He bought Borini.<br /><br />It can't have been a last day decision to block Dempsey yet it seems it was, so Rodgers carries some blame for that, as £3m was never going to wash with Fulham, who might have just been dicking us around in anycase.<br /><br />If you don't assess the real issue of the prior season then you won't fix it and that is what has happened.<br /><br />We have all become obsessed with this new 'system', where in reality we just needed goal scorers. <br /><br />We had a great coach in Steve Clarke but thought a rookie manager would be better.<br /><br />FSG really aren't doing a good job as the run of problems and big direction reversals demonstrate, and the SOS demand of a Chief Exec is a start.<br /><br />Rodgers' setup is predictable and is easily countered when possession is lost. It's like he assumes we're never going to give the ball away. <br /><br />As I originally predicted and asked, where are the goals going to come from? We will be fighting with Villa for 15th.<br /><br />And what has happened to Gerrard? Is it the position or the system, or a lack of options? He just can't get it together.jonnySingaporenoreply@blogger.com
