I think it comes down to him being used to Spain's slower tempo and more time on the ball.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Talk about Soton, many were impress with their standings now, but I am more impress with their defends.

Only conceded 5 goals after 10 league games, and 2 of their back 4 is new.. Lets just raid their defensive coach.

Calm down peeps.. we know it was always gonna be hard without Suarez.. and now without Studj... obviously it'll be worse.

Our Defensive woes were always there, but without the goals to offset the ones we concede, it's even more obvious.

Yes, BR has employed some questionable tactics. Players in the starting line up are questionable.

I'd personally like to see Lallana start more games. Borini up front with Balo..

1 striker just wont cut it.

might as else get the main coach. Coz the whole backroom staff has been appalling

On a side note, those beautiful compliments wrote by Suarez in his book suddenly become a distant memory...

You need a long sleep may be...

You don't win anything with leaking defence.



In 4-3-3 formation, and diamond, you need wingback to provide the width and running up and down the touchline.
If fullback doesn't roaming up, it is easy for opponent to defend a narrow tight centre area. That's what happened last night, have plenty of ball and possession, but no penetration.

In the first half, Liv has about 65% possession, and no single shot on target and Tim Krul basically can have a cup of coffee between his goal post.

If rafa has transfer kitty like BR im sure we will be a force in europe again. 4-0 again madrid. Remember?now madrid ayamkan Liverpool...bodoh pnya BR

Looking at Arsenal...boy none of the players we bought in our 100m spree got the impact of Sanchez. Would rather spend all that money on one player if we'd known it'll turn out like this

I still remembered at start of season under KK that year, Liv was roaming forward fiercely, and about average 2-3 woodwork per matches.
Many pundit also said Liv was unlucky to win those matches.

Sorry, I don't have the stat, but I did watch those matches, it is the second half season, that Liv spiralling down (in term of performance).

There were many discussion in this forum as well talk joke about wrong shooting practice that aim the woordwork.

I think if you said you like the BR's style of play last season, or second half of first season BR in charge, then no argument.

But if said like BR style of play since this season style, then I would expect bombardment of disagreement.

No matter how well was the style is, it is history. It is about the style now that give awful performance that led to the criticism, as well as stubbornness in tactical formation.

reason for full backs to roam up, is to support the wingers when they cut in...if they cut in...which they didnt do much off last night.
so actually the fullbacks didnt need to roam up so high, which johnson didnt do much off anyway...and when he did...he lost the ball
moreno on the other side, roamed further up, but that was solely down to obertan getting himself injured freeing up the space needed for him.

from BR's PC, it sounded more like he was playing for a draw anyway...

Actually, there is no winger in 4-3-3 system.

The goal conceded was not Johnson fault after all.
There were enough defenders to cover ground vs just 2-3 Newcastle players.
It was a simple defending mistake, a gift actually.

Anyway, it makes little different with 1 point vs 0 point.
You want to well in the league, 3 points is the target for every match, may be only exception when facing top team.

technically the 2 wide forwards are wingers.
its not like all 3 up front will stand in front of the box anyway.

but still yesterday was a mess.
im sure by now everyone has seen the screen grab of balo's touches, with only one in the penalty box...and all his others were everywhere...as always.
its like BR is so hard up in trying to prove that balo is not the player he used to be, by showing that balo can play everywhere...instead of being up front scoring goals...
just like how BR was so proud in declaring that balo actually defended a corner in his debut.

That I disagree. Given BR's credibility in coaching and judging from what I have seen in the last 3 years..BR will not do well even with all marquee players he wanted in the team. Of course, that's my opinion.

I rank him slightly above Woy at the moment in terms of managerial capability.

King Kenny FTW!!!



ok kolos

never kolos also
