Clearly upset and handwriting affected by rage...
I may feel a bit better if Palace get a win
You'd start again with a new manager? I understand your frustration but that is a big step
Out of interest who would you have come in?
Rodgers is in year 3 and problems are as stark as in season 1.... It's that way and nobody should deny that

a) Rodgers sorting out this season and finishing in the top 4? If so then more towards yes but it will be on the back of Sturridge coming back in and giving us a threat up front.
b) Will achieve another great year like last and possibly win the league? No cause I don't see him finding the transfer targets we need, nor do I trust him to spend big money anymore. I don't see Rodgers and the committee unearthing a Suarez type player or convincing a Reus type player.
c) Balotelli? Got to go in Jan. Too inconsistent in his effort and so far only 2 goals and none in the league. He'll never be the player he could have been and frankly not the right player for us.

Did Mario play for Milan this season before joining us? If so, we're stuck with him until at least the summer.
Im losing patience with Rodgers. Dont know who would come in though. If I had to bring someone in to save our season )and ensure we dont chuck away players of the quality of Suso) Id bring back Rafa!!!
Im not saying Rodgers out though, il back him until FSG make the call.

For me BR has always been a manager who isn't afraid to change things when they're not going to plan, or drop a player when they're not playing well or even take a risk with a younger ie Flanagan (where'd he go?)
This season he seems like a different man, some of his decisions have been pure baffling. Persisting with Balotelli as a lone striker? Skrtel and Lovren in the middle still? Johnson playing every game? Same every match, the 4-3-3 and pure and simply it's just not working. I know we have Suarez gone and Sturridge out but the entire flair and spark has been ripped out of our team and I think right now Rodgers doesn't quite know how to fix it. On top of that it looks like we've wasted an awful lot of money this Summer. Balotelli (£16m) is not looking like the player we need, Lovren doesn't look like the commanding CB we expected (£20m?) Lallana in and out of the team (£25m) and Marcovic didn't even make the squad today (£20m)!
I think our team needs a serious reshuffle. We've been worked out and we have no way to counter it. Hands up who thought when we went 2-1 down today, or even 1-0 down to Newcastle last week that we'd get back in to it? Not me. We look like a team bereft of any confidence, a team of strangers. I don't know what needs to change, we don't even look convincing with 2 up top. Sterling looks a bit burnt out, Henderson is losing form and Gerrard carries the weight of all creativity in midfield while having the burden of shielding our awful defence.
I think we need to try a combination of Lucas and Can in midfield, add Toure in defence to replace Skrtel or Lovren, and persist with either Manquillo or Flanagan (when fit at RB). Up top? Well our options look pretty shoddy, maybe try a combination of Borini and Sterling up there? It's got pace in it at least, I just think Balotelli nor Lambert fit the players we have in our team and our play is suffering as a result. Maybe chuck in Coutinho and Markovic and base our entire game around pace and movement, with runners from midfield.
