We had the majority of possession so there was less need to press. The defence wasn’t the issue we had enough of the ball to win the match, the lack of creativity out wide, out of form players in the middle and Vardys lost touch has killed us. Yeah our defenders had majority of possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His two main signings - Perez and Praet- haven’t set the world alight Wouldn't trust him with it's anyway. We currently seem to have a good and successful system for recruitment, why change it for Rodgers, he's a coach with a dubious record when it comes to recruitment. If it's currently isn't broke, it don't need fixing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest An Sionnach Posted 29 February 2020 Share Posted 29 February 2020 Conceding a goal happens , Liverpool concede against lesser teams , but they make sure they score one more than the opposition , we just can't do that at the moment , we must find the man or men to score when Vardy doesn't or draws and narrow defeats will become the norm.

Some of these players need to be told that they're performing way below expectations and that's not okay. I don't know if Rodgers is the manager to do that. Agreed, I wont name and shame on this occasion but there was certain players backing off casually when Norwich had the ball, and things like pressing is part of working hard, and these players seem to have an attitude that games like Norwich are won before the ball is kicked. The manager as you said needs to make it clear this isnt acceptable. We were successful under Claudio (and great escape under Pearson) because we countered with pace, we got the ball forward whilst other team was in transition, in that type of strategy sitting back is fine as it gets the other team into an offensive shape so they can be caught out on the counter. When playing possession you have to press to maintain hold of the ball especially to keep the team penned in, if you not prepared to press, then possession doesnt work unless the other team is scared of you. What is happening now in most games, is we get pressed when we have the ball leading to stray passes or back passes, when other teams have the ball they run at us, which is proving very effective as we dont close in and press. I can see the problems a mile off, as to why they not been addressed, only the manager and team knows. There is also the issues of young player's been ambitious and having heads turned as well as been mentally weak, these are all possible factors which will only get worse as the likes of Vardy wont be around much longer.

When asked about our recent dip in form he said that it's normal and all teams do it. This is giving the players an excuse and a get-out for not performing, almost as if a slump in form is unavoidable. I bet Klopp isn't saying this to his players.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I thought we were scouting Praet before Rodgers arrival and obviously Tielemans too. As far as I understood, it's only Perez that Rodgers had input on and he serves as a good example of how to waste 30m! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s a good question, your summation is probably about the size of it, which would be a good thing as that sort of structure would limit Congerton’s influence. The problem with him at Celtic I think was he had too much influence, via proxy of course through Rodgers. Rodgers had complete control and final say in all aspects of the football operation including recruitment so it basically went Congerton would identify the player and Rodgers would have utmost trust in him and we’d then try and sign the player. Leicester thankfully seem to have a better structure than we do/did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left and season after they were back to fighting for 6th. Rodgers doesn’t look like he knows how to change it, I agree. His subs are weird mid games too. Absolutely mate. I my opinion it shows how good a manager Ranieri was for us. Look how many times he would reshuffle during the game. Sub here, sub there and we would generally win. At the moment I don't think he can relieve pressure from the lads on the field. I have been saying it and strongly believe that Rodgers is a very good coach at developing players but I don't think he is a great manager. His substitutions confuse me and doesn't seem to motivate the players mid game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Manwell Pablo Posted 29 February 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 29 February 2020 I think it’s all a bit of an over reaction from a fan base that’s getting a bit over entitled to be honest. And this place is getting to the stage where it’s a bit of a joke in that regard. Hate to say but it’s becoming that annoying big club forum we all used to moan about in years gone by, we seem to think we have a god given right to beat anyone bar Liverpool. In terms of this year the points against Wolves and Chelsea are decent results, Burnley Southampton and yesterday were shit granted, you’ve got good results against West Ham and Newcastle to balance that out, it’s disappointing but it is not the end of the world. You’ve also got to remember we’ve had this years player of the season either missing or playing hampered for the duration of that. The upcoming run of fixtures is key, five very winnable games before we go to Arsenal, hopefully Wilf is back fit now and we can get Vardy firing again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 29 February 2020 Share Posted 29 February 2020 It better not be player power again. Ranieri, Puel, Rodgers. De Laet said they won in 15/16 by ignoring Ranieri when they were struggling in games. But it has to stop somewhere. Ain’t good if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
