 5 league games we can improve when we get our top striker back?

Trust me when I say this.
If, by some miracle, we beat Real at the Bernabeu, this forum will go so berserk that you'd have thunk we had won the 2005 CL final all over again, and suddenly, everyone is a hero again and Brodgers is the best manager in the world.

Let's blame Woy.
It'll be all ok after that.
