Stoke (A) Last game of the season (thank God for that)

Time to park the kolo bus.

 

[MaBigTip]

Ibe is too far away from the opponents goal for my liking.

 

[Skullflower]

We need a roaring rendition of the kolo toure song

 

[cloggypop]

Oh good, NBC are showing me the five goals again.

Like going the dentist, getting up & being dragged back into the chair for five new root canals.

That Nzonzi goal was boss.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I relaly hope our owners understand enough about footy that they'll know that the manager making the same changes at 5-0 he should have made at 1-0 & still refusing to add a striker of any sort means he's lost the plot big time.

 

[DHSC]

I miss Luis Suarez.

These things only work if they're teary and overwrought.

Markmc just tweeted Rodgers is gone

 

[Hansern]

So Rodgers plan is losing 8-0 in some kind of weird Stevie tribute kind of way.
Thats all I can gather from his game plan.
And that we managed to get the neccessary amount of players on the pitch.

 

[KopRed]

He started with a midfielder in defense and has now replaced him with another midfielder in defense.

Markmc just tweeted Rodgers is gone

Wow..So he was sacked at half time.

 

[gkmacca]

I'm afraid this is inexcusable. He's got to go.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Oh FFS. Newscatle 1-0.

 

[DHSC]

Wow..So he was sacked at half time.

You know what I mean 😉

 

[FoxForceFive]

Wow..So he was sacked at half time.

I assume that's conjecture or he was told before the match.

 

[Bradley]

Oh FFS. Newscatle 1-0.

This day stinks.

 

[MaBigTip]

Markmc just tweeted Rodgers is gone

Please be true.

 

[DHSC]

No fucking support for Coutinho

 

[cloggypop]

Not often you get the chance to see a 3-7-0 set up.

 

[bob1992]

Terrible, I've defended him to the hilt, but our last two performances are the sign of a side with no direction and no confidence.

There are some really good players out there being made to look like amateurs, we've also got alot of deadwood too, but no matter who plays it's been the same abject outcome. No system, players struggling in alien roles and no attempt to address the issues that are staring everyone blatantly in the face.

Can playing in a position where he's been getting exploited for the last two months, when we've got a young lad on the sidelines who can defend there well. No Ibe, after just signing a new deal, no willingness to give Sinclair a game when our other attackers have clearly got no future.

I'm lost to where we go from here, but we can't let it carry on, I'd have given him a season if he'd used the remainder of this one to show that he can learn from his mistakes and start to look towards next season with the younger players and lads he's spent alot of money on, only to sideline.

I didn't agree with Macca about their being something rotten at the core of the club, but there's clearly alot of politics going on behind closed doors and it's translating onto the pitch.

To go from last seasons brilliance to this pathetic, weak minded fiasco is appalling and astounding. Time to change.

Finally.

 

[DHSC]

What a godawful corner

 

[Mors]

Not often you get the chance to see a 3-7-0 set up.

Rafa used to love a good old 460 with a crouchy on the wing

 

[DHSC]

Rafa used to love a good old 460 with a crouchy on the wing

Didnt he only do it once?

 

[KopRed]

Did Toure sign a new contract by the way?

 

[Best Believe It]

Ibe is brilliant

Post match interview bingo:

Individual errors
Group mentality
Much improved second half

 

[FoxForceFive]

Ibe is brilliant

He sticks out like a sore thumb in this shower of shite.

 

[KopRed]

Allen, Henderson, Lucas and even Gerrard should be ashamed. Ibe did more in 15 mins than any of them combined.

Yep, I'd add:

Lack of goals
Penalty appeal at 3-0

You're forgetting the one he's used about 30 times this season - 'started too slowly'
