We're 2 different teams at the moment. The fast paced, counter attacking, direct style from last year is being eroded by slow paced & ponderous movement with crossing galore by the full backs - I dont know if Rogers thinks the team needs to revert to that with only Mario up front but I cant think of any of our players that style suits (even Balloteli prefers movement and quick passing in and around him).
Fingers crossed when Sturridge returns we go back to what worked last year as I've not got any confidence currently that what he is doing in the training is working.
Additionally, Gerrard is 34, he cant play every game - have the balls to drag him off when he isnt playing well - a 2 man midfield with him (regardless of his midfield partner) doesnt work. I lost count the amount of times they cut through Gerrard/Henderson last night as if they weren't there.
