Today we learned its going to be a long hard season. We lacked creativity and it reminded me of Brendan's first season in charge. We have no answer for teams that park the bus. Sterling must never be rested again ever. 61m on Lallana, Markovic and Balotelli and I think they created 3 chances amongst them. We need a defensive coach and if we have one then we need a NEW one. Team ratings : Mignolet - 6 - flapped at a few crosses Manquillo - 6 - didnt do much Lovren - 6 - had a couple of chances from corners Moreno - 5 - really needs to concentrate Gerrard - 5 - largely anonymous with the odd hollywood ball Lallana - 5 - one good chance Henderson - 7 - ran and ran both attacking and getting back Coutinho - 5 - quiet game with some shots over from distance Markovic - 4 - started brightly , unheard of from around 15th min Balotelli - 5 - never looked a threat Subs : Sterling - 6 Lambert - 5 Borini - 3 P.s. feel free to pick my points apart
We're going to see what most people said before the season started. A 2 horse race for the title and 3 or 4 clubs fighting it out for 3rd place Probably. Maybe..
It's clear that, despite spending a lot of money, Rodgers failed to address the weaknesses within the squad.
