RODGERS SOUNDED RATTLED

LIVERPOOL 2 UDINESE 3

For the first time Rodgers seemed a little bit rattled in the after match interview. Personally I enjoyed the game ...he aimed his frustration at the defense with comments like. “We should not have to score 4 or 5 goals to win games”. “It is something that we have to address” The lack of concentration for periods in the game.

 So we have gone to not being able to buy a goal. To finding our shooting boots, only for another aspect of our play to fall by the way side. It is like the hole in the dyke was plugged only for more leaks to appear. The match its self was enjoyable, well I enjoyed it, Other than the result... Some of Liverpool’s play was breath taking before we scored... Then again that is where for me the problem lies.  As I blogged last month apart from the Norwich, Young Boys, games I worry when we take the lead. That was what Rodgers was trying to get across. Instead he for me was leading people to think he was pointing the blame, now at the defense.
 It is the whole team’s problem, what game plan we take once we have scored. He hinted we should be winning games 1 or 2 nil. But for me he should have made that clearer. Taking the team as one unit to address the problem of conceding after scoring is a lot less miss jointed. Than going along the road of it was mainly a defense problem. He would have done himself a lot more favors if he had made this point.
 So too put it as he should have put it last night. We are doing fine but once we take the lead. The team as a whole has to protect that. This is something the team is going work hard on. That would have pleased me, the simple solution protect the lead.
 A few 1.0 wins is the order of the day. Starting with Stoke on Sunday get to the bookies
