What a dire game to watch and yet it wasn't a surprise.
I assume Lucas was injured.
The midfield was non existent all game with the likes of Allen, Henderson and Gerrard. All didn't step up, and with Sterling doing a disappearing act, then we were completely toothless.
The whole Gerrard affair would have been handled differently by a decent manager, brought on to clap for the final ten minutes of his farewell tour, but Rodgers isn't a decent manager and he allows ego's to rule the roost. Rodgers has the biggest one of all and now i look forward to seeing him depart in the summer.
Mignolet ain't good enough, Lovren is god awful...and bringing on Lambert and Johnson must have really made Villa quake with fear.
At least Ballotelli showed heart and scored a perfectly decent goal.
I look at that team today and think that Coutinho, Emre, Skrtel and Moreno are the only one's worth keeping...any player who doesn't want to sign, then sell them sharpish.
and when you remember the likes of Agger and Reina let go for peanuts at the season start, then that all lies with Bodgers.
He's gone in the summer...
No hiding at Wembley, no hiding the emperors new clothes behind a defeat to the top 4 or the like...Rodgers was unveiled by Villa today as he was by the likes of the mighty Basel and Besiktas.
Fair play to Villa, they wanted it more.
Time to sack Rodgers and his staff..
Time to sack Ayres.
Time to bring in a serious manager who has a massive building job to do.
In our arrogance we talk about Klopp or Ancelotti, but who in their right minds would come to sort this shower out??
I know one man would, he cries at the Hillsborough anniversary, he's just won the italian cup and looking good for the europe league once more and his family still live in Southport.
