They have a summer of a larger turnover of players than previous seasons as well as potentially a new man in the dugout so they may not hit the ground running. Grasping at straws I guess but they are the facts.
I refuse to concede 9 is inevitable. We need to be more cute regarding tactics. We are too one dimentional and the 4-3-3 will continue to break down until we have the upgrade in quality to implement it correctly. Our wide men and midfield as many have mentioned do not contribute enough goals or assists for 433 to work. Most of us can see this so believe me Gerrard will also.
As we have seen time and time again mark Alfredo and Tav out the game and we are toothless. As much as I like Alfredo both him and Tav should be sold if the right money is offered and all proceeds have to be made available to add the quality in the areas I have mentioned.
We also need to be able to change formations and if Morelos can't play as a two I'm afraid regardless of how good he is he is of little use to us to where we need to be.
Summer recruitment is going to have to be bang on this summer or we will continue to see the same pattern of play next season.
