Yes but the situation he was in, out wide as part of a double defensive unit, fullbacks further up the field, ushered and encouraged to pass back to Reina rather than stick the ball down the line, is entirely Rodgers' doing.
Accepting responsibility for stylistic errors (Rodgers said Enrique was out of position, making Skrtel's options limited) are important when bringing in a new style of play. Skrtel was out of his comfort zone and he made a mistake, it's Rodgers job to hold his hands up and take the blame for putting him there.
To be honest I don't think you have much of a clue about man management, or even Ferguson. Ferguson came out in his press conference yesterday and spoke about the importance of publicly defending your players, even if they are in the wrong.
You either don't fully understand the implications of Rodgers accepting the blame on that particular occasion, or you're laughing at thin air.
Either way it's pretty dense.
