Better keeper? No. Achieved more? 100% yes! 

League title or World Cup winners. That is debatable 

[Dahnsouff]

Get the ball to Kel in those sort of spots

[KFS]

Have you noticed he writes on that ****ing note pad during bad attacking movements but does **** all during a defensive shambles? 

[enmac]

We're defending well from corners today.

For the First time in the game, we have gone 9 minutes without conceding... still hope of keeping them to single figures

Yeah let’s just hope we don’t tire.

So which ones that are fit would you suggest? 

Ndidi, Soumare, Hamza all injured but in bench?

Don't set us up so ****ing open for a start. Are you actually suggesting there's nothing he could have done to try and keep it a bit tighter? Because I refuse to believe you think he's done his best here. If he has. Well that's just depressing. 

Again, so what do you suggest he does? He specific rather than say keeping it tighter? 

[Sly]

Without knowing the condition of our other players, it’s difficult to choose an alternative lineup. 
 

However I’d have been happier playing a formation that offered better protection to the defence.

Wtf do you expect him to do? Magic a new CB into the team? All you guys moaning about BR to do something, perhaps maybe suggest an option he could take? 

Use Ben Nelson, look at the training methods and why we're getting so many injuries, sign another player back in the summer, have a bigger squad, win the easier EL ties so we could rest our best players in the last couple of games.

 

Our main issue this season is that we've been so shit that we have to keep playing all our key players every game, rather than resting than for a game or two like the other teams do as they've performed to their best. That Napoli at home game where we threw away a 2 goal lead, away in Warsaw, at home to Moscow etc. Yet against Liverpool we have a 2 goal lead and he decides to take the best player (KDH) off, and guess what, we threw the lead away again and ended up losing the game, may as well have played the ****ing kids.

[Hamilton Fox]

As embarrassing as the defence has been the shooting hasn’t been much better

[Tielemans63]

The pundits all wanking themselves to death over Man City. So their bazillion pound squad (with a £100m player on the bloody bench) is wiping the floor with our reserve team- shocker. All this in a game that would have certainly been postponed if they had been the side with all the injuries.

Probably to make up the numbers. That's where we are, injured players on the bench. 

[TrickyTrev Benjamin]

Dewsbury hall isn’t very good is he. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Tactics before the next game.

I'd wouldn't have started with Lookman but had a defensive midfielder on instead personally. 

[lcfcbluearmy]

I’ve had problems with some of Rogers decisions recently and there are lots of things he could be doing better but blaming him today when our whole first choice and most of our second choice back line not fully fit is not right or fair

[volpeazzurro]

Admittedly I'm listening on the radio but I've not heard Perez mentioned, I thought he was playing?

I've been watching since 89.

 

So have lots of experience being frustrated with City.

 

Anyone what side would you have picked today?

Hardly relevant what side I would’ve picked because I’m not one of the highest paid managers in the world who works week in week out with these players. As stated, frustrations have come due to poor performances over a LONG period of time.
Nobody is saying Rodgers should go because we’re losing away at Man City, that shouldn’t be too hard to understand.

If I had to pick a side I would’ve gone 5 at the back, probably starting the young lad Nelson. Midfield you can pick Tielemans and then whoever out of the rest of the clowns in the Middle. Get some support over to Albrighton who every time has played RB for us has been destroyed by the opposition winger. 
 

Then, if going two or three down I would’ve actually tried to change things and plug gaps. 
 

The state our football club is in playing and managing staff at the moment is really really poor. Something needs to change

[Merging Cultures]

Vestergaard you idiot.

[moore_94]

Just now, FLAN said:

Ndidi and Hamza aren't fit enough to start, neither are Castagne or Vardy.

 

Leaves you with Soumare who hasn't been doing too well recently, which leaves you with 2 kids who have never started a senior game, and VDC who isn't that good.

Was fantastic against Liverpool and got subbed in the 60th minute, ensuring we threw away the 2 goal lead.

What other defence could he field today?

It’s the effort, the desire, the belief…. It’s not there. Personnel I’m not particularly bothered with, even with a weakened team this shouldn’t be happening. A league 2 side would be giving a better account of themselves today, they’ve gone out there either;

 

1) not giving a ****.

2) have been sent out believing that they’re going to lose, and have just stacked it.

 

Either way it’s Brendan’s fault, he’s the gaffer surely the lads go out and just throw themselves in front of everything and defend like their lives depended on it? 

[whoareyaaa]

mahrez missing on purpose cheers!

Brendan Rodgers is one of the highest paid managers IN THE WORLD! Drawing comparisons between him and people on here is pretty fuching ridiculous to be fair.
