Found a sensible post amongst the madness though.

Rodgers has to take the blame for this. He has so many flaws, he really has to step it up.
He fails at quite a couple of things:
- His transfer record. This is the biggest criticism. He spent an awful lot of money, a LOT. Then when you have so many average players you just think, what did you do with so much money.
Borini, Assaidi, Sahin, Alberto, Aspas, Cissokho, Moses, Mignolet. They have failed evidently. Mignolet is one to highlight. He never really improved, he’s a big risk having in the goal. He still makes so many mistakes dealing with crosses and corners, it is unbelievable.
Then we have: Allen, Lallana, Lovren, all decent players but massively overpaid.
His latest transfer window, he paid a lot of money for decent/average players.
Markovic, nowhere worth the amount we paid for him. While the fullbacks seem to be the only buys that are doing a good job. Balotelli, well, we all know what kind of player he is and clearly he doesn’t really complement a quick fluid attack.
His only success at transfers: Sturridge and Coutinho. They were both gambles and it paid off.
He overpays for talent. Just talent, and hopes the gamble pays off, that’s his transfer strategy. The downside to this, he massively overpays, time and time again.
- His inability to sort out the defence. This has been a big problem. Last season we conceded so many goals, we were lucky to have Suarez and Sturridge bailing us out every time. But right now Rodgers doesn’t have anyone to save him.
- The midfield is an area where something needs to happen. With all the money being spent this summer you would think he addresses it, but no. We have an ageing Gerrard who needs to be handled in a good way. Lucas hasn’t been the Lucas, since the injury he had. We keep being overruned in a lot of games. This season we see it. Last season we have seen it. But Rodgers just doesn’t do anything about it. No physical presence in there.
- Finally, the striker situation. Going into the season we only had Sturridge as the main striker with an ageing Lambert. Borini wasn’t wanted anymore. Rodgers panicked and bought Balotelli, again a gamble. Having spent so much money it is ubelievable we don’t have a striker which we can rely on, besides Sturridge.
The mentality of the RAWK posters is astonishing. Everyone is believing Rodgers. But he FAILS at what he is doing. When you say something negative you are the worst fan ever. You can only say how good LFC is and how good Rodgers is. But face the facts.
It’s never a good opportunity to write a critic post. Not after a win, because you are bitter and should enjoy the win. Not after a loss, because it is supposedly a knee jerk reaction.

Would guess he has been banned by now though.
