He should be more aggressive like Ferguson or Mourinho and put more pressure on refs. He should have at least said that we deserved a bit of luck for a change.

I know what you mean and that's the way things have been done in the Premiership era but to me that's a culture Ferguson introduced and I like
that Rodgers goes his own way.

This fella is terrific with the media and he represents the club perfectly in my opinion, honesty and integrity is a blessing not a negative and
f@ck what everyone else does or has come to expect from that whiskey nosed tw@t and the ego at Chelsea.

Rodgers should be applauded for his honest appraisal, but regrettably it wont get any coverage because the sports media thrive on drama.

Maybe he was attempting to get his £8k back from the FA  a rare blip for him.

Hey I'm not against fair-play and sportsmanship but only if it goes both ways. Unfortunately we've been terribly treated by both the media and referees and I've never heard any manager who's played against us say that we've been unlucky to lose against his team (even though we have been unlucky a lot of times).

Rodgers was very fair with his comments and what he's doing is respectable, but saying things like that just takes some pressure off the refs for future games so I'm not so sure if that's the smartest thing to do.

He has a tendency to pull opponents' shirt in our penalty area during set pieces and had the refs saw it, they could have given a penalty. He did it multiple times in so many games this season. Hope he won't repeat them.

Was it a pen? To me, technically it was because Sterling is light weight and he was pushed albeit softly. Many refs would not have given a pen, but in this game, the ref's decision was more favourable to us.
Great to see Danny back and scoring and celebrating with his wavy dance.

Our defending was shocking at times.  Gonna give credit to a couple of spots that may seem a bit odd.

Aside from our usual suspects, I think Cissokho played much better today.  The lad has had a nightmare of a season so far
but I thought it looked like he's settling into the side and the league.  People always talk about giving players time to  "settle in"
maybe it's happening. 

Our midfield was appalling.  Inverting Lucas and Gerrard is something that should happen on the training pitch.  Not during a League game.

Gotta give credit where it is due though and that's to Mark Hughes.  He's turned a Rugby team into an actual Football team. 

When a kid you have coached gets signed by a club you will obviously have an interest as to how they play.
Hoping Juan Agudelo does good things at Stoke upon his move from the MLS.

Suarez, Sterling & Sturridge = awesome!
