Dahnsouff Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Fancy Brendan has more than one tactical plan in his mind, judging by this signing, unless he views Perez as competition for Maddison?

urban.spaceman Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Thought his assists were underwhelming (2 last season) but then I realised he was playing for ****ing Newcastle.

car1os Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Sorry if already posted but he’s scored 48 goals in 195 appearances for Newcastle... not a bad rate, although some of these will have been in the Championship
Babylon Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 17 minutes ago, Papasmurf said: Decent player but absolutely no idea where he fits into our starting 11. A wide player he most certainly isn't. If he plays at 10 does that mean Madison isn't in the side? We've seen spending a fortune on forwards and not playing them in their natural positions doesn't work with Slim and Musa. You watch Newcastle or even just his highlights posted in this thread and you can see he's all over the shop and actually seems to start from wide more often than he doesn't. He's not a touch the byline and whip a cross in player, he's going to be more than comfortable in the wider / inside forward role cutting in.
AKCJ Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Brendan did play with a diamond a lot when Liverpool finished 2nd under him. He might be lining something up like; Vardy Perez Maddison Tielemans Choudhury Ndidi

It's pure sauce.
Ric Flair Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 This signing reminds me of West Ham getting Arnautovic, just Perez seems slightly less erratic and more trustworthy. He will do well under Rodgers.

Already got Gray and Albrighton not getting into this formation. With Chilwell and Ricardo loving to bomb forward and overlap, I think that gives us the width too in either formation. Barnes, Gray and Albrighton will be limited to very few games if we do sign another winger.

I'm not convinced Rodgers is keen on Ndidi, he was rarely subbed before Rodgers arrived but he took him off quite often, he wants more reliable passer in that position to mix the play up.

Ali Begbie Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 Good player and will be a good signing but £30m seems a bit dear... Didn't he give Chilwell a bit of a roasting when they beat us at the KP

Vardy Perez Barnes Tielemans Maddison Ndidi Not sure which is Perez's strongest side to be honest but always thought Barnes was better on the left. Team is shaping up to be very flexible though and should have a decent enough bench too, although how decent will depend on players like Gray and Iheanacho and how they respond to BR. Last chance 6 months for either IMO.

Vardy Barnes / Albrighton Ayoze / Gray Maddison Tielemans Ndidi I reckon it's that formation but looking more like this, based on where players tended to play last season. But Rodgers has shown to be quite flexible. 343 against Watford in his first match, and going 4231 with Ndidi and Choudhury against teams in Europe. I think Ayoze's versatility is again useful here as he could fulfil a number of roles. I'm already looking forward to seeing the preseason games to see what tactics are tried.

I think you are reading too much into him being substituted Subbed off after 87 mins against Huddersfield while 4-1 up - pretty much a nothing substitution Subbed off after 72 mins while 1-0 down and chasing the game against Newcastle - perfectly normal tactical substitution to make Subbed at half time v Arsenal as they had gone down to 10 men and as such didn’t really need him and Choudhury both on the pitch and with Choudhury being a bit more creative Ndidi was the obvious choice to sub Subbed off after 66 mins for Okazaki vs Chelsea for him to make his final appearance

RumbleFox Posted 3 July 2019 Posted 3 July 2019 I love a "potential line ups" chat. Does something to my very soul. Looks like we have lots of exciting options. Top 6 definite possibilty. X

He played a few games centrally for WBA so he has some experience there, but he's definitely a winger first and foremost.
