    Just doesn't look like he is trying, he is a weak winger who can't take anyone on. He is no where near the player a club like Liverpool expects with the ambition of top 4.

    Also, with the way Rogers uses our full backs, we will be shaped like this a lot.

    Interesting quote also about not giving up on players. Ok I don't think this is what he has done with Adam, Cole & Spearing but it certainly looks that way from the very beginning with Carroll?

    Imagine him and Stirling attacking the full back together.

    Against Spurs we should but Downing, Adam and Sterling down the left. Adam to end Bales game in the first 5 minutes, and the other two to charge at Asso Ekotto.

    My concern is that he doesn't have any abilities on any side of his game. Get the ball, dilly dallies and then loses/wastes the ball.
