Only one Borussia can do well per season apparently... On that note BVB puts their game away, Hannover played well tho.

Gotta root for Hanover. Steve Cherundolo is an assistant manager and many want him to be the next coach there.

For Ausberg and Hannover to both miss out on any points is brutal... Both deserved better.

Alright, it's time to change my avatar. I haven't really been calling for Brendan's head, but this shit is woeful. We go to OT, the biggest derby in English football, and play like that the first half? Then you get time with the team and you change...nothing? I just can't fucking take it anymore. I'm taking suggestions for my new avatar at this time.

***EDIT***Nevermind it's gonna be Jurgen Klopp.

Navas has maybe 7 goals in 100 matches ?

Fookin bank robber.

Navas plays well every week but he is seriously a head case when it comes to these goals. I think if he gets one it will improve his game overall. He has all the physical tools. But yeah, the miss yesterday pretty much sums up his past 40 games. It is why he is a winger and not a striker (among other reasons)!

Yea. I think it's us or...Liberia. He is a U.S. citizen now so it's just a question of when Jurgen calls him up, which I doubt will be for the match against Mexico. Maybe for the qualifiers, I think we play backwater Caribbean nations. Not that we won't lose, but getting him in quickly will be good.

Agree, that's why I was so frustrated that he missed that opportunity. Would have been a huge weight off of him.

Second...

He had Sturridge and Suarez, who were the top two scorers in the league that year. He adapted to a 4-4-2 diamond to accommodate them. He seems reluctant to do anything of the sort this year. He is insisting on a 4-3-3 when we don't have the personnel to play that system. Our only winger is Jordan Ibe, and we let Markovic out on loan.

We had Danny Ings out wide who is a striker, and Roberto Firmino who plays centrally. Seems like the 4-4-2 is the best system for our personnel at this time, but Rodgers refuses to adjust. He eventually will do something, like he does every year, but it's the same song, different season.

Don't get me started on the lack of motivation to play away in the biggest fucking derby in English football. I really haven't been on the Rodgers out campaign as of yet, but this performance has me seriously considering a replacement. He's had time, and he's just doing the same things. You don't recover losing Suarez, I get that, and the board got him no one last season. But damn you can't even get the guys fired up to play United away?

All our goals have been worldies. That's all we've shown in the attacking department this season aside from a half at the Emirates. This next run of fixtures are all winnable, so he needs to deliver, or it's only going to get worse for him.

Agreed on all counts. Despite the poor finish last year, I was a Rogers fan going into the off-season because I figured he was faced with the problem of integrating a lot of new signings and he did a nice job adjusting on the fly by going to that 3-4-3 system or whatever you want to call it when things weren't working out early on. But with the way this year has started, I'm starting to see that differently. It's starting to look like he just doesn't know what he's doing and he's just searching for answers trial-and-error style.

Whatever he's trying to do, it's not working. Benteke has been on an island all alone out there. Without Coutinho, the attack has no spark, and even with him, the spark is only sporadic.
