What changes to make if we get to 1-0 at HT then? 

 

Amartey is one of the most frustrating players. Runs forward. Stops the ball. Turns back. Passes back. Kills any forward momentum dead on the spot. Infuriating when there's space in front of him.

People complaining about the formation, I hate 352 more than anyone except Mark but clearly this gets our best currently fit players all on the pitch. 

 

I'm not entirely sure what you think would be different with 442 or 4231.

 

Who's on the bench that's a goal threat? 

 

Castagne and Ricardo are both more dangerous going forward than Albrighton and they're in a formation that let's them get forward with plenty back to cover. 

 

We'd be playing shit however we line up at the moment because quite frankly everyone's heads have gone. No belief anywhere in the pitch.

3 at the back is not working well for us. Need to go back to a back 4 (so Ricardo and Castage can come back a bit to pick up the ball and so we have an extra midfielder).

Agree. We can’t seem to transition from our defence to anyone further forward. Seems to be piss around the back line and a bit of pressure means we either give it away or hoof it forward. It’s pretty horrendous stuff

Plenty of other options than 3 at the back, we know it doesn't work and like against Burnley, it will start to look less disjointed when he inevitably changes it again 65-70 minutes in.

Yet you can’t think of one, that would work without putting injured players in! 
Okay

You are thinking of Mendy surely

Relax every one. I don't know what you expect.

Lose one of Madison, Tielemans and N'didi and we don't tend to win.

 

What you're seeing right now is normal, a bit unlucky but normal. We'd be lucky to score today unless we change formation which we need to do straight away IMO.

 

We cannot wait till half time or 60 mins.

We’re a shadow of the side we’re used to seeing, yes injurys hit us, but we have to get the basics right.

 

Sums our mentality up when we have a throw in on the edge of their area and 4 passes later it’s back at Schmeichel.

 

Were void of any confidence and it’s showing all over the pitch.

 

I have never understood the fascination to kick it out to the wings, we just lose possession every time.

 

Brendan has got to inject some belief into them from somewhere else the top 4/6 aspirations will fade fairly soon, no top 6 and this side could be picked apart.

 

Hope for a better second half and a back 4.

Confidence has completely evaporated from the whole squad. 

 

When we're up, as a whole squad, we're really up. But at the moment it's completely drained out of us and last year it took the summer to get it back. 

 

Rodgers needs to find a way of getting it back mid season. 

Not persisting with shambolic tactics that everyone is clearly uncomfortable and out of sorts in would be a start surely 🤷‍♂️

 

Don't know if he's seeing something drastically different in training compared to how they perform on the pitch, but either way these tactics don't work at the best of times, in particular 5 at the back against relegation fodder is a massive confidence boost to otherwise crap opposition. Begging our own downfall.
