I lost count of all the players he made look uncomfortable last season by affording them the wrong roles
Yup, and don't forget playing Ings as a right forward in a 4-3-3 when he has been a poacher his whole life.
Rodgers has set a precedent about putting "Squares into Rounds....or is that the other way around".
a)Sakho as a LB.
b)Gerrard as a DM.
c)Can as a RB. Hendo as a RW, RB.
d)Lallana as a false nine (in that thrashing against stoke).
e)Mignolet as a Sweeper Keeper.
f)Skrtel and Lovern as a CB pairing (one of them backs off when faced with a threat. Another rushes out for any scenario. We will not win any offside decisions when those two play together)..
g)Sahin as an Attacking Midfield (While Gerrard plays as a deep laying playmaker..go figure out).
These are only examples at the top of my mind. If I sit down and list all the senarios...... I can also write a 200 page dossier
Like I have mentioned....Rodgers has no problem playing players out of position when he is faced with pressure. I am really dreading the image of Firmino playing as a wingback in the upcoming season.
