I agree that the substitution helped to give Bournemouth a foothold in the match but it's not the reason Kasper made a terrible decision for the first goal, why Soyuncu backed off and then went crazy for the second or why our defence went completely missing for the third and fourth.

Rodgers tactical and substitution decisions are certainly up for debate and I'd agree that he has made mistakes in the second half of the season. But the lack of professionalism from some players concern me more.

Who is suggesting that Rodgers substitute decision cost us 4 goals? No one. But the second half of the season has been littered with tactical mistake after tactics mistake after tactical mistake from Rodgers. The kind of mistakes other managers have got absolutely savages for (including Pearson)

In fact this second of the season is very similar to the Pearson season in the championship where we went from automatic contenders to scraping the playoffs.

Rodgers is ultimately responsible for coaching these players, getting the tactical decisions more right than wrong and instilling the right mentality into them. Of course the players take responsibility, but if things don’t get better - there’s only one person that will pay with his job

I seem to remember SAF always went with the two goal lead philosophy..... Hope I spelt that correct or is it correctly?

Problem seems with this Manager is he has too much confidence in this lack lusture squad.

We should of been 0-3 up at half time and sitters were missed.

Do not ever sit on a 1-0..... maybe a mid table team but not a team fighting for their life.

Our manager is a T and theirs was underrated..
