    Gary Neville is pretty spot on. I think Rodgers is to blame for us overplaying at the back though, because its obvious none of our CBs or GKs are comfortable on the ball, never mind when under pressure at the toilet.

    Think is, he's brought Sakho, Ilori, Gomez all of which are CB's comfortable on the ball and should suit his style by also having pace and allowing us to push up and hold a high line... that's what makes Sakho's exclusion and Ilori's loan even more bewildering.

    Carrick doing a "young" flailing his legs out as wide as possible in the hope of making some contact with the player so he can fall over and claim a free kick

    I don't understand why we aren't playing players who are quite good defensively on the wings to combat two of the most attacking full backs in the PL in Shaw & Darmian.

    Ings is a striker and Firmino is used to be the main attacking weapon at Hoffenheim, how much tracking back do you think he's actually had to do.

    Seems like a real tactical blunder to me, so far at least.

    Maybe the idea is play 2 attacking players so they have 2nd thoughts about pushing up... or when they do push up it leaves spaces for Ings and Firmino to exploit on the counter?

    they're certainly pushing up but they don't have to bother about us countering as we don't pass to each other

    Probably what Rodgers thinks. But I think its a dangerous game to play, especially when we have a defence as fragile as ours having to deal with 1v2s on each side of the defence.

    Some of these Liverpool players may as well be wearing a Utd shirt they've misplaced passes that often

    Im not watching the game. Is it as bad as it sounds. I was expecting a reaction today. Not good if the players cant get up for this one. Even if you dont win you have to die on your shields. But im not watching so excuse me if im mistaken.
