Losing it while surrounded and in the box trying to beat 3 players,

That was awful.

Tactically naive from Rodgers tonight.

A great chance of a trophy gone

I'd rather this be out of the way to save players fitness for the PL and Europe. Who here honestly cared when we won the cup last year.

We lost, but let's not lose perspective here. Out of the four competitions we're competing in, this is easily the least significant. The only thing I am annoyed about tonight was Joe Cole and is worse than abysmal form.

Our squad is thin enough without having to deal with this competition. Of course id like to win it but its meaningless at the end of the day and i wont be too annoyed about it in the morning.

Played 14 competitive games for us this season. Scored 9 and assisted for 5. Useless lump - bring big Andy home, I say!

Swansea were excellent in fairness. Very comfy in possession and don't overdo it when they are in dangerous positions.

They really gave us a lesson in how attacking widemen should use the ball. Michu knew exactly when to release the pass quickly in the final third, thats something we don't have at all.

It will take time for us to adapt to the system though, too many players incapable of changing though I think, Gerrard, Downing etc... Gerrard is still effective but he will never be fully capable at playing the way Rodgers envisioned.

Either we will get better or else we will see that Swansea played that way before Rodgers was even there and we backed the wrong horse.

really scary that when our midfield try to pressure their defence that a simple diagonal pass through the midfield completely takes them out of the game!

Been playing that way under the previous three managers. they had a vision, we had one of those from 2004-2009.

Wtf happened!?

Jayob10

also want to ask a hypothetical question. before anyone jumps down my neck, its an opinion i've held even last season.

Re: Suarez, if you were offered the same fee we received for Torres would you sell him?

If it meant signing 2 players in the 25million range?

I would in an absolute heartbeat.

Well playing our first team for the CC and FA Cup hardly did wonders for our league form.

And yet this season our league form is poor and now knocked out of a cup.

Because of one match which was our second string(and Joe Cole) against a strong Swansea team

10 points heading into november is a better return?

They're a good footballing team, but it was their first team against our second string. We shouldn't lose sight of that.

True enough but one step away from the QF we should be taken this game more seriously as we aint gonna finish in the top six this year.

I remember when Jurgen Klopp first started at Dortmund. No fan believed that he would be the man to bring Dortmund back to the glory days He invested in cheap young players. His team got off to a slow start . Two years later he won back to back Bundesligas. So moral of the story, believe in Rodgers and give him time.

Or replace him with Klopp...and the Dortmund team.

It's funny how many people compare the Klopp story with Rodgers

Moral of tonight, Rodgers fúcked up and it should be highlighted.

3 points Sunday is now essential.

Prepared to give Rodgers the time he needs to begin the project. Disappointed losing to Swansea, if only because it was at Anfield, and we won the Cup last year. League form is ultimately more important.

It's not the manager, for me, its the players. Who was the last manager who could get a team to understand the basics of pass, move, get into space. Tiem after time, I'm wathing one player on the ball and three others sitting on the edge of the box, marked and just doing nothing. Or am I missing something? Is there a logic to this I don't see?

And it was the same under Kenny, Hodgson and towards the end of benitez.

Rodgers has edged Carra out of the picture, I think he will show balls and gradually reduce Stevies influence from next season onwards.

Quite frankly its ridiculous that this has not been nipped in the bud, still using him as our talisman. Theres alot to be said about the good things Gerrard can still do.

Sometimes though individuals (no matter how good) can unbalance a side when everything has to go through them.

The template was United with Van Nistelrooy. Superb goalscorer, but inevitably the side was better off without him as the focal point.

Gerrard is not the force he was and needs to be used accordingly. It also makes a statement to the other players that you are not above being even subbed.

I always said it would be interesting to see how BR deals with Carra an Gerrard. Fair dues he has culled Carra from the big games, I think Stevie (although still useful) needs to be shown that he is not above being taken out.

For a team trying to play structured possession football, where the balls does most of the work, Stevie is not compatible at all. He still believes in running in bursts and covering ground when there is a smart ball to be played between the lines. He should not be the focal point of this team.
