tannerall 25,935 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 To build a great team you need a solid spine through the middle. A great goalkeeper, a great centre half, a solid hard middle man, and a centre forward who scores goals. Then you fit in the rest. Well I think we're almost there now. MacGregor, Goldson, ---------, and Morelos. Arfield and Jack could fit that spine, but maybe fall just a wee bit short. I think if we could acquire one hard tackling intelligent defensive mid in the next window and we could have the set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got that solid core then it becomes easier for the guys around them, a team wihout a decent goalkeeper or centre half or goal scorer would always struggle.

TMB 14,167 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 More like the Jurgen Klopp philosophy. This 4-3-3 counter pressing system is something Gerrard has obviously learned from his time coaching at Liverpool. Having a good spine of players would apply to any formation or playstyle, it's universal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
