But let's see how the game pans out before judging, as people lost their minds in the first half of Man City and we won 5-2. Admittedly his tactics were awful against West Ham though!

I was saying something similar last week, that neither Kelechi or Slimani are really good enough to lead the line on their own. Barnes' pace should be a threat in itself and his pressing will be key. It's a bit of an odd formation, but I won't knock it until I've seen it tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bennytwohats Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 The last time I slated a lineup pre-match was when we beat City 5-2, so I should know better... but this fills me with some dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Rodgers trying to be clever again, there is no in-between with him. Imagine it will be Justin in the back 3 rather than Fuchs. Copying what Man City did with Walker on Aubameyang. If they had this in mind why did Fuchs play 90 on Thursday. Not sure what the formation furthe forward is. 541 diamond? Wants pace upfront but with Vardy not being fit enough to start. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Strange to not go with Kelechi. I'm not his biggest fan but at least he's a striker. Barnes' composure and finishing is questioned a lot as it is. Similar to when Puel played Gray in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing it *could* be is that some teams use a "false 9" where the striker starts up top but comes back in, and two or more players push past him. Fabregas for example sometimes started as the "striker" for Spain in Euro 2012. The reason for doing this is that it drags defenders out of position and if they are slow, you can exploit that space. But I don't think it's that because Barnes is all about his direct pace rather than linking the play, unless someone like Praet or Maddison played as the False 9 instead. But thinking about it... that is a possibility... Edited 25 October 2020 by StriderHiryu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hejammy Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Hmmm no striker means defensive? If it does then its really annoying how BR feels we need to go defensive?
