Just want to say Kenny tactic was spot on tonite.
During 1st half I admit I was thinking that we should have started with Suarez and try to get early goal and then hold on to it.
People were saying that we were playing a depleted Arsenal team. But the fact is their starting eleven cosnsisted of all the regular players with exception of two; Frimpong and Jenkinson. But still we could have advantage of that. I'm dissapointed with our first half performance cause we did not play as a team. Not enough understanding between players, we hesitated on making forward passes, not enough off the ball movement.
But in term of KD plan I think it worked out well. Carroll made their defense worked hard to contain him and as a result Koscielny limped out of the game. That sets the stage nicely for Suarez to enter and terrorize their inexpereince defend. And when Frimpong sent off it was just the perfect time to unleash the no. 7 and for the plan to come together.
And we sure love it when a plan comes together!
But despite the win there's still a lot to be improved on especially on how the players to play as a team and work as a unit.
I think every player should cover each other , we have so many players that can carry the ball forward , (kuyt,downing,henderson,enrique,kelly,charlie adam)
watching lucas is the only player who cover for all of them , even I think charlie should be more discipline in tracking ball player ahnd helping lucas.I am very angry when I saw Vermalean carry the ball forward and blast it without any penetration from our midfield.
Last time we only have players like johnson and arbeloa who do all the attacking both side while the player like Alonso,Lucas,Mascherano cover the full back and take control in midfield.I am not worry because player like mascherano will chase the hell player that try to counter attack us.
We will see what happen when Gerrard is back.
