Someone's bound to do a photoshop of Rodgers placing a wreath at Moses' feet.

Stevie has been getting some stick, but his defenders are hitting back........

From the Gerrard Thread..

"Quote from: RedBeast on Today at 01:22:23 PM
Because the 433 allows the two midfielders to get forward, the 433 allows 5 players to take up attacking positions. As the 433 (as we play it) has the two advanced midfielders pressing higher up the pitch, it means that Gerrard is left isolated should the press be broken. He then lacks the short area quickness to cover. Once he is beaten, the defence are exposed. In a 4231, if he is beaten there is generally another midfielder to cover which means that the defence are less exposed.

I don't think he's expected to 'cover' in that situation, he's expected to 'delay'. As the opposition breaks, he's the central player in a back three. Infact he - or Henderson - still is, if we've been in possession, pushed up and 'rotated' the 2-1 to 1-2 in the course of building an attack.

The difference in the 2 is that during more sustained periods of defensive shape, he has much more lateral movement to make (and vertical, pressing) and will need to track runners (which, at the risk of repeating myself from older discussions, should be the role of the 2, not the 1, in the 1-2).


The upshot being, if the manager wanted to create a role purely to protect Gerrard from onerous defensive duties, it would be the '1', not the '2'. But in any shape, there are numerous players not doing their jobs, or doing them well enough. This thread simply seems to work on the preconception that it's just Gerrard or 'the' role. Even when we don't play 'the' role."


See...that's how it works....and we just thought he was crap and kept slipping over

Libpoolfc in new race row.

Hadn't noticed this one. It apparently happened a few days ago. LFC tweeted Happy New Year to its Jewish fans...it got a lot of abuse...they pulled it and then got stick from Jewish groups because they'd pandered to racism....



...so then they have another go with this: “LFC believes in the practice of religious freedom — we seek a world in which we can send good wishes to supporters without hateful responses.”

I think Liverpool should leave the ethnic/race/religious PR one side...they've got the touch of a rapist on the subject.

They have a lot of experience regarding racism though, in fact Suarez personally made Rodgers a better human being through various methods, including racism.

But they are quite subtly wrong here, they should stick to smiling with dismayed Fire Chiefs holding up shirts and laying wreathes at disaster areas, that's clearly their main forte.

Casual racism is something they havn't got the hang of yet, but they are clearly working on it.

Heres something to read...and re-read if you feel a bit down about anything. A legal high.

Brendan Rodgers admits 'in transition' Liverpool are back to square one after summer of change

• Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool are in transition
• He compared it to the situation when he arrived at Anfield
• The Reds sold Luis Suarez in the summer and replacement Mario Balotelli is yet to hit top form
• Rodgers' side lost 1-0 to Basle in the Champions League on Wednesday
• Liverpool are 14th in the Premier League and host West Brom on Saturday

It is worse than "square one".

When he arrived at square one Suarez was there to take him to square two.

It is like Snakes and Ladders for Brent.

Suarez left, he rolled the dice and landed on a square with a snake's gaping mouth bringing him back down.

'Not a factor'

I love the way they hang on his every word. Especially when he speaks so much sense.......

Hahaha, this needs more attention. I'm just going to start saying "not a factor" to arguments that don't fit in with my opinion.

 

[Khalekan]

I have to say; i'm finding it hard to laugh at these idiots right now. I'm extremely disappointed with our season and laughing at them is the last thing on my mind. Just being honest.

Just laugh anyway.

Laughing at their travails always gives me a lift no matter how we are doing at the time.

He's always beating me to the punch, I'm sure he's taken more glorious potential rep off me than I off him.
