Rodgers never managed to make us threatening with one striker on the pitch, only with two or none.
I don't understand then why persist with it.
 
Not many out there playing for the manager..... a d not for the club..... Piss poor "couldnt give a shit" performa ce from every single one.
 
Allo peeps. Too busy watching the awesome cricket to watch this. How have we been?
 
Ibe and Sterling ought to be doing more out wide for us with their pace, but they keep slowing down once they get the ball and drawing double cover which they then can't shake off. Offered next to zero threat and mainly made bad decisions or passes in the first half. They really have to step up after the break, or we'll keep on being restricted to taking pot shots from way out or trying to thread needles down the centre.
 
God I hate Pulis.

10 men behind the ball playing at home in a dead rubber for them, the cunt.
 
The pace is all wrong. When we get the ball in the final third everyone stops & turns back to goal. If Ibe & Sterling pushed up as countinho ran with it at his feet they'd be fucked.
 
It's not Pulis' fault. It's ours. We should be able to break down these sorts of teams, or at least knock on the door constantly and put them under real pressure. We've had the same problem with bus parking teams for ages.

It was infinitely more entertaining than the first half.

Ha ha! For the record Jimmy has taken 3 glorious wickets Leaving the windies 249-5 (only 84 ahead) game on. 😎

Oh and I hope the reds step up in the second half.....
 
Ibe and sterling should be working with balo, rather than being a good distance from him

They can also help Coutinho with pace as FFF said

Exactly. The number of times the two guys just stopped and waited for the defenders to double up on them really drove me nuts. Take the damn ball and drive forward with it. Run, you lazy bastards. Run!

Yep, all the way back to Rafa days - no ideas when facing 10 behind the ball. We are vulnerable to pressing and also vulnerable to parking the bus. We really rely on teams to have no clue.
 
Ref letting everything go. Normally that would make a nice end to end game. But this is shite

They nearly scored after Johnson decided not to defend
