What formation were we playing in the second half today? As far as i could tell it was something like a 3-2-2-1-2, switching to a 4-4-2 when Wisdom went off. Will we see this more often?
And what the hell happened to our passing possession game today? it was all good until they got that 1st goal, then they started pressuring and our composure seemed to fall apart and we just hoofed it upfield or tried to play long balls, which is all good every now and then, but when were in the lead and under that sort of pressure we just needed to calm things down and retain possession to control the tempo, this has been a problem the last few games when we've come under periods of pressure. maybe its just the inexperience of our young players but its something I think we need to sort out.
Not sure why he brought Henderson on to play right wing when both Assaidi and Downing were sat on the bench, only thing i can figure is that he thought Henderson would be more defensive and provide more cover for the RB. I would have loved to have seen Assaidi get on instead though.
Good to see Enrique have good game for once, hopefully its a sign he's regaining form

No no no no! We were playing a 3-5-2 when on the ball, and 5-3-2 defending!
That's why we ended up battling with Everton instead of playing our usual tiki-taka game. Against a side as good as Everton (at least playing away from home) we clearly simply lack quality to dominate the opposition.
Very good tactics from BR, acknowledging that at half time!

I thought enrique had an average game. He was ball watching for our 2nd goal conceded.

In the second half, although we started to take the battle with Everton, you could clearly see that we had some trouble playing with 3 CB's too (these things do happen from time to time before you have practised enough - I'm just making an observation here). The wide defensive areas were soo open for Everton's wide men to explore.

Good to see Enrique have good game for once, hopefully its a sign he's regaining form second half subs and tactic were spot on for me , he need to change it and did and only for a bottling linesman we would have won

Actually Shelvey should of been on instead of Suso who has done nothing for me since his debut. Sahin is more experienced and is a threat going forward on counter attacks.

Absolutely, I was shocked to see him tinkering with the whole formation in the middle of the match, I think its the first time we do this under Rodgers, went to a back 3 with wingbacks which is a formation I like to see more of.
