Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has lost his self-belief. Scholes wrote in the Independent: "Last season I felt he (Rodgers) had a confidence about him, and would pick attacking, positive teams. His selection on Tuesday was nothing like that.
"Liverpool needed to blast Basle out of the way. Instead Rodgers left Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho on the bench.
"It was a game he needed to win and yet he picked a midfield of Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson and Lucas Leiva - all solid players but more than two from those three and the side feels defensive.
"At half-time he brought on a left-back, Alberto Moreno, and a winger, Lazar Markovic, who has done very little for him so far.
"Then when he did bring on Coutinho, a No 10 to his boots - he even wears the number - he played the Brazilian in central midfield."
