The fact is despite all the talk - we blew the title when Rodgers tried to beat Chelsea (former boss Jose) in a game we didn't need to win. Gerrard slipped..we panicked and lost a game we were more than comfortable in. Then when 3 goals up away at Palace we went for GD and tried to win away by 6..! This is the reality
Hendo was much improved that season - as was virtually every player in the team. A devastating attacking front line of Suarez - Sturridge and Sterling with Coutinho behind and Gerrard behind that... Makes the life of any player... a box-to-box one especially - one hell of a lot easier.
We won our last 9 games of the season. I Would hardly say we bottled it!
No manager worth his salt is gong out to try and draw games. We'd have all gone spastic if he'd set us up 4-5-1 and put everyone behind the ball.
