Playing Gerrard so much is putting sentiment before the right decision So is risking a key player against Everton when Spurs and Bolton are far bigger games in terms of actual importance
Think we settled for a point the moment Coutinho hobbled off, but leading up to that it has to be said that for all our 'control' (especially for 20 minutes after the start of the second half) we rarely looked threatening. We are just not half the team we were without Suarez, and, a brief flurry at the end apart when you brought on your one truly inventive class act (was Barkley injured?) you're not even a quarter of the team that destroyed Arsenal last season. Sobering night for both of us. What I've got to ask though, Tobes, as you've always been so quick to point out Rodgers' gobbledegook (as have I ) : what do you think of Bobby's "Asymmetric shapes"?
I assume Gerrard on for the whole game means he'll miss the Spurs game. I'm sure Bron had lofty dreams of Gerrard coming off after an hour to tumultuous applause after we were three up - the fact that we never got three points from that game by not recognising we needed Studge on at half time (at the expense of Gerrard) should wake Brendan up before fourth place is off over the horizon, if it isn't already.
Barkley was just benched mate, he's been crap of late and extremely low on confidence Martinez set that side up to negate your threat as opposed to take the game to you which was OK as it worked, but in the latter stages we should have been more ambitious imo. I think Bobby and his phenomenal interviews is bullshite lite compared to Mr Clever
Rodgers starts a Derby game without a striker on te pitch. Shows how desperate he was to get a point Even with Sturridge and Lambert they could still be playing and not look like getting a goal
Surprised you guys didn't start Lukaku, thought he'd play well against our apparent poor defence. Didn't even come off the bench either
A lot of Blues wanted to see Gerrard one last time, was he injured? Would like to see Gerrard make the cup final, with any luck someone will buy him a ticket for his birthday
As posted earlier, Rodgers had other striking options he deemed not Good enough. When he came on(sturridge)service was so poor from midfield he spent more time getting the ball from Barry than from your midfield
Charity begins at home my friend, it must have been mostly reds at the game last night? Or are you basing support on Internet forum numbers....
