Wonder if the weekends 2nd half diamond was with this game in mind, if so I can see the following: ----------------Mig Clyne Lovren Sakho Moreno ---------------Can --------Milner----Allen -----------Coutinho -------Origi---Sturridge If not then Lallana for Sturridge is obvious change.

Depends on your definition of legend. Excellent player, part of the best CB partnership the club ever had and one of the top 5 defenders in the history of the club. I choose to reserve the word legend for just 3-5 players though otherwise it's in danger of becoming diluted. FFS don't get me started on those horrible "legend" games, Kvarme plays for christ sake!!

I'm not sure you know what point you're trying to make!

I guess it depends on whether or not you are looking for another stick to beat him with, I suspect for a lot it just comes down to a personality thing as opposed to what he is actually saying! I'm living in the states and watch that to$$er Craig Burley on ESPN FC with the rest of the idiots on the panel and they constantly have a running joke about Rodgers using "Character" in his post match interviews along with talking up each performance. Lets be honest EVERY manager in football talks nonsense in those pre/post match interviews, that's why aside from any injury news they are not worth listening too! Media/pundits just smell blood in the water regarding his position and know it's easy sales/ratings to constantly bash him until something gives. It's simple for him to correct, win enough football matches and eventually no body gives two $hits about what you say, or as we've seen in the cases of Ferguson and Mourinho most things you say get treated like it's the word of God. Personally I have never given too much credence to what he has been saying but rather focus on his strange decisions of playing people out of position or even not playing them at all!

Please tell us more, for those of us unlucky enough to miss it first time round!

I think he was referring to the reaction of (unluckily) going a goal down rather than the performance up to the slip. It was clear to see we panicked in the 2nd half, I remember countless occasions we hit crosses into the box from deep, something we hadn't done all season. The love affair Mourinho has with the UK press makes my skin crawl at the best of times, but the way he was heralded for giving Rodgers some sort of lesson in tactics based on a game that swung on a bad mistake and then exposed our lack of experience and options from the bench, took things to a new height!
