The problems run far deeper than the Southampton lads and Borini.

 

Gerrard and Henderson have been fucking wank, we can't pass, we can't shoot, there's no zip in our attacking play, there's no hunger, we can't defend as a unit or individually, teams have figured out that we shit ourselves if you press us.

We are in bad shape.

 

Poor individually at the back, poor collectively at the back. Lacking impetus in the middle and predictable up front.

 

Needs sorting soon, before this turns into a rot. A lot for Rodgers to think about and do, and some players need to take a long hard look at themselves.

I can't stand the guy. BUT. When Mourinho's teams are playing fucking dirge, they go through a period where they drill the defence and grind out 0-0 or 1-0 for 6-8 weeks. They then slightly tweak the defense-attack mix to be more positive and go on from there. We just can't fucking do it. Two primary reasons:

 

1) Rodgers does not know how to set up a team to defend and he clearly doesn't know a decent centre back when he sees one.

 

2) We don't have a defensive midfielder who can screen the two clueless central defenders Rodgers has signed. Instead we have Stevie, an ageing attacking midfielder, who really should be playing 15 games a season now tops - in a role where he doesn't have to defend much. Last year we got away with it because mosts teams shat themselves based on Sterling/Suarez/Sturridge. 

 

I'm sick of seeing this fucking comedy football now. Get some players in who can defend or fuck off.

I thought our transfer policy was going to change as we could now attract players who wouldn't have previously come because of no champions league? That's what Ayre said.

 

Every player we bought would've come anyway.

 

and then we went and spent vast amount of money on Southampton players who we didn't even need whilst ignoring the one who'd actually make a difference in our team.
