Let's be honest.... Madrid only had to play 25 mins of a 90 minute match to beat them with ease. First twenty they let Liverpool steam around getting nowhere.... From twenty minutes in Madrid switched up a gear until half time..... Second half they strolled around for fun without breaking a sweat..... 25 minutes is all they had to play for.... Ha ha 25 mins to destroy the fun.

If we're using car metaphors it was like a -2 morning and you've got no de-icer for the windscreen and you have to sit in the car with the engine on doing nothing but clear the windows, then you can put it into 1st and get going.
 
Sam Allardyce........

"“There are two types of coaches. There’s coaches like me who weigh up the opposition and ask the team to adjust. Fergie was similar. Jose [Mourinho] is similar. Then there’s Arsène, who won’t adjust. There’s Brendan [Rodgers], who looks like he won’t adjust. There’s Manuel Pellegrini, who looks like he won’t adjust, even in the Champions League. He seems to favour what he’s got. City are quite open.
“Their [Wenger/Rodgers/Pellegrini’s] philosophy is different to ours. Ours is more about who are we playing against. Their philosophy is more, ‘We always play this way’, and they won’t change, they carry doing on the same thing. That’s why you can beat them."

To be fair two of the managers 'Big Sam' is trying to dismiss have won the league and a few other pots, him and Brenda really aren't in the same bracket.
 
The way Rodgers has handled the Balotelli situation is terrible. He practically hung him out to dry after 6 games when he was overly critical of some lacklustre performances. He's using him as a scapegoat and a shield to hide behind Liverpool fans who are sussing him out.

Superb.
 
I wonder if the tired one was out partying until 3.00 am on Thursday after the 'shock' defeat by Real. Poor Mario, been 'hung out to dry' big time by Mr. Clever.

It is terrible for his relationship with Balotelli, but its considerably more effective in concealing how underwhelming some of his other signings and his tactics have performed. If Sturridge comes back, Balotelli gets dropped and they pick up again he will probably start licking himself again.

I will say this now though that if Balotelli is dumped by that lot, we should definately buy him at the no doubt greatly reduced price. The only thing managers havent seemed to try yet with the lad is to absolutely terrify him into playing well, and we have Duncan on our coaching staff.

The thought of this makes me smile. Can Dunc do it without us signing the cnut though? He's Terrell Owens alla Italia. Swerve. Poison.
