I did wonder this too, has he got a bit of an ego problem BR? Genuine question...
Let's step back a second. Kenny kept going back to Adam, Downing, Carroll and Henderson in his full season, even though when he did give The likes of Maxi and Kuyt games they far out performed the new signings.
Would people attack Kenny's ego?
No, it is what managers do, they buy players and always want to play those to prove they were right in their original evaluations.
And, unlike Kenny, it isn't as if Rodgers is ignoring inform players, we are pretty much a squad of poor players right now.
So the simpler question is can Rodgers learn from Kenny's mistakes and be brave enough to move away from the shape and formations he spent the summer planning for and which he spent money on players to 'fit' and just try and evolve into a team that works.
