BR and FSG suit each other at the moment because both claim that it will take time to where we want to be and that we are moving in the right direction in terms of style and squad overhall.
I personally didn't agree with the approach whereby we write off a whole season from the outset in order to prepare for future seasons. But that came with the package when we appointed BR, bad mouthed half the current squad and purchsed unproven young players.
Now whether FSG are genuine or whether that was just a ploy to buy time is yet to be seen. What happens in terms of trnsfers this season and in January will tell us quite a bit, nd next season is when I think BR will come under real pressure from day one.

For me it was fielding a midfield two of Hendo and Allen that cost us the game. Oldham overran us from the first whistle and got the early goal. Sterling in midfield is a joke - an asthmatic grandma can blow him off the ball. We essentially had a 4-2-4 - which was stupid! I'm so gonna use that one in the future

Rodgers is not the man for the job- Swansea was his level and he is out of his depth at Liverpool. Why play a 4-2-3-1 system when you have never played it before and you have a defenisve back4 who havent played much together.
Borini & Allen are a waste of 27mill- money was also wasted on Sahin who never played and assaidi who will disappear in the summer window.
FSG havent got a clue either as they do not have anyone running the club who knows what they are doing.

I like Robinson, he is a very promising player and at least tried today. Wisdom though... I really cannot understand how he's appeared so often this season, notwithstanding the constant injuries to Johnson, Kelly and Flanagan. After 30+ years of watching LFC I don't remember anyone have so little involvement in games, it's as if he actually seeks to avoid the ball. Ultimate example of a "no-risk" defender!

Feel that a lot of people are over reacting. Cup upsets happen. There's been about 5 this week! Remember reading a few years and then us losing the league cup final to.....who was it? Anyway it was a bad team. Some oldie help me out with this.

I think fielding a weak team is playing with fire, if you win then you get away with it but of you lose then you have nobody to blame but yourself. I looked at that defence of Wisdom, Coates, Skirtel and Robinson and straight away the alarm bells were ringing, you then see Suarez walking out as captain and not even playing up front and you know straight away we are not approaching the game the right way or treating the opposition with respect. I honestly dont know what we as a Club are all about now, we no longer compete for the top four and we finish between places 7th and 9th, now we dont even take cup's serious, so what is left for us, what do we actualy play or look forward too at the start of each season, its January and our season is virtualy over apart from the Europa League who people on here wanted us bounced out of before xmas... Stop crying red4life man utd fell away further away then we have at present and they're doing not too bad now eh.

Agree Jay, but watching this unravel (coates especially) it also occurred to me how appalling the transfers Commo and Kenny made really are.
With exception of Suarez not one would probably get in a Southampton or Norwich side and Rogers is trying to get Top 4 with that,deal with fan demands, FSG and find talented kids because it's all he's allowed to sign.
Saying all that he needed wise heads out there today in that environment and Carragher/Gerrard should have started.

To me, I think he made the right decision to start the youngsters purely because of the team we were playing against. It was the younger side to prove their worth and to go out there and lose to Oldham i think displayed their honest talent and dedication. It was a huge disappointment but i am super glad that he made the decision. It will weed out the weak and keep the strong.

I think the game has definitley highlighted how "thin" our squad is. We lost Enrique and Johnson to injuries and every fell to sh1t. We also need some players that can stand up to the physical teams like Oldham, Stoke and Villa.(All games we lost through the game being physical)
I still believe that Rodgers is the man to take us to the top and it wasn't that long ago we were all of the understadning that we need to be patient as the re-build willt ake time.
We've definitely improved in the league and I feel we'll keep on improving. FSG need to back the manager in the summer with soem hefty funds (no questions ask e.g. age)
If FSG fail to spend big in the summer they will be under severe pressure from the fans and we'll run the risk of losing the likes of Suarez etc.
