GorlestonFox Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Perez must be doing wonders in training!

Jattdogg Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 (edited) We win this 3 nil. or Lose 2 nil. Edited 13 December 2020 by Jattdogg
peach0000 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 We essentially have two teams of players. One that play this system and another who have been playing the midweek fixtures (ie under and barnes). It's about squad management at this stage of the season. If we do a job on these and then in midweek start under, barnes etc and win that game then it will look like a masterstroke. Players need rotating at this time of the season. No need to panic. Win this and go third, in December, sometimes I think this fan base act a little bit entitled which is a shame. 1
Hales Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 (edited) Why NO Cengo and Barnes . Ridiculous 🤦♀️🤷♀️ We should be going out to kill the game, then sub them off Edited 13 December 2020 by Hales
hejammy Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 (edited) Albrighton over Under? Against Brighton? Edited 13 December 2020 by hejammy
Mint23 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Rogers out, bring back the glory days of the early naughties with Kelly, Megson and Allen!!! Those guys would have us 75 points clear by now!

Foxxed Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 ...maybe we’re saving Barnes and Under for the heavy Christmas period? Thomas okay?
jayfox26 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 If we dont win tonight, there will be serious questions asked of Rodgers' team selection and tactics. That team looks honking!
Carl the Llama Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Still 45 minutes to kick off, I think I'll skip out til then.
justfoxes Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Bloody hell quite a few more Dooom & Gloooom merchants more than usual on here tonight can’t they just wait till the lads have played for a bit first ffs ?????
foxfan92 Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 As I tried to say in the pre-match thread Fofana has only ever played consistently in a back 3. He's 19 - only had limited experience of the Premier league - and while I think he's been brilliant on the whole - has a few mistakes in him. If Soyuncu was fit I'm sure we'd be a back 4. Given injuries and Ndidi Still finding his fitness - he's being rightly cautious. I'd much prefer a back 4 myself - but there's no point being better as an attacking side while leaking goals ag the back too. Brighton aren't a bad side. In fact as shown by Fulham just drawing with Liverpool - the Premier league is all about those small margins and you cant take.any team for granted. There's subs there capable of changing the formation and tactics later in the game if necessary. 2
steveherbe Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Don't agree with this selection, Rodgers is seriously pissing me off now. Is he really Liverpools Agent Rodgers, only here to stop us winning summat?

winteriscoming Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Thought he’d start with 1 out of under and Barnes. Just don’t see any width with that side. We will end up being too narrow. Perez and Maddison both prefer playing thru the middle.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 Looks a set up scared of losing rather than one thats going to get at them but it should still have enough. We can't afford to be throwing away more points to dross if we're serious about any top 4 ambitions. 1

"Play as well as you like, you still won't start league matches." More likely he's managing the squad and we likely have "two teams" now with groups of players that play together. E.g. Barnes and Under play together when we play a system that uses both, and both played really well midweek. Wouldn't surprise me if we start with both against Everton for example, and Rodgers keep players fresh by doing this. I remember AC Milan back in the 90's had essentially two teams, one to play the European games and one to play Serie A games when they were the dominant team around. I think he will have told specific players already which games he has planned to use them in, meaning that they can play at 100% in the games they are selected in and still be kept fresh.
kyleolly Posted 13 December 2020 Posted 13 December 2020 How’s Under supposed to get used to the intensity of the premier league if Brendan won’t play him in the premier League

Playing 5 atb gives you just the wingbacks on the flanks. Four at the back gives you more width with wingers that would help occupy or double up on Lamptey. ....If he were playing. I was really hoping to see Cengiz and Barnes though 1

Yeah Under did well against some Greek farmers on Thursday, but I’m not convinced about him in the prem
