Gerrard has shown himself to be an self obsessed clown with the extracts from his "new" autobiography. after slating Rafa, now he is having a go at Rodgers.

I always got the impression that both Gerrard and Carra thought that they were bigger than any manager at the club, that they were Liverpool. Rafa IMO fell out with both of them because he was the boss, Brendan licked both their holes, up to last season anyway, poor Bren is getting some kicking off of Stevie now.

P.S. If Stevie was in some people opinions Mr Liverpool, how is it that by publishing this crap, he is sh1tting over the club he claims he was forever loyal to?

You were saying his new book was great the other day, that it Reflected very well on him and the club

You need to seperate what these footballers are like as people, and what they are like as footballers.

Regarding what Gerrard said about the Chelsea game. He was spot on btw

Topic of much discussion here at the time. I ****ing slated him for it at the time IIRC.

I appreciate that but he admits he was wrong and gets jumped on.

Hes not Brendan!!

Trust me, those 2 posters don't bother me in the slightest.

They have both shown themselves to be....... (if I continue I'll get a ban so I'll stop here).

Needless to say I'm still waiting on Tipsy to take me up on my offer of a bet, he seems to just continually ignore me when it's mentioned. Weldoninhio has been shown to lie about the team he supports so I just cannot take him seriously.

Their obsession with me is cute though.

Reckoned BR was overconfident, that they would give Chelsea a proper beating. Something along those lines.

He was well within his rights to be confident though in fairness.

Is that ppg number like the fact he posted the other day about our defence being better if you exclude certain games?

If you exclude the games the opposition scored more than us we haven't lost under Rodgers at all.

hmmmmmmm, you will have to show me that post, his first AB was a sh1t read, maybe he felt he had to be controversial to get better sales.

As a footballer he was peerless, as a person, he leaves a lot to be desired.

Confidence is one thing, but setting the team up with a strategy of all out attack in our last really tough game, which we didn't need to win, was clearly a mistake.

Do hate this book rubbish from Gerrard though, it's utterly pointless. He's exceptionally wealthy. If he really wants to release a book to get things off his chest, do it when his career is finished and then be completely honest. From the excerpts i've read so far, he doesn't come across very well..

I'm sure it was discussed plenty at the time but if we had abandoned the style of play that got us so far that season he would have been destroyed by fans and the media. We weren't able to play defensively so it would have been a pointless exercise.

Multi-millionaire footballer writes a book. Pisses a few people off. Happened before, will happen again.
Gerrard, the footballer, gave me some wonderful feelings in the past 15 years - that's what'll come to mind when I think of him. I don't really give shit about his book.
If I wanted to dislike him, I'd use his love of Phil Collins as a starting point. Now he is fucking evil.

Grayditch · 25-09-2015 09:37PM

I don't hold it against Rodgers for setting up for all out attack against Chelsea, then. That's what I wanted at the time. It's what a lot of us wanted. To beat them. Turned out be be a little naive, but we had a lot of bad luck in that game. It's too easy to look back now and say what he should have done. We were on fire.

We didn't need to play defensively, Chelsea weren't trying to score really. We were playing a suicidally high line that day. The team were probably feeding off the energy of the crowd though as the atmosphere for the first portion of the game was electric, as it was before the match as well, real hair raising stuff. The second half was far more nervous though.

I was only bull****ting, but like anyone else, you had to respond when something false was written about you. As far as I'm concerned, that's all Gerrard is doing with the book; setting the record straight as he sees it

Disagree or whatever, but he's entitled to give his opinion now that he's away, and like anyone else in this world, his opinions on the various managers he's worked under aren't always going to be positive.

It was the horrible tactics by Chelsea that annoyed me. Time wasting from the very first minute, no interest whatsoever in attacking. They could have played until July that year and still wouldn't have scored if not for Gerrards slip.

Worst part about that season is everyone remembers Gerrards slip

IF and Im saying IF we won the league (even despite Gerrards slip) everyone would be talking about Kompanys slip (was it Coutinhos goal?)

More of a miskick than slip. The team was set up perfect against Chelsea. I can't understand why people say it was naive. It wasn't all out attack that cost the game it was Gerrard slipping. Chelsea created nothing. How does playing defensive stop a huge player error.

We didn't have to play defensively, we just had to not be utterly ludicrous in our formation. When Gerrard slipped, we didn't have a single outfield player between our goal and the centre circle. Not one.

Why should we care even a little about their time wasting and lack of attacking intent? We should have been rejoicing over it!

Players are human. Errors happen. If they happen in your box, so be it, but a simple error out by the halfway line shouldn't be able to lead to a guy being clean through with no opposition. One or both of the CB's should have been deeper than Gerrard.

Wasn't that the tactic all season? Gerrard dropping back to collect the ball and spray passes? Iirc it was Sakho who passed him the ball.

Yeah throughout the season he dropped deep to collect the ball, but in this occasion he wasn't deep - he was right by the halfway line, directly between the 2 CB's who were pushed right up there too...there's just no need for it. Those 3 were the only players even in our half, and they were spread the entire length across the pitch so none of them had any chance of covering for the others. Just utterly pointless positioning, and yet clearly the plan as they're in formation with each other.

I mean, even if he hadn't messed up, and had played a pass which got intercepted say, one long ball would put any fast player on their team right through with acres of space to run into.

Likewise.

I wonder who in the squad Rodgers can ask to text targets to come and join. The stars have gone. We need a manager who can make the team the star.

He was a bit inside his own half in fairness. Chelsea had no interest in scoring. Ba is through even if the centre halfs are level with Gerrard. Gerrard ****ed up that day. It was a massive error. We don't have to blame Rodgers for everything.

BorneTobyWilde · 25-09-2015 10:07PM

If we beat Villa and then win the Miseryside Derby will we want Rodgers to stay?
He has been unlucky to lose Henderson , to get Sturridge back only to lose Benteke. We have also lost Lovren and Firmino.
We also should of been 3-0 when Norwich scored, and 0-3 away to Arsenal but for saves no keeper should be saving.

You'll need to change to the desktop site. Worth the effort, though, or at least I've found it so for the last few hours, what with my severe allergy to congenital imbecility. Great peace from a certain degree of hooting and gibbering.

I will want Rodgers to stay if Liverpool are challenging for top 4 for the rest of the season. We are currently 4 points off I think. We need to close this gap.

He really wasn't. I don't have a problem with Gerrards positioning by the way, it's totally fine, I have a problem with the CB's being that far up, and that far wide, meaning they can do absolutely nothing about an attack down the middle, which happened. A slow Gerrard was the only thing standing in Chelsea's way through on goal, slip or no slip.

This defensive plan was just asking for trouble. Look at Ba, before the pass is even made he's already on the run to pressure Gerrard. Even if he doesn't slip, there's a myriad of things that can go wrong. It was a silly setup with zero redundancy that got exposed.
