The fact that Rodgers did not trust any of his youth until the final third of the season is, quite honestly, pretty frightening. What would Liverpool's season have looked like if Gerrard, Suarez, Agger and Mignolet had not have had a completely healthy season? There would be mass panic for all of us Liverpool fans. Who would take their place. Well, we do have the former Barcelona man Luis Alberto who is a quality striker, but hasn't seemed to earn his spot onto the team sheet. Why that is, none of us know. But I, for one, am very upset about that. Youth is power and not using that power is a complete waste. Another talented youth player that hasn't played as much as he deserves to, is Jordan Ibe. A quick, technical attacking player that could bring loads of creativity to the Liverpool attack, but he hasn't seen the pitch at all this year. The even more frightening part is that Ibe was picked up this past summer. And for what? Did Rodgers spend that money with no intent to play Ibe? That's what it looks like to me. Rodgers did not want to be criticised like Wenger for not buying anyone so he spent money on players he had no intent on using. The one that infuriates me the most is Iago Aspas. Aspas is one of the most creative players on the Liverpool roster right now. And he has only seen the pitch a few times this year and for a very short amount of time. His creativity could've been used when Chelsea parked the bus, but Rodgers did not trust him. His lack of trust could be from the lack of playing time Aspas had gotten though. And whose fault would that be?
Don't get me wrong, Rodgers is a great manager and I love what he has done with this Liverpool squad. However, some changes do need to be made in order for Liverpool to remain dominant in seasons to come and not have to rely on the goal scoring capabilities of Luis Suarez.
