The attitudes on here are exactly the same as those on another website back in 2005 at half time in Istanbul.
There is always hope. These signings are terrific players. Go back to the Spurs game when people were describing Moreno as a proper player and Lovren being what we were missing.
Personally that day we played against a team only moderately better than when we thumped them 5-0 last season without us playing particularly well on this occasion.
Yet so many were so delighted at the clean sheet and proclaiming the new dawn. Balotelli did OK up top with Sturridge and Moreno Manquillo Lovren and Sakho didn't give Spurs a sniff.
You know what? I actually continued watching Istanbul after the first half disaster with a number of my LFC fan mates switching the tv off and going to bed as it was close to midnight. However, miracles like Istanbul 2nd half happen very rarely but there is no shame in hoping for the best.
I also don't think that the team is that bad, including Balotelli, however, I do think Rodgers is lost and cannot get the best out of players at his disposal.
I agree Vish.
Perhaps there is a bit of a hangover from last season and a good number of our squad was also involved in a poor World Cup campaign.
But he has no more become a bad manager than Koeman has become a world beater in 11 league games.
I do believe that you play 2 up top as much as you can plus Sterling in an attacking role. This was the format that was so successful last season that he seems to have abandoned.
I think he has lost a bit of confidence in himself and that he needs to extend his managerial staff to spread his workload.
Sometimes it is good to take it all on yourself but maybe he does need a specialist defensive coach or a stronger personality alongside him on the bench.
His experiences at Liverpool so far have been of relentless progress and when that progress stops or in this case has turned into regression then that is often what is hard to deal with.
It is as important to know why you succeed and learn from that experience as it is to learn from your failures and mistakes. At the moment he seems to have forgotten how he achieved what he did last season.
