So pathetic.

Set up the team accordingly. Especially against a team like Chelsea which did exceptionally against all the top teams last season, and only lost the title due to dropping too many points against minnows.

What exactly should we have done differently?  Chelsea set out defensively with a ridiculously weakened team, we set out to dominate, we dominated-possession, field position, shots on target, shots off target-and Gerrard let us down because he is a cockroach. Even if we had decided to park the bus against a team parking the bus (have never seen that happen, one team normally invites pressure one way or the other) and gotten a draw, then we would have only added pressure to the matches coming up.  Imo opinion, Crystal Palace away would have been a difficult fixture to face in a must-win match with a young team and we only really gained a comfortable lead () because we weren't really under any pressure.  You're just enjoying the benefits of hindsight.

Rodgers has done a good job, but I do agree that everything out of his control played out well last season-City with a new manager, Chelsea with a new manager, Manchester United losing Alexander, Spurs losing Bale, Arsenal's big signing not hitting the ground running, our luck with injuries & lack of fixture congestion.  I also made my feelings about absolute faith in him clear in a post above.

I guess I just wanted him to play the game slow and comfortable. When he realized their whole team was camping back they should have just played slow tempo possession. Considering how many goals given up from individual errors I think ultra offensive was wrong. The primary goal that match should have been not to concede rather than score.

So Rodgers bottles it if he doesn't get the team to defend and is insulting for getting them to attack? Make your fucking mind up  

The Chelsea game was going well until Gerrard slipped. It's solely down to him we didn't win the league not Rodgers.

Agreed.  Certainly neither the first nor the last time that devious little serpent has cost us.

Also, the "Rodgers has his man, I trust him" argument is the stuff we came up with to defend ourselves when King Kenneth signed the likes of Downing and Carroll.

“I thought that Liverpool were the best team last season and, yes, I thought they should have been ­champions. Luck played a part in the outcome of the title.

“I have come here because, firstly, this is one of the best clubs in the world.

“Secondly, I am now in the best league in the world and, thirdly, ­Liverpool are the strongest and most superior team. That is my opinion.

“We can win the title. I feel that even with all the new players we have we are all competent and good enough.

“I have that confidence – and I play with the confidence I feel.”

“I am ready to play straight away,” he insisted. “I can become one of the best players in the Premier League.

"Perhaps I am so confident because in every season I have played I have finished as a ­champion.”

I'm bored of this "thing" now. I'm going to stop, and by that, I also mean I'm not going to make wind-up comments related to Arsenal anymore (and instead, try and discuss things properly). I don't care what you do, but it would be cool if you could stop it too.

Agreed.  Can & Moreno certainly never struck as the kind of lads to say that sort of thing.

Studge is confident, but he is also a lovely lad when interacting with fans and young children.    Balotelli would probably turn up late to a charity event at a poor school in his camouflage Lambo and not say a word.

Edit: lol, you're upset because I said the press officers at Liverpool tell players what to say? It's the truth, nothings outlandish at all about a comment like that. Just because it isn't what you want to hear you start crying like a child.

This is exactly what I mean. Way to have a proper discussion.
