Why is Steve Clarke being heralded as the answer? It's not as if we had a great defence under Kenny is it?

I think the "Bottom 5 posters of all-time" thread came a little early for you. Stick around and you should make the next one.
OF COURSE IT IS! Lucas should be playing to ensure agendas are vindicated. Both shouldn't be on pitch anymore with their current form, and I don't think Lucas will ever return to the level he was reaching before his two injuries. He'll be in Brazil before he's 30 imo.
It's odd, isn't it? Last season at this stage we seemed shagged out after half time. We don't seem like that this time, but only because we don't seem engaged in the first half. As has been said by others, maybe it's planned for building up stamina as the season progresses, but that doesn't work if we play so badly now we bequeath a points deficit to the fitter team that we become when winter arrives. Last season, from about February onwards, we had three players buzzing around every opponent when he had possession. We're so different now it's bizarre.
A lot of questions for Rodgers to address right now:
1. Has he got the balls to drop Gerrard? I'm starting to seriously doubt it.
2. Why the fuck did he not replace Mignolet? Why??? It seems from all accounts that he had his doubts, so why leave it? Loads of us could see he'd never be up to it long term. Really frustrating.
3. Is he remotely capable of organising a defence? His two main centre half signings look like expensive duds, but worse is that they look even worse once they get on the pitch for us.

I remember it being pretty good that season tbh. Weren't Skrtel and Agger being touted for big money moves the following summer?
It was scoring goals that was the problem back then.
Moreno is class. As is Lovren. Sakho has yet to put in even a single fuxking performance to justify his tag. He's average. Manq needs time. Ming is running out of time and fast. The manager is utterly clueless at arranging a defence. I'd love to hear a coherent argument to the contrary.
It may seem fickle to some after last years 'success' but I don't give a shit. Sort the defence out. Embarrassing shite.

This.
Massive fuck up by BR if our defensive problems havent been rectified, which is looking likely with every passing game. Can't believe we spent 20m on lovern and 18m on sakho, best part of 40m on two poor CB. Surely we could have two proper world class CB for that money? Lovern has had one good season snd sakho did well in a poor league.
As for Ming, don't get me started. As for valdes potentially signing, not so sure he's much better.
As for Stevie, it's clear he ain't the player he was in shy position, he shouldn't be automatic starter,certainly not 3 games in 8 days. I don't think he has the ballets drop him really. Should though, might get a good response from stevie. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeands...be-man-v-circle-line-london-underground-video
Borini over Lambert??? Can't workk this one out.
Balo work rate has surprised me, he's been pretty decent despite having very little to work off.
Massive fuck up letting ibe go out on loan. He has the energy and pace to change games.
At the moment finding it very hard to think we'll be in top 4.
I thought Zola made a lot of sense after the match. I can't remember his exact words but his point was that Liverpool clearly work a shit load on how they operate in possession of the ball but maybe don't work nearly as hard on how they are when not in possession.
I guess that makes sense, we don't seem to have any discipline or shape when we lose the ball and don't press particularly well. I'd like us to be a Rodgers team with the ball and a Rafa team without it.

Is Valdes really the answer, though? Why skimp so much on something so easily improved?
everything will be fine when Allen and Studge come back but what when one someone is missing. Rodgers has to fukcing make better decisions than that...BR creates this problem himself and he as to solve it. We cant blame the team everytime. I would already start playing Can in Gerrard's role in some games once we recover our form
That's the problem we should have solved this summer. We can't be reliant on or two players...
You are hardly in trouble!
And of course you are missing Sturridge but who you are really missing is Suarez. Any team missing their two main strikers from last season is going to struggle.
Realistically I think you only had an outside chance of the title this season. Chelsea and City are well ahead of the rest of us at the moment. That chance is possibly gone now.
Top 4 was the goal and still is. By the end of the season it will be close between yourself, us and Arsenal. Any of the 3 could finish 3rd and equally any of the 3 could finish 5th.
Our rebuilding is far from over and we will still lose stupid games when we should be winning.
Arsenal aren't without their problems although at this early stage they do look the strongest of the 3.
How long is can out for?
Until someone kicks it.
I dont see where it says Lucas is the man of the match.
I didn't see it, but I thought top 4 would be hard this season, but we've been worse than I anticipated. I think we're in trouble for top 4. Early days, but it's not looking good.
