Just want to throw this out there..... Our main problem as been Goals this season. A injured striker (Sturridge) two more that did not turn up Lambert/Balotteli... Now under Rodgers and under his system we have created chances, but have simple not converted them, where as the games have progressed it has embolden teams and given them the confidence to know that they can get something out of the game. As this season has progress further; teams were seeing that if they attacked from the beginning they may get a goal and that we(LFC) would more than likely to press up to and around their the goal area, but were highly unlikely to have little to no chance to convert it, thus becoming more and more desperate taking more and more chance and leave more and more gaps.
The games earlier this season against Man Utd which saw us lose 3 -0 we created far more chances than Utd but failed to convert,same can be said about the Everton 1-1,Hull 0-0, and a whole raft of games
Yes..... The manager can be held responsible for the players bought into the club, but in the case of Mario Balotelli I have to wonder just how much input BR had on this signing.... Remember we just sold Suarez. Maybe it was felt that we(LFC) and it's supporters needed a marquee signing
I thought at the time that the signing of Rick Lambert was odd, But Mario Balotelli's signing was just weird. I believe that the only way that would make sense was if we were playing him at the head of a midfield diamond behind Sturridge/Suarez but had we not sold Suarez?...
But I digress,
Our football as a whole has been very good under Brendan Rodgers this season, the conversion rate has been very poor, and the lack of passion,Stoke, need i say more...The confidence seems low thought the team especially the last four or five games, I believe this is in part due to (1) Gerrard leaving... and (2) Raheem Sterling,s refusal to sign anew deal... I feel If Sturrigde had been present and not in the state things would not have reach this far with Sterling. Sturridge could have and maybe would have talked him round...
I will end by saying that BR should be given another season to see how we(LFC) progress... BUT... If he has loss the dressing room then I can not see how he can stay. If so we need to bring in a new manager as so as poss' for they will need to sign the type's of player that they need
