One thing really really winds me up.
The constant playing of our lads in the incorrect positions.
Today Can at right back ffs.
Why is it so hard not to play members of our squad in the position in which they are most adept.
Markovic is a attacking winger, play him in that position instead of fricking wingback.
We have strikers at the club Balotelli, Borini, Lambert etc play them upfront not Sterling or Lallana/Coutinho.
You signed them as strikers, give them a chance as strikers.
Rant over

Its not like he does not have a big squad either, we have specialists in every position, if we suffer injuries and have no cover, promote a natural right back from the U21s.
It just appalls me, he does it even when we have natural players for that position fit.
You can't make a square fit a round hole.
From the outside it looks to me like he expects the entire footballing world to stand in awe and say look at that clever BR, a tactical genius for coaching a midfielder to become a striker and a midfielder to become a right back.
But when it backfires, it backfires disasterly.
What most our strikers think when he plays Sterling ahead of them?
No wonder he has lost the squad.
And while I agree Sterling is a greedy so and so, who can not have sympathy with him for how he has been mucked around in terms of playing position this year.

To be fair, every manager does it which shows that they know a lot more than we do about a player's suitability to a certain role. Just because FIFA/Football Manager says that someone is a "DM", it ain't necessarily the case.

promote a natural right back from the U21s, who? Give us some names? Most the U21s will be lucky to be in league two in 3 years never mind playing for Liverpool first team. Borini, Lambert etc. are not good enough. At least by not playing them it proves a point to the owners that we need new strikers, although you have to ask yourself who signed these duds in the first place.

Sick if these armchair coaches feeling this one that one is not good enough, how will they become good or better if they are not played or played out of position, the more u play the better you'll be

They probably won't get better by not playing. Liverpool football club act in the its own best interests not individual players. If there not good enough, there not good enough. I'm not claiming to be some know-it-all coach, I'm just pointing out the blindingly obvious. You can't just stick in underperforming or youth players in the hope that they improve and still finish in the top 4. The fact that Rodgers, who is actually a coach, has left the likes of Borini and Lambert out suggests they're not good enough. And as for youth players, I can probably count the amount of youth players that have come through and been good enough for the first team in the last decade on one hand. Its fans like you who always want to see new players come in and tried out and 9 times out of 10 they're not good enough. I bet you wanted to see Pacheco, Suso, Ince given a chance. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, except you seem to be more interested in criticising other peoples's rather than having one of your own.

I don't believe that Lambert, Borini and Balotelli are all so bad that it's better to put out a team without any strikers at all. It's like saying that Mignolet is not good enough so we won't player a keeper... or we'll stick Lallana in goal. Lambert played well for Southampton in the league. Borini was BR signing who did well enough at Sunderland to attract a £14m bid. Balotelli is an international who has won the premier league. None of them maybe good enough for the long term but I just can't understand how at least one of these couldn't do a job for us in the short term.
