Yes god damn Rodger's for making Suarez back heel and making everyone sprinting away from Benteke.
Maybe so but think about it if we took half the chances then the other teams may not be walking back over us if there 2-0 within 20mins, The errors arent just tactics its crap signings also by other managers
Suarez did something stupid, but then our Midfield were too occupied with looking for space instead of trying to win the ball back or close down space.
Either our entire midfield are lazy, or they are carrying out Rodgers tactics.
-edit-
Or rather, they did close down the space.. but it was the space behind the breaking Villa players :/
Looking for space while they hit us on the counter? Are you talking about space for when we get the ball back? You must be joking
Also Skrtel stood off massively and I'm pretty sure one of our midfielders will be told to close down and not look for space lol, considering they were just outside our box there isn't much space to look for.

I still got faith in rodgers and would give him two seasons to prove himself. But lets see what comes in the jan window.
I suspect your watching a completely different game to me then, every time Villa broke forward in the first 60 mins our midfield were jogging around behind them.
I would like to think so considering its less than half the season.
Not sure how that's Rodger's fault or how you have deduced that he has told them to go looking for space while they counter.
Im not saying Sack him tomorrow, but the honeymoon is 100% over, he deserves all the criticism he gets for the woeful tactics today.
Because i've seen us play with two sitting players and doubling up on the wings countless times this season and we looked more solid.
Then days like today its like we decide "Sod it, no one ever won by defending, lets go for it!" and we get smashed.

This. Got his work cut out after this game though. A lot of players are going to struggle to come to terms with this result, none more so than Gerrard who already needed a massive kick up the backside.
People started leaving Anfield 5mins ago and still are hasn't happened in awhile, Tbh should we of signed a striker who could finish i think we would be doing far better if we even converted 30% of our chances we would have won more, Rodgers deserve least end of this season see how we play from Jan
Please tell me the horrible tactics, because we haven't really been outplayed by Villa, 21 goal attempts? Yeah obsession with possession so getting no shots away.
First goal, suppose he recommends those flicks on the half way line and not closing down.
Second was an okay goal, poor tracking back from midfield again, doubt he has told them not to once again as I can't imagine no manager ever does that.
Third? ****ing rofl all around from Cole to Allen to Skrtel.
Rodger's not done much wrong except allow Gerrard to play in midfield which I don't any manager has the bottle to drop him from there, he should be where Shelvey was and Shelvey in midfield and Hendo for Allen.
Happens all the time. People even leave at 85 mins when its 1-1 with United. Not that many fans there these days.
So no ones closing down, and its the players fault? Okay so then the manager has the ability to do something about it. Shout .. make them do it .. or replace them. Rodgers did neither. I cant believe your defending him, we had no shape, no urgency in defence and no clue .. and somehow thats not the manager's fault? If it was one player, sure ,but it was everyone in front of the back 4, I really struggle to accept that every single one of them are just being dopey.
