Have to be completely honest, this is the first time I've woken the morning after a game we've lost and still be as angry as I was last night!
Sterling and Borini should've started for me, keep the 4-4-2 with players In their natural position!
But apart from that can't really fault Rodgers for anything.
Agree with many on here, lack of competition seems to be a real problem!
Reina: wasn't really at fault yesterday, but still been poor.
Enrique: can't play short passes without trying to flick them round the corner with the outside if the boot. Gave away possession on countless occasions last night! Just not Liverpool quality in my opinion!
Agger: don't know what's got into him the last couple of months, I still think he's class but need to up his game fast before we cement a 10th place finish.
Carragher: solid as usual but didn't have the legs when Lukaku came on, can't blame the man for the result yesterday!
Johnson: yes, probably does need some competition, but he, like every other player, just seemed to have a really off night. And he's been one of our top performers this season!
Downing: best player for us yesterday but still nowhere near good enough for this football club!
Lucas: played quite well, did his job and was let down by his teammates who didn't seem to show any desire, looks like he's getting closer to the form he showed last year.
Gerrard: off night, strangely didn't seem that interested, but it's Gerrard so say no more.
Henderson & Shelvey: both were extremely poor, but both did at last did have a decent level of effort, but very difficult for two young players when they're out of their natural position.
Suarez: very disappointing from him, could've done a lot more in the game but still looked like the one of the very few who really wanted to Win the game!
In all honesty, it's not so much for me that we lost the game, at home, to West Brom. In fact what we as Liverpool supporters want is to see some heart and desire to put themselves on the line for the team, the club and the fans, that's all I want to see as a liverpool fan, if we loose, we loose so be it. But we should be able to walk away from a match saying "at least our boys showed some fight!" Yes, we were unlucky with some of our efforts being saved well by Foster, but we were playing as though we were already 5-0 nil up!
Overall, I know that there are going to be nights like this, every team has them. Our touch was off and we didn't seen to have that bit of luck, however, these players need to learn that it's not except able to go to the Emerites and Eitihad stadium and play to such a high level and then perform so poorly just because it's not a team in the top six!
