Its a slow day at work, so I'll clarify.

I'm not advocating that Liverpool become a 90s era long-ball team, not at all. What I'm saying is that great teams do what it takes to win. If a team is set up to win games in a certain way, ie. tiki-taka possession, then great.

But if that isnt working, then the team has to be able to find another way to win and thats something, among a great many things, that I dont think Rodgers either understands, is willing to accept or is capable of doing anything about.

He wants to win with strict possession play. Great. Well we're playing with possession and doing nothing with it. We need a striker, I understand that, but we're not finding ways to win and this team has no flow to it. Its too rigid in its system and it has few, if any, options.

I know he hasnt had much time or money, and thats okay, he'll get his opportunity in January and then we'll see what he can do, but what kind of timeline are we comfortable with? 2 seasons? 3? More?
