Perhaps you should look it up instead.

“A forceful and bitter verbal attack on someone or something”. It was nothing of the sort.

I don’t need to but so that you don’t have to I’ll tell you. It is an angry critical speech or article. 

 

So, I repeat the question - Please explain how the post of @StriderHiryu that you were referring to is distribe ?

 

I’ll quote it in a post below so you don’t have to flip back a page.

Very interesting game. Despite the result I think Rodgers deep down won't be that happy with the game. I think tactically he might be happy, but not happy with the execution.

 

We started off in a 4231 with Riccy P at Left Back. Actually I think this was OK, Ricardo did well and was clearly selected to deal with Salah. No doubt the original plan was to have JJ and Riccy P deal with Mane and Salah, with Salah taking precedent. Salah's goal was down to bad play from Tielemans so I think tactically the setup worked well. Amartey was selected for his physicality to deal with Mane and though Mane had him on toast a few times, overall I'd give Amartey a 7/10 and was solid.

 

For the first 75 minutes our biggest issue was not being able to play out of the first press, losing the ball over and over again. Tactically we made chances against Liverpool and should have taken the lead with Vardy, so I feel Rodgers got the tactical gameplan right, but the team didn't execute. Perhaps Maddison was playing a bit too high up the pitch against a team as good as Liverpool.

 

Second half Rodgers deserves respect for going for it. It felt like Perez was brought on to work hard so Barnes could have his shackles removed, and boy did he get going!

 

So does that mean next time we play that we go to attack Liverpool? For me that's still a no because our pressing game is not as good as Man City's or Liverpool's. For me the best thing Rodgers has done this season is not try to match up with those teams but give them a different problem to solve, and that's why we have 6 points out of 9 against the too.

Here you go @David Hankey

He'll only go elsewhere if he feels he's taken us as far as he can take us. He's going to have a UCL season at least with us so no need to worry yet.

 

He's clearly the real deal to turn it around again after the end of last season.

And the good thing about that is we would then be in a position to replace him with a manager of the same Caliber as we would be an attractive club to manage
