andyp-
No I'm talking about improving the defense through different training rather than sacking the manager that is actually quite good considering the club.
I know I'm probably in the minority here but for me Rodgers is a decent manager & has done a good job considering the mess Liverpool were in but he's never been particularly defensively minded. The lack of goals (due to being without the two best strikers from last season) wouldn't be as much of a problem if the defense weren't shipping soft goals every game.
Should we lose the improved attacking football by sacking the manager & getting someone more defensive in? No, we should keep the good forward play & get someone in to help with the back-line. They're not bad players, they're just making the wrong decisions or plain old mistakes - different training for when the team doesn't have the ball would help Liverpool.

Pretty disappointed by fellow Liverpool fans calling for Rodger's head, he's been a good manager for us & is just going through a bad spell whilst missing his best player.
I would like to see him possibly hire a new defensive coach though, something isn't right there & needs to be addressed.
I also think the players need to be toughened up some how - so many goals this season have been conceded within 30 seconds of one of our players being weak when things get a bit physical. Oddly it's the bigger/older guys that seem to be happy to fall to the floor & Sterling is the only one I can think of this season that's shown any fight to stay on his feet.
