Except he didn't make any excuses. We should have scored 4 or 5 and he admits we stopped playing and made basic mistakes at their goals.

Said a lot when he came in about wanting a small squad. Given the amount of supposed fatigue I wonder if he will rethink on that.
Our season ends, hopefully, with a cup final in late May and starts again in late June with CL1 qualifying.

It's a crazy schedule, not helped by having to play so many games by new year due to bringing the league cup forward and not being able to delay league games which do get postponed for that league cup until much later in the season.

I realise we all celebrated the LC win last month, and the fact that we all love a treble, but I wonder if we should consider just playing an outright 'B' team in that competition the way that Man Utd used to under Ferguson.

If we go out then so be it, but it means we keep the first team fresher for other challenges.

Sooner or later that could be tantamount to donating the huns a trophy, but when our schedule is such a mess, we really need to see past this and look after our squad for the more important stuff.

Ultimately, we need a longer (EDIT: Much longer) winter break IMO, but that's outwith BR's control. He does like to voice his opinion about wider matters though and I wonder if he might do so on this.

I think he is starting to get irritated at a few players who are making the same howlers time and time again, who are as soft as putty and who are totally inconsistent. He's still THE man but he should also realise that fans will always have a pop when they feel justified. The fans have been brilliant towards him and the team BUT football doesn't stand still and you are really only as good as your last game; memories can be short in this sport.

Well we're the only ones that came through the Champions Route qualifying to get out of our CL group and into the EL. :thumbsup: Qarabag, Maribor, Olympiacos and APOEL all finished bottom. CSKA, Sporting and Napoli all made it to the EL coming through the league route in qualifying. None of those started in the 2nd qualifying round.

Rodgers has tonight deviated from his after match press conference by saying we need to defend better and improve which strays slightly from his "we were magnificent spiel"
My query is this how do you go about improving a defence that is full of international players, and by that i don`t mean buy new ones but improve the existing ones? Indeed can it be done?
Do you coach them on a basic 1 to 1 level as in defender and coach or are they coached as a unit, i.e the 4 or 5 (including Gordon) defending as a unit against various forms of attack in training
They will obviously have re-iterated to them the importance of the basics and when and when not to boot the ball to feck, but then this is not coaching but a re emphasis on basics.....so how is it done? how do you improve a set 4 or 5 players , all internationals into being better defenders...Is Rodgers the man who would coach these defenders to make them better, is it Kennedy, again is there some form of coaching that can improve them or is it a re-emphasis on the basics..positioning etc??

Personally, i think big part of defending is being able to defend, meaning that rodgers will tell the players in front of the back 4 to be more cautious of whats behind them and put more of an emphasis of tracking back and not leaving a defender 1-1 with a striker.

Guys like jozo and tierney didnt become bad defenders overnight, they need more help from the midfield, not all the time but when needed (such as champions league games v pot 1 and 2 sides).

Simunovic isnt a diddy but was made to look one in some of the champions league games, because the back 4 were doing it all on their own. On top of this the gaffer might put more time at training into defensive drills, 1-1s and stuff so its fresh in the defenders minds for the games.

The lines are becoming blurred. Some of our fans are starting to sound like nine in a row era huns.

It's been happening for a while, and it's disappointing.
