Strangely enough I think that Gerrard shares this opinion (based only on what we have seen in pre season and the sheep game). Could just be the way to 55.

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm more concerned about the plan B which has been missing. We need to be able to switch to two up top imo if we can't break teams down. I think the 433 we play is good (incredible in Europe) when we have space. Last season when teams caught onto it we had nothing to switch to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing from Sat or olore pre season suggets that at all, imo. Just a random thought that I felt like posting. You are free to disagree with it.

graeme_4 34,461 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It’s a 4-3-3. New signings will be signed to / have to fit into it. Think there will be more focus on the central striker playing more like Firminho. Dropping in and allowing the ‘two 10s’ to get beyond. Roofe is perfect for that role. Might actually have some competition for the front 3 now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s possibly even more tied to the 4-3-3 than Warburton. Not sure how you could possibly see a system with 3 at the back from preseason? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here every team sits in(apart from them) and that style of play maybe doesn't suit us in the league as we don't have the same quality to unlock the packed defences.

Doubt that'll change. Tried it away to Motherwell, had Flanagan at centre back. Appeared to have two up top against St Johnstone after half time in the 2-2, then changed to normal when we went 2-1 up, plus Braga with whatever formation we ended up with. That’s all I can think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've taken offence to something I haven't said, I was merely suggesting that he's trying to copy a system that might not suit us as much as it does Liverpool as they have much better quality. I'd love see us continuously play fast free flowing football as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
