Posted my thoughts on this earlier today in the BR thread:
"Just saw the Palace game, a bit late due to work commitments. What a shambles.
Reading through the comments - something has to change in the management group. Rodgers is more and more being proved out of his depth. In saying that sacking him won't help. I think he needs to be given fresh backup staff so that more objective opinions on player performance and squad culture can be brought in. As we are all seeing post- Madrid, some guys play regardless of form and that can't make for a healthy squad environment.
So I would be getting Steve Clarke in ASAP, as has been suggested before, to sort out the defence, but also getting someone else in there, not necessarily to replace Pascoe, but another voice in that engine room. Someone who knows the club and has been there done it - a Sammy Lee, a John Aldridge, an Alan Hansen. They don't have to have been a great coach but they need to have the innate authority to pull Rodgers into line rather than following his misguided approaches.
As far as I'm concerned it is actually dangerous to leave Rodgers with his current autonomy, he needs to be given direction and if he doesn't like it let him walk. We can't be led to relegation by one mans stubbornness. "
I would find it hard to get behind ex-Man U staff in the dugout.
