Title: Rodgers is the problem; Rodgers can be the solution.

Bob Pearce, Mihail Vladimirov, Daniel Rhodes and Sami Faizullah (@SamiFaizullah) (from football tactics website ‘Outside of the Boot’.)

Topics: 

Balotelli: does he cause any problems? The need for complimentary movement and midfield runners, as well a second striker, to get the best out of him.

Gerrard: can we minimise the defensive weaknesses anymore? Do we have any options to replace him? What type of matches should he be selected in?

Defence: the importance of the correct system. The need for a set piece specialist coach.

Conclusion: Rodgers now faces the challenge of solving many tactical issues in the coming months.
