Lawrenson: Liverpool is "rudderless"

Former Liverpool player Mark Lawrenson has castigated Rodgers' team as "rudderless", "low on confidence and lacking definitive way of playing." The BBC Sport pandit said the Reds has slugged to the bottom as fast as they tittered forward last season. Following Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Basel, Liverpool exited the group stage in a shameful farewell after recording several defeats in the Champions league. Lawrenson criticised Rodgers as depending on injured and sidelined Daniel Sturridge and signed-off Luiz Suarez who scored 31 goals in 33 games last season. The former Republic of Ireland defender lambasted boss Brendan's reliance on Suarez and Sturridge as "saviours", claiming those players were actually 50% of the team as Reds' key players are out of form. Liverpool falls ninth on the Premier league table and will face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
