Brendan Rodgers lays into referee after Liverpool crash at West Brom | Football | The Observer
Brendan Rodgers' first League game ended in abject defeat. A 3-0 away thrashing by what would be considered a run of the mill side showed just how much needs to be done and what a mediocre team Liverpool have become. You know things are bad when Stevie Gerrard has a bad game, being directly responsible for 1 goal and numerous stray passes. The word calamity cannot begin to describe the performance with the players very sluggish and lacking ideas. To compound matters, 2 penalties were given away, Dan Agger sent off, Joe Cole strained a hamstring and there were numerous yellow cards. Jamie Carragher made 701 appearances as a substitute for the decrepit Downing but it was one to forget. Luis Suarez missed excellent chances whilst Borini went missing. One more thing, Phil Dowd was rubbish. I guess slow starts aren't just limited to players. Elsewhere in the league there were some 5-0 thrashings. Liverpool were lucky not to be in that list.
