I'd be more worried if Rodgers didn't learn from his mistakes.
That's what managers learn from, ok, a bit later than we would have liked but we things are looking up now.

Agreed best team in a while

I think rodgers is proving that he has adaptability, over all I think he done extremely well. 2nd last season and now hes integrated several new players and lost 50 goals from his team, yet hes realised he has to change the formation.
Imo hes doing very well and i fully expect us to have a great 2nd half of the season.

He did persevere with Balo for too long.. but at least he has adapted and shown that he is resourceful and can work with what he's got.

Balo? In the 92nd minute, he was in the penalty box, and Swansea just regained possession. running flat out, a-la-Luis to win the ball back? Dream on. He just didn't make the effort.
Can, brilliant. Hendo, 100% better than he was against Burnley; he couldn't play worse. Lallana? MOTM. Absolutely no surprises there for me. close second? Coutinho. His positioning was excellent, what committment. great game, great win for the team.
