There was little reaction from the Kop last night over this supposed furore over the shirt swapping ,but I get the distinct impression from last night if Rodgers blows this
out of all proportion he may find the fans who pay to watch this dross not too accommodating ....In truth whilst he's a good manager he's possibly developing a reputation
for acting out of sheer cowardice for insisting on playing Gerrard week in and week out ! I think its decisions like including the likes of him and Johnson mate ,that are
grating on the fans more than anything else ,plus the added distraction of ritually lambasting Balotelli will certainly not aid his cause.
I don't think it's any coincidence mate that our pressing game has gradually regressed as the likes of Gerrard and Johnson have got older.
When Brendan first arrived our pressing used to tail off on the hour mark, now 20 minutes is seemingly all we have got in us. 20 minutes pressing for a team of professional athlete's is scandalous.
