KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum tactics against everton - your views

puzzled me why hodgson played a deep defensive line at goodison on sunday?
yakubu with all due respect is not quick hes a chunky awkward centre forward whose always a threat HOWEVER..... he played kyrgiakos alongside skrtel in carra and konchesky at left back thus expecting an aerial assault from everton

now heres what bugs me everton were missing pienaar (pace trickery gets beyond defenders) Rodwell (energetic box to box) and played a slow trio of cahill arteta and p.neville now why wasnt we pushing out getting a high line coz yakubu cant run fast and you can bet ya life we would have crowded out cahill trying to support yakubu

i just feel we was too defensive, maxi rodriguez has no pace for a winger we were non existant down the right wing with maxi in front of carra and on the left with konchesky and cole

alot of square pegs in round holes at the moment

the wrong tactics have been employed in almost every match so far. but most importantly, i think the players are showing us what they feel!

what tactics? If there were, it was not very evident to me!!!

Tactics; To sit in hold back in an entrenched position never allow the oppostion a chance to identify weaknesses, and to go on the attack with ruthless outrageous boldness and that was hodgsons tactics in the post match interview. In hte match? We didnt have any

The only tactics I can make out is that we are playing all out defense in a really open way. We sit back but the opposition still find it really easy to create chance after chance.

We are a defensive team who cant defend..Always a recipe for success.

Tactics? HA!
To turn up, perform some random scene from Swan Lake, claim pay sheque, and p1ss off back to 'Greedy Towers'.

ha ha ha ha. random scene from swan lake. love it growls.

can't believe hodgson didn't change it up when they scored a second! He left on Cole and Maxi who did nothing and then with 15 mins to go tried to change it up and brought on Babel who actually looked like he was trying.... he could be a real super sub.

I dont know how long i can sit back and watch the way we are currently playing.... the whole world sympatise with Liverpool.. Even my Chelsea & Manc friends are saying how awful we are playing.... How did we become this bad?

lol - Koperation. My manc friends always say how bad Liverpool are playing, even when we are winning.

but yeah, this defend deep and don't press bullsh*t has gone on long enough. no successful team plays this way; maybe there's a lesson in that? not that Roy's listening. he's got his 36 years of experience telling him he's doing a fine job, both on the pitch and in the press.
