Cant blame Rodgers for the team selection.
We sacked a club legend who reached both domestic finals in one season due to our league position.
Rodgers will be aiming to finish with as many points as possible in the league, and who can blame him.

Winning both cups wouldnt save his job if the league position is not good.

Youre saying he wanted us to get beat?

No, the team he picked should have won the game. And after that game, wouldnt surprise me if some of them never play for us again.
But I cant blame him for playing a weakened side in the cups. Our league position is more important and we dont have to squad to compete on 3 fronts

by **Ben Patrick** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 12:46 pm

what players shouldnt play for us again ?

the team was totally wrong, 2 centre midfielders ?

can anyone explain what formation we were supposed to be playing ?

I disagree tha team should have won the game
As soon as I heard the starting 11 I knew we were in trouble, as it turned out after 2 Fu*king minutes
He obviously went for a weaker team because he didnt really care if we won because the league position is more important than an FA cup

Bit daft that
Im sure he didnt teach him or tell him to do that?

No not really he clearly didn't teach his brat of a son to treat people, in particular women, with respect, that is bad parenting, and if a manager can't even manage his own child then how the hell do you expect him to manage a team of overpaid egomaniacs.

No team which includes Sterling, Coates and Allen can ever be EXPECTED to win. If he was looking at the Prem game on Wednesday then he should have just started with the reserves and brought on Suarez, Gerrard etc if needed. I actually think the reserrves would have had a better chance of winning, at least they would have put some f'ing effort in.

the team selection doesn't matter a jot when you defend as abysmally as we did yesterday. the three goals we conceded were sunday league standard. the manager also cannot legislate for players inability to pass the ball five yards.

that team yesterday didnt look like they had a clue of what formation or tactics they were using. they failed to do the basics and that is worrying.
im sorry but its up to rodgers to have these lads all fired up and singing from the same sheet regardless of whether they are 1st teamers or not. the manner in which we lost is disappointing and again were left with an battle on our hands before any changes were made.
its obvious the cups are not a priority of his and i cant blame him either for that but that side never showed up till the 60th minute yesterday and when we did we had a mountain to climb.

While i agree it didnt help playing 2 in midfield away in a game that was always going to be a battle.

I felt sorry for Allen and Henderson.

I put this post in the match thread but on reflection it's probably more pertinent in here.

Absolutely f'ucked of with Rodger the Dodger. Talks a good game I'll give him that BUT when it comes down to actually preparing his team ? in terms of tactical/management ability he's a f'ucking novice.

Against Oldham a team short on talent but loaded with grit, aggression and fu'ck all to lose, on a cold January day at their place on a pitch far removed from the billiard table Dodgers tippy tappy new generation are used too he shows Oldham f'uck all respect and fields a team that couldn't give a scooter a push start on a wet pavement.

It's one thing to support and give young players time too develop BUT I certainly didn't expect to be asked to support and applaud a "manager" of Liverpool Football Club who hasn't got the nous to field a side that can beat a team who in terms of collective ability are closer to park football than they are to the premiership.

The Dodger either arrogantly overestimated the ability of his side or grossly underestimated the opposition, whichever way you look at it he, not for the first time, got it badly wrong.

Just a look at the initial line up must surely have had many fans thinking "hold up, that looks very attacking but with a midfield of Allen and Henderson who the f'uck is actually gone win the ball and supply the attack ?

It's not f'ucking rocket science, and why Coates instead of Carragher marshalling the back four, why not Gerrard in mid field from the off ? . If the excuse is we've got Arsenal in mid week my response would be "so Fu*king what ? we didn't rest Suarez, a couple of days massage plus rest and other key players like Gerrard should be good to go again"

We weren't good and we can berate the performance of the players till the cows come home but as far as I'm concerned compare our squad to Oldhams squad given what was available too Rodger the Dodger this embarrassment was another SNAFU (Situation Normal All F'ucked Up) that I lay squarely at his feet.

Woof i replied in the match section but will again.

The formation and team selection was bizarre.
I get the team sent to me early by someone and when i read it i was confused, after about 5 minutes we were overrun in midfield and it should have been changed.

Not happy with Rodgers slagging the kids off after the match as well.
Bit of a kop out that for me.

He should shoulder the blame.
Kenny last season made sure in the cups that we put good sides out, Brendan would do well to learn from his example.

He seems to like doing that. I dont know if that is the best way to inspire the kids, as you have to expect some bad performances from inexperienced kids that are not used to playing in the first team. Brendan should learn to stop talking so much Sh*t in the press.

Rodgers is the manager the buck stops with HIM.IMHO he's not going to do it at LFC why the fook was kenny sacked? Because Rodgers is taking us backwards and all this c.rap about it being a long term project is a smokescreen by FSG to do everthing on the the cheap. John Henry invest in the club bigtime or FOOK OFF

Despite the fact that he's picked them he finds it easy to "slag" off younger inexperienced players who won't tell him to go f'uck himself, maybe that's why we're signing so many of them ?
