Carragher really called out the senior players post match, said there were no leaders, Gerrard included.
Henderson's lack of form couldn't have come at a worse time too.

What has happened to sterling? Really low on confidence since rodgers rested him against villa then he had that media ****e with hodgson.

In fairness the senior players are Johnson ( he's diabolical ) , Skrtel ( I feel an accident waiting to happen ) , Lucas ( barely gets a game ) , Toure ( because of age , I think needs to start ) and then you have Gerrard ( it's sad to see him become as bad as he has , time to rest or play him less because well he will be remembered for bad mistakes and performances ) .

Do people see Rodgers being able to turn things around though? Based on his stubborness this season in selection and the fact that he is doesn't seem to be able to change the way the team play to suit the players he bought, I'm increasingly doubtful.

He looked genuinely crestfallen in his post match interview with Shreeves. I reckon that if he doesnt learn from this game and change his selection policy accordingly, he never will. There's still time for him to turn this situation around but he needs to wake up and smell the sh!t that some of his "regulars" are shovelling in terms of performances.

Lads, I must have missed the match today by mistake. I watched a game with a useless team in yellow get beaten by Palace on sky sports, who were Liverpool playing and on what channel?

Gerrard's role in the team reminds me of the last year or two of Giggs career, a lot of friends that are United supporters who idolized him for years, hated seeing him in the starting line-up. Gerrard today was after a long break so the hectic schedule of PL and CL games cannot be used as an excuse for his lack of energy.

Only positive was Lambert who done well. Deserves a run in the team now.

The way I see it, the problem with this Liverpool team is the defense.

The defence can't cope with quick counter attacking football, aerial balls, strength, guile, technical players, pace, slow players, long balls, short quick interplay around the box, long range shots, free kicks, the physical side of the game, passing, pressure, corners, crosses, balls from deep and opposing players in possession.

They are however, great at passing back to Mignolet, so he can kick it out.

The midfield is a concern also with it being absent from the midfield area most of the time and letting the opposition a free run at our defence. Also they struggle to find any of players apart from Skrtel and Lovern.

Actually the forwards are not great either.

At least we have some great sponsorship deals and can always rely on us cutting down the wages outlay.

why are we shit now?

Because the Manager is too Stubborn.

He keeps on Persisting with Players that should not even be starting.

How those Players continues to be on the Field for the whole Game, while our Best Players are getting Subbed, is just Unbelievable.

So until our Manager gets his Head out of his A$$, it's Sad to say that we'll continue being Sh!t.

Don't understand how, after having such a good game against Madrid, Toure doesn't get a run of games. It just lends credence to the idea that Rodgers is picking players on reputation rather than form.

because rodgers has no idea what he is doing
