I feel BR needs to return to his old club swansea and get a lesson in coaching and tactics from Mr Gary Monk. he is playing the system rodgers want to play to the prime.
and he shows how to play a big man up top. the way swansea use gomis just brings a tear to my eye and here we have Benteke struggling to make a contribution. oh what i won't give for playing like SWANSEA!!
thats how low we have been under rodgers.
also eds i have a question. what is this affinity with 4-2-3-1 at all premier league clubs? the top teams are certainly not playing well in this formation ( apart from city but then they have the players to play it). everyone else seems to be failing. it seems to be a trend this season for some reason.

{Ed001's Note - it is just a fashion mate, it will change soon enough, depending on what formation next has some success.}

After buying 30 odd players, I think he should have the players in the squad to adapt to all formations. We are so easy to play against, especially at Anfield. Teams know that we leave space and play to open. Every team that visit us will get chances to score. Skrtle keeps the defensive line too deep. He looks great when we are holding on to a point, but when we need to move forward as a team he's sh**.

4-2-3-1 works a peach when you have Suarez, Messi and Neymar or Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema as your front three. Especially with the distribution quality they have behind them. I just don't think we are playing too our available squad. And when Sturidge is back, will BR go to a 2 up top or play him wide? If 2 up top then why not do that now with Firmino? I just don't see a clear plan. Not in personnel, formation, movement, communication, strategy or roles. Last year again, so far.
