KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool's style of play

It looked like Liverpool changed their style of play today and were passing the ball back to hold on to possession before we slowly built up the attack, this in my mind was a lot better than just going for it and I think today we have the goals to show for it too.

The difference was our fullbacks kept there position. And because of the movement from Kuyt, Lucas & Gerrard going forward, allowed our wingers to be more involved in the game. Something we need to do more. I feel if Reira was on the pitch he would have destroyed them.

yes, Reira far more better than babel

I think the difference if partly because of Insua who is great defensively, always willing to go forward and support the attack, and always pressuring opposing player even in their penalty box (allowing us to regain possession)...

And the full backs and wide players are doing a great job too by giving the team the required width...

Alonso is having his best season ever in Midfield by controlling the midfield area...

Just hope we keep the same style of play and start a long run of consecutive wins...

we are finally starting to play like the valencia team that rafa led to the spanish title and destroyed us at anfield in the champions league

I remember the football lesson they gave us...

They looked more like a machine than a team...

Lets hope so then we could be looking at the double this season or maybe more.

I... FINALLY started enjoing watching our modern LFC (I'm quite old-fart!), these last 2-3 matches.
Maybe that happent, because Rafa was... in hospital! HAHAHA!
Don't get me wrong. I'm supporting the team, Rafa included, but EVERYBODY KNOWS (Cara said it, in his book) how totally defensive coach Rafa is... And the last games, oh boy, what OFFENSIVE TEAM we were! THAT's the bloody spirit!
Have you, lads, seen LFC in '80s? The team was like a "CHUNAMI" wave! In few secs, from the defence... 4-6 players were dash forward to the offence, with 2-3 passes and the last was in the net!
THAT REMINDS me, the last 2-3 games, ESPECIALLY the last game in the TOON! Oh boy, what a game! All the goals were rapid-thunderbolds, not only as shots, but as play...

THAT's LFC I WANT!

LOL I am a young fart but I tell you we looked more like a CL, PL and cup winning team against Newcastle but if we kept that up for a few games how long would it be before people start complaining that we are playing boring football.

people used to complain back in the 80s that we were boring to watch
