A message to Rodgers

Nothing wrong with the football we're playing. We just need some players who can score. When Shane Long is one of your best strikers, there's clearly a problem.

[Big Foot]

There is a problem with the football we're playing if we're not getting results

I know it's a cliche but football is a results business

Liverpool played the pass back rule to perfection but are remembered for being winners. We don't play winning football.

So like the long ball stuff we saw last season?

I saw this coming when Long was given Kevin Doyles No 9 shirt....

I'd settle for 4th this season. Would you Winchester?

[Big Foot]

I'm not calling for a return to hoof ball

I'm on about good football where we use space effectively and play to our strengths with good penetration and plenty of chances.

NOT Pearce and Bertrand having a 1-2 with each other, then Federici and Rosenior having a 1-2, oh who shall it go to now? Pearce? Maybe to Cisse....then back to Mills

[frimmers]

3,2,1.....is brendan related to that ted rogers fellah?

It's not so much to do with the personnel, more the mindset.

Although our lack of width is bemusing and amusing at the same time. In a system like the one we play, we need our full backs to bomb on and be wing backs. Bertrand certainly got forward today and has done on plenty of occasions but Rosenior doesn't do that often enough.

If Knee Jerking was an Olympic sport, most Nobbers tonight would be gold medal winners.

[Big Foot]

Are you not concerned by our imperilous start to the season?

I can't eeven sit here and say we were brave in defeat today

Incredibly, I've just read that as polishing his money and counting his cars.

Having read it that way I didn't even think it sounded wrong.
