No one expected us to beat Anderlecht away. What a stupid post. Who else is their? Barca, PSG, Bayern, Gladbach? Making it out to be some massive managerial flaw. |

I haven’t seen every PSG game but I would imagine there are some sides in France who try this men behind the ball pundits and supporters seem to think is the key to getting a result. Brendan is completely right when he talks about the speed that PSG can hurt you and we are not just not used to that. Playing a PSG week in week out isn’t required but if we just had more competitive opposition it would help. We lose goals quickly in Europe but is it any surprise when we don’t have to go through games where we are under pressure for 10-15 mins and have to just get through those periods and play ourselves into a game. It’s a culture shock to our players when they under the cosh for a period of time. |

Fair point. You also need to recognise though that we have had 5 home games in the Champions league and haven't won any of them. |

Rodgers needs to make the players aware of this and make sure we beat Anderlecht. Don't play to qualify, play to send the fans home happy. |

I expected to beat Anderlecht as did many others. The other games you mention we were not expected to win and we didn't. For the purposes of my argument I'll discount draws!

Winning the game would surely send the fans home happy no? |

Which is what I do in the first line of my post. As everyone knows though, the five home games were each pretty difficult to win. We've only really let ourselves down in two of them in terms of our performances/results. |

A good few of us myself included expected we had a good chance of getting at least a point against Anderlecht - Very few thought we were going to take anything against PSG in either game nor against Bayern away. I am don't think the comments are meant as a Managerial flaw more realistically Rodgers wins way more games than he loses but there are a few whereby we are very,very unlikely to win which are the PSG/Bayern/Barca level games where the money has fecked any chance of a level playing field for teams that operate at our level - Occasionally we will pull off a great result like Man City. |

If you mean play so as not to lose and adopt a more defensive outlook I think it's alreadybeen proven Rodgers won't be doing that. |

That's what i'm saying. I don't want us settling for a draw, i want CL wins back at paradise, to give us our confidence back going into the Europa. |

That's more or less what I was clumsily trying to say. (Last time I back up Idyllwyld btw!) Where is he anyway?

Yep, I thought Idlewyld's post was pretty accurate (I dare say you could point to the odd exception) & I don't think it was intended as criticism either. It's to Brendan's credit that we can go into almost every game we play confident that the team won't let us down. |

Well I thought it was and all things considered I doubt we could get a better manager. |

Yes. I think that is pretty much the point he is making to be fair. |
