"It is ofton the case that for the last 15minutes , if we are a goal down or perhaps trying to win the game we play only 3 at the back and we appear to get better control of the midfield, and more players in the box. is it too much to hope that we could start a game in that mode"
"hey xxrussx if we play 3 back it would be a bigger waste. Playing 4 at the back against a lone striker is perfect as the two centre halves look after the striker and the fullbacks can be used as a great attacking threat
"
"i like him with Suarez. pliz lets win our games am hoping we can make 2 more signings. Top 4 is very vital this season. we dont want to loose some of the good players come next season 4 lack of champions league football. The owners should boost the tempo soon enough.
YNWA."
"Well said Steve! right observations on Dan Sturridge and Stevie G. The first has allowed BR to permute the usual 4-3-3 in a more suited 4-4-2 and supply a bigger threat to the opponent defences. Whilst Stevie has demonstrated to be upthere with the best, if not the best, just KD can contend him the first spot at the eyes of the LFC supporters YNWA"
"we were playing 4-3-3 imo... i believe henderson was positioned on the wing but was allowed to play more central when we had the ball because johnson would make runs down the wing... and when we didnt have the ball he would push out more wide... and clearly suarez was playing the number 10 role..."
"I do agree that KK is still number 1. Great player for us, great player/manager for us, great manager, great ambassador. Great man...
His conduct in the aftermath of Hillsborough is the stuff of legend on its own."
"My recollection of the last game against Arsenal, was that we looked good, but lost out to a couple of counter attacks. Hopefully, Rodgers will make the necessary changes to stop this from happening without being too timid, like we were in the first half against Man U. I'd be surprised if Arsenal don't try to do the same again."
"Never appreciated strurridge when he played for chelsea but i feel he can shine LFC. wE live to see though. its all about team work and understanding...............YNWA "
" always knew lfc would be good for daniel and that daniel will be great for us. has got off to flying start and still not 100%. hope he continue with luis to play and score. come on you reds. YNWA"
"It wasn't 442 and it wasn't the normal 433 that Rodgers usually plays. It shifted between formations, with Johnson as left winger and full back, Suarez and Sturridge interlinking, taking it in turns to be the central front man and downing largely down the right. All the while we had a midfield 3 which Henderson impressively spearheaded...cont..."
"It's a formation which is, in the words of BR, fluid - difficult for teams to defend against, especially with high pressing and ball retention. I suspect, however, it won't be too much like this away from home. We need to be a bit more clued up and tactically adept in the next league games for sure but I'd be happyif we could still take the game to arsenal and city like we have been at home."
"bit ironic to see him giving plaudits now after criticising signing of dan. of coruse we can improve, but if we can beat everyone but the top 6, then i'd consider it a decent first season and could get a good position. league is made up of 20 teams, not just the top 6. "
"Sturridge is definitely a great asset to Liverpool. He played too few matches at Chelsea and we r lucky to get him. With a good lineup and teamwork, he will help with Suarez to score more goals.
I wish to see him, Suarez and my fav Sterling play upfront together. They are mentally strong and eager. "
"Löoking at top rich clubs we hav done well but Man city has got there as well bcz of wnning the league.we hav 2 invst in our weak areas.please put ths accrss to FSG.cz as funs we r fedup wite there gmes. We can get top 4 if thy lsten to the funs."
