http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ition-sussed-tactics-says-defeats-players.htm Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes recent defeats are down to his players' own failings rather than the opposition having cracked their system. The Reds' 3-4-2-1 formation, implemented from mid-December, helped produce a 13-match unbeaten Barclays Premier League run which lifted them to within a win of breaking back into the Champions League qualification places. But despite receiving plaudits for the quality of their football, which at times appeared to be unplayable, flaws started to appear a month ago when they were held to a goalless draw by Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn in the FA Cup. please log in to view this image +5 Brendan Rodgers says his sides recent defeats are down to his players, not his tactics being susses After scraping a win against Swansea they were then exposed by Manchester United and Arsenal, two teams already in the top four. However, Rodgers insists a drop-off in results is more to do with their own performances than those of their opponents. 'I don't think it's about being worked out. We didn't start well (against Arsenal), and it doesn't matter what system you are playing if that happens,' he said. 'In the last four games that we've played we haven't created as much, and that's more on ourselves. please log in to view this image Liverpool have lost ground in the race for the Champions League places and will find it hard to recover 'Of course you give opponents credit but every team will go into a game to defend well and work hard against you. 'Probably the Blackburn game when we drew 0-0 and the games following that we haven't created as much. 'That's something that we want to reinforce - the creativity for chances and hopefully taking those chances. 'It's a difficult system to play against, but it's one of a number of systems we've played here and played very well. Now he blames his players, such a good manager he is
Rodgers. Awful manager, awful person. How many times has he blamed his players and refused to accept hes ****e? I sussed his tactics out in minutes. Fast guy up top, pass to him, cross fingers.... **** sake gerrard!
So what is this saying, it took the PL almost 2 years to figure out a crap manager's tactics? That's the general impression you get from the posts and OP Totally unlike the brilliant vG who played crab football till he lucked out with Dive maria getting banned and being forced to play Mata who he didn't even want #parttimefc
Last year he was a lucky manager whos only instruction was... Pass to the bitey man, cross fingers.... **** sake Gerrard. Its barely changed. Only this time Bitey man has been swapped for the worst strikers in football.
Lucky and heavily favoured by the refs, giving pens for dives and cheating by the Rat. At last some of the RS fans are opening their eyes and coming to my view: the rat had carried the manager as well as the whole team. The discredited pundits had seen Brenda as a good manager. Without the rat he is less than average. He has been extremely poor in his buying of new players, he is poor at tactics and competing with a good manager and he is poor at man management Gerrard, pass quickly to the rat - would be his only instruction. This season, when things go wrong, it is not his fault it is the players. Great leadership Brenda #brendaforlife
"The Reds' 3-4-2-1 formation, implemented from mid-December" Two years? How long ago do you think mid December was?!? Rodgers does increasingly seem to be resembling Scolari at Chelsea - a one trick pony whose trick is rapidly found out and turns out to have a glass jaw against the top sides. I can see FSG getting shot in the summer, but who do they turn to next in that case?
Guessed you missed the irony. vG went from crab foootball to more productive football with tactical changes, I am only using the logic impressed upon us by UIR when Brod turned things around, I don't actually believe in UIR's stupidity. #luckedout.
His one trick was a Uruguayan low life cannibal he was lucky to inherit. Manager of the year... It was hilarious in the first half against the Gunners. He just couldn't change his system when all the passing at the back was leading to Arsemal pinching the ball and having chances. All the pressing was putting pressure on his defenders and most decent managers would have instructed the players to cut out the crap dangerous tiki taka at the back. But no, he was absolutely frozen and then he had the temerity to blame his players. No wonder they revolted against his dressing down...
Ah, now I understand. UIR has wound you up, so now you are going to spout unrelated rubbish on different threads to see if you get a response from him. Carry on, don't mind us
