ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[LinekersLegs]

@itvfootball: #LFC fans, what will you think of Brendan Rodgers if he does play a weaker team in Madrid?
Some interesting reaponses, some are saying will look better if they get smashed, others defending it because of the Chelsea game. But would say the majority feel like these guys.

@CMGtralalalala: @itvfootball not happy, its the Champions of Europe and were going to rest players after waiting 5 years to get bk to nights like this.

@richard686970: @itvfootball He's worked tirelessly for the last 2 years for nights like tonight and he's going to play Rickie Lambert? I don't get it

I'd be livid as a player if he rested me against Real at the Bernabau

Rodgers is a complete phoney.

But that might be their only chance to get CL again next year.

Yeah, I suppose so. Rodgers, though, just cant hack two games per week. I'm pretty sure he'd calculate that if his job rests on a top four place this season then with one game per week he could possibly squeeze past Everton, Arsenal and Spurs all involved in Europe and a United team still looking flaky.

Do you know what Dave, even if they have only one game per week all four clubs will still be above them........

 

[peteblue]

If I were Rodgers I'd put myself in the team, he's getting shafted anyway so he might as well be able to say he'd played at RM.............

Defo one of them will, pete.

Brendan though: he has confidence in his filosofee, so he does, right enuff...

Brendan Rodgers has suggested that his captain may not begin tonight's game against Real Madrid. Whatever his reasons, it's a very delicate moment for a manager to drop a club legend.

I'm devastated I will be learning things while this is on. I do love a good old fashioned bumming.

I'm missing it and I missed the last one too. It's like every now and again, the universe will give Liverpool the dry bumming they deserve, but will redress the balance by throwing some sort of life obstacle in my way to ensure I don't go doing something silly like enjoy myself.

Gerrard and Sterling must be fuming if it's true

 

[ToffeeDan]

Who'll give him a quid for his "Everton to finish 17th" prediction table?

I bet Stevie Me will remember it fondly that he didn't get to play against the best side in Europe one more time.

I'd be livid as a kopite

 

[Dithering Dougie]

The rumours are looking true

I reckon Brendan is going to have to change that poppy to a white feather for Saturday's game against Chelsea

 

[kenada_blue]

Gerrard and Sterling must be fuming if it's true

Absolutely.

 

[Del]

Could be the night he loses the dressing room completely

He's basically telling them (If the team news is true) that he has zero faith in them beating Madrid, Now the man on the street might know that but as a man manager he's showing no confidence in some of his players, Gerrard better than Pirlo and Sterling best young talent in Europe only a few months ago by this clown

So will Gerrard which is far more important for Rodgers short term wellbeing.

If you are going to enter a power struggle with your captain about his game time there are probably better times to do it.
