In this case I dont mind Rodgers having his say. Downings had more than his fair share of chances and nothing seems to have worked, hes still rubbish. By right he should be shown the door.
We'll see, seems completely unintuitive to me to put a lad who can't tackle and would have little positional
sense or pace at left back. I just don't get it. Call me old-fashioned but a wing back who can't block crosses
is just useless, imo (that's why i love seeing young Kelly in the side, blocks 'em crosses, Johnson has a bit
more class and is more assured and comfortable on the ball but i'm a fan of cutting out crosses).
Not a minute too soon. Great servant to the club but in a lot of ways hes prohibited progress at the back in terms of the type of football we tried to play and by being chosen for games that other players should have played in. Managers seemed compelled to pick him.
Never gave us an option on a corner too, the way i expect Coates to do.
Agreed Ed, two games in and it almost feels like its back to the old "this could be our year" talk.
I know. It drives me nuts! I read somewhere Chelsea had brought in £80 million of talent over
the Summer

We need to be consistently picking up points and refining our style of play to
get ourselves in a position where we can secure 6th and then think about 5th and 4th. Arsenal
at the weekend would represent a nice 3 points and i seriously hope we do it (payback for last
season!) but it's not as if Swansea are going to win the league on the back of two wins so game
at a time and Hearts up next.
