    There is a reason Milner always played in the final third for City rather than in the centre of the field, like Henderson the best part of his game is what he does around the oppositions box. The midfield might as well not be there at all.

    Firmino and Ings on the flanks is a terrible decision. Benteke needs to have Ings making runs and dragging defenders away from him.

    Having said this, both sides have been utter garbage and it's clear what LvG and BR want from this game.

    He had at least 2 give aways maybe even more, he's been abysmal, lots of players have been but he's stood out probably because of the ridiculously dumb frees he gave away.

    We have too many players that do the simple thing too often, that it must be a directive of the manager. We are awful to watch when we don't have Coutinho on the pitch to try something outside of playing the simple pass. It's a sad state of affairs when our best attacking option for the 2nd half is to bring on Moreno.

    Not sure what Benteke can do with balls belted at him from 40 yards away. With no team mates near him. Don't think he'll look back fondly on being shoved off the ball by Blind though.

    Brendan Rodgers has turned Liverpool into a poor man's mid-table Swansea despite spending £300m on players.

    Lucas is always the scapegoat to the likes of you.

    Keep it simple seems to be the philosophy. Don't be adventurous in any way.

    Singling out Benteke as a horror show is laughable ott. What more can he do, hes on his own 30 yards away from everyone.

    Not saying hes been anyways good but he hasnt had a horror show. Milner yes.

    Pass it back and look confused, the Liverpool way.

    Not get bossed by defenders significantly weaker & smaller than him for a start.

    Bizarre to try and make Benteke a scapegoat.

    And it's stifling the players natural creativity...

    Benteke is doing what Mario was doing except people complained about Mario instead of the fact that he wasnt getting any service.

    On the rare occasion that Benteke has received the ball, I thought he held it up well.

    I honestly don't want to see Rodgers managing this team anymore. I've stood by him long enough, but there's nothing he can do to improve the team. We're going to end up losing this game by two or three goals, because we are absolute shîte going forward.

    Benteke should stop f*cking whinging.

    Rodgers out.

    Hundreds of millions spent and this is the result...

    Suarez gave us the magic that season, and we all know it.

    Fair play to Ings...making DeGea look like the 3rd best keeper in the league.

    I defend Rodgers a lot but playing 433 but continuing to buy no.10s to play out there (or strikers) is insanity. Not happy.

    If the away fans turn on Rodgers he's as good as gone
