He was being sarcastic, HMR, he agrees with you and is mocking other posters.

I'm not mocking them.

I'm just sick of tired and Lucas and Gerrard getting majority of the blame when the problem is actually tactical.

Our team is not suited to a counter-attacking 352. That's just not on the duo, but on the whole team. If it weren't for Sturridge and Suarez, we'd be mediocre at best. And just because we have 4 centre backs that could all be playing does not mean we are playing to our strengths by playing with 3 at the back ffs.

BR in an interview wrote:While Rodgers did not exactly dismiss suggestions his midfield lacked the necessary speed, he did counter the argument.

"We have got very good players and in that game Arsenal had outstanding ability," he added.

"In fairness to Steven and Lucas, they worked very hard. Steven picked up an injury (to his hip) and struggled in that part of the game because of that.

"There's no doubt in the modern game you have to have that mobility in midfield but you also need the balance.

"You also need players who are technically good, can play and can participate in the game tactically and of course the modern game gets quicker every year.

"That is an area you need mobility in and for us, going forward, it is something, as with every area, we will try to improve."

so he knows what we need. Last summer we strengthened our defenece, now is the time for midfield

Rodgers deals with problems when he notices them. He just needs to identify them quicker. Plenty of players moved in the summer for reasonable prices that could have improved our first team.
