2-2 HT
Really poor display from us so far. Cardiff have so much pace in attack it's baffling to see us play so high up the pitch and commit so many men forward.
Allen needs to work far harder to help Flanagan in defense, Gerrard needs to stop pushing so far forward and getting caught out of position and Coutinho needs to sort himself out as well.
This type of Jekyll and Hyde performance has been too common this season and Rodgers needs to stop underestimating the smaller teams as often as he does.
Dont think we can blame the Jekyll and Hyde entirely on Rodgers tbh we have had this problem with smaller teams for a few seasons now.
It is his job to make the players more disciplined, unfortunately he can't force them to do that, nor can he instantly fixed the absolutely atrocious passing on display, we've had 10 minutes of clinical play around their box with Cardiff not getting a sniff and we get two goals.
Then we've had 30 minutes of everyone ****ing the ball away
He always allows the players more freedom in these type of matches which inevitably means there's less structure and more space for the opposition to run in to.Dont think we can blame the Jekyll and Hyde entirely on Rodgers tbh we have had this problem with smaller teams for a few seasons now.
Just seen the Norwich goal, what a strike!
He cant fix it instantly no but he could have changed midfield around early on but he doesnt nor does he ever sub Gerrard if he has a poor game.
Perhaps that is what you should do with a Captain, you keep them on, you want them to play through it and become the player they are. Second half to come, Gerrard will hopefully pull himself together and boss the midfield this time.
