I genuinely can't see our performances improving in the near future.
I think Rodgers has to hold himself responsible for our poor performances. Firstly, he's the manager. He decides which players to recruit and which players to offload. If our players are lacking in desire, then it's Rodgers responsibility to either straighten them up or move them on to a different club. Secondly, Rodgers had an absolute shocker with that starting eleven. Four centre backs? Really? Obviously two were deployed as full backs, but it showed with our lack of support in the wide positions. Thirdly, Rodgers has to have the courage to drop both Lucas and Gerrard. These two have under performed time and time again yet they are still walking into the team. If Mourinho can drop Mata, Terry and Lampard, then Rodgers has to do the same regardless of that players profile.
Some people are inclined to slate Raheem, but he, unlike the others, had the courage to run with the ball and to make attacking runs. It was frustrating his first touch, but maybe another one of our players wouldn't have even decided to make that run. Sturridge looked selfish at best of times and I couldn't blame him. If I was him I wouldn't want to pass to any other donkey on the team and then Aspas yes, complete crap. I questioned as to why we signed him ages ago and I still question it now. Complete waste of money which again, Rodgers needs to take full responsibility for. £7m is just loose change? Is it F**k.
We need to improve on last season. That is, achieve top 6 with a respectable amount of points. Rodgers has had money to spend, and now he has to provide. Pressure is on!
