Predictably the Liverpool loving media are blaming the dippers` latest defeat on England, and Sturridge`s injury.


Rodgers seemed to get derailed by the three problems of facing a style of football that he struggles with, missing his star striker through injury and trying to plan for the Champions League.
Having to deal with Villa's parked bus without Suarez, Sturridge or the departed Suarez was too much for him and he seemed to run out of ideas.
Everything seemed to come straight through their massed ranks in the middle and there was very little attempt to go wide and get in behind them.
Suited their rather immobile defence down to the ground.
The last time that Rodgers managed in Europe he had trouble dealing with it.
Liverpool's league form suffered, as they struggled through a seemingly simple qualifier against Hearts and an easy group, before being knocked out by Anzhi.
He had a free run at the league last season, as Liverpool weren't in any European competition and they only played 5 domestic cup games.
That allowed him to continuously pick the best team available and meant that the side often faced teams who'd had less rest.
He'll need to up his game this time out to repeat last year's impressive league placing.
Might have tried to integrate too many new players too quickly, too. Should've learned from Villas-Boas, as that was one area where we came unstuck in the last campaign.
Rodgers assured us that they were different though, didn't he?![]()
How did we lose to these clowns?!
I think they'll struggle to finish among the top 4.
As will the goons

So if arsenal and liverpool are going to struggle who isntaking their spots?
Spurs and everton?
