KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum is it really coming together?

Although we haven't beaten anyone of real quality (but we have played some top teams off the park) I feel it is coming together (and its about.time).
Imo we seem to have a set formation, 4231 and the players seem to know what were at now. Another positive is that we've players who can slot into several of the positions (granted we need a cb, lb and cf). Looking at matchdays it doesn't really matter whos playing ( obviously we always will be better with the better players in the team...ls, sg etc). For example and within reason, Lucas Allen Stevie could play in the 2. Coutinho, borini, sg, jonjo, Allen, sterling, suso, downing, Luis,and sturridge could play the differing 3 positions and the up top alone could be Luis, Danny and possibly borini. Now I'm not saying all of those are great and obviously a cavani neymar and Ronaldo could possibly make the team (if they were lucky.....) But the point is the players can easily fill many roles within that formation and FINALLY they look like they know how to play it SUCCESSFULLY

the only thing about predicting momentum is, usually at this point we implode. i will quietly hope but i wont hold my breath. we need to hold players over the summer and add one or two more, anyone of quality going out the door will be disasterous and projects a club that hasnt got a clear goal, its trying to do it on a shoe string. (relatively speaking)

Not for me. Our league position hasn't imroved at all, and that's what matters most.

too late to tell for this season. how they perform from the outset next season when the pressue and expectation is cranked up again will provide the answer.

we've turned this corner a few times alright, harry kewell was the last piece, as was Robbie Keane, Joe Cole

god there are so many past players im glad to see the back of. kewell is one of them, although i liked his song to the tune of daddy cool.

Too many false dawns to remember.

I agree Sam. It does look like things are coming along nicely. At the start of the season we looked shaky...really shaky. Thin squad, players played out of position, entire squad trying to understand and effectively execute tiki taka etc.
Compare that to now where we have added a few great additions to the squad, players getting more game time in their preferred postions and the squad looking like they have now come to grips with the style of football expected of them by the manager.
Whilst I cannot say I am entirely pleased with our log position thus far, I am quietly optimistic for the future.

For me the next game will be a very good indication of where we are, we are playing at home against a team that has been performing very well but just had only 2 days rest. We have had a decent run and BR has had all the time required to get his system in place, has spend around 50m and kept our best players.

It's a difficult one I think. This might sound unfair, but if we fail to compete or are fairly beaten, the signals won't be good at all. On the other hand, if we do well it'll give us a great boost for this season as well as next in terms of belief but that's all.

The real test will be the first half of next season, or even the first 10 games. By then BR will have had 1 whole season and 3 transfer windows. If we're not competetive during that period it won't be good.

But I guess there's nowt we can do about that at this point. Today's almost like a cup final for us... or a semi- final. Win today and our season stays alive.
