he has got to rip it up now whilst he still can ,play with wingers pacheco,johnson,amoo ,feck lucas and poulsen,move shelvey ahead of those two. might as well roy cause at this rate your going to be liverpools shortest ever managerial appointment.
Been saying this for a while actually. The players in the first XI have been under-performing, and there are two main causes there: lack of belief in the manager, and constantly being played out of position. I honestly don't see how playing Pacheco and Amoo in 4-3-3 can make us worse. Chances are we will improve because then we can concentrate on putting the right players in the right places, and the rubbish in the reserves. When you play where you're comfortable, faith is easier to find. It will also give the manager options on the bench - right now we go out there with no plan B, and that doesn't even work in Football Manager.
Also this backing off and hitting on the counter attack tactic is complete sh!t and needs to end. No top team does it - it's strictly better to defend a high line and press. Yes, it does make you tired, but that's why professional athletes spend tens of hours a week working on physical conditioning. It's also one of the reasons Kuyt would never get dropped because this is his strongest attribute.
I believe Roy needs to SERIOUSLY reconsider what he is trying to achieve. If he isn't prepared to do that, then he might as well jump before he's pushed.
