Brendan Rodgers’ sides can’t defend
Trending
While he can set up his teams to play scintillating football, there is no escaping the fact that the former Liverpool manager still has a long way to go ensure that his teams can eke out results, especially with their defensive frailties.
Inability to convert advantageous positions into victories was an issue that plagued his Liverpool career and the issue does not seem to have gone away for the Northern Irishman.
His side led on all the three occasions during the game and should ideally have closed the game with a win. However, it was not to be, as they granted the visitors a path back into the game with lack of defensive discipline.
While many might attribute the equalisers to the quality in the City line-up, it is also the defensive inefficiencies of the side that provided the Manchester club with an opportunity.
The balance that is required in offense as well as defence does not exist in Rodgers’ teams and he will need to sort that out to become one of the best in the business.
