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
