My biggest issues with Rodgers is his focus on possession-based 'tiki-taka' play. That crap is all well and good, but I think teams have to be more diverse than that in order to be successful.

His woeful lack of a plan B in case plan A isnt working is very shortsighted, especially considering the fact that he cant even get plan A going properly. Even assuming that he can, there has to be more options than just that.

Remember that draw at Anfield on the weekend? That wonderful Suarez goal? That was 65 minutes of useless tiki-taka rescued by one long-ball.

One style of play does not a team make. At least not a good team.
