Whilst he's got an unbelievable cross on him and a good pass, can't help but think Thomas might have issues with his pace in the Premier League playing at full back.

The problem is that we attack by keeping possession and building something. That's Rodgers whole MO. 

 

Wing backs is just an awful system for retaining possession. You need to stretch the pitch, make it wider, have a balanced shape that uses up the space on the field to properly move it around. To both keep the ball and move it up the park. 

 

It just doesn't work with wingbacks. 

I think Wing backs can work, but more in a back 4 if you have one going forward, one staying back so you end up with a pseudo-three-at-the-back. Worked so well for us for most of last season. 

 

I think the problem with an ACTUAL back 3 with wing backs is that it leaves us with less players further up the pitch to keep possession of the ball. That's why it doesn't work in Rodgers' system.

[StanSP]

Ooh Praet could have had a go I think. 

[Izzy]

No one does a diving header clearance quite like Morgan. Majestic

[Dahnsouff]

These officials seem slightly biased

[Guest Electric Yetis]

This ref and linesmen are atrocious.

By wing backs I do mean any system with 5atb.

Love what Denny did there. Got some skills he does.

[egg_fried_rice]

These officials are absolute muck

[FoxesWalk]

These officials... what a contrast to our last Europa game. Shocking. 

[StanSP]

Justin injured ? 

[Pliskin]

Bunch of ponies this lot. Go down more than Katie Price on a school night.
