After Toure came off and Can dropped to CB we went from a makeshift CM partnership to a really a partnership that would have been met with horror pre match.
Lallana took his goal well, ings showed class in his takedown, lots of positives imo, roll on Sunday
Lol at revolt etc off this thread, no one gives a f&ck to be Frank
2ppg target and how far we stray from it is the only meaningful stat that matters imo...0 -

Again with all the money spent over the last few years Liverpool end up at an away game to Bordeaux in Europe with Joe Gomez, Jordan Rossiter and Pedro Chirivella as the spine of the team. Simply amazing. I know he's young and I've already seen one or two posters try to gloss up his performance but Rossiter was absolutely awful yesterday.
Very hard on the kid. Yeah he gave away stupid fouls from his tackling but he did the simple things with passes and covering back.Harry Palmr wrote: »Harsh, here is his touch compilation
He can't tackle well enough at this level yet, that is the only thing he got wrong last night.

I read this and had a quick look expecting a few restricted view seats up for grabs but Christ you can get lower centenary 2 days before the game :eek:
Also paddock 2nd row back from the pitch ffs! Those are both better than the seat I spent 2 hours queuing in the member sale for
Never seen it like this so close to match day
That's season ticket holders who have had enough of watching rubbish every home game.0 -

I know we want the young lads to do well but if that's now considered an acceptable performance for a Liverpool midfielder in a European game then whoever wrote about the lowering of expectations and standards dropping under Rodgers is 100% correct.
His tackling was awful, his short simple passes were more often than not slightly misplaced (behind the receiver, or to a receiving player who was in a worse position than Rossiter himself) and several of his longer passes were miles off the mark. He has no ability to win an aerial duel, is incredibly slow which resulted in his being completely left behind whenever Bordeaux counter-attacked and overall has zero physical presence in the middle of the field.
But yeah, I guess he's 18 so he did well.

Ing needs to be starting in a 2 man attack also, he's a really good young player. He was one of the better players against West Ham, United and was very unlucky not to score last night after a tremendous piece of skill.
I agree. Ings has been one of the bright spots anytime he played, but he need to be played alongside Benteke.
I would like to see something like this on Sunday as a front 6.

Aren't they both the same thing essentially? If you played a 'false 9' with a regular 9 the false 9 would be a number 10 right? I wanna try put a stop to this false 9 bulls%%t. It's not a real position, it's just a number 10 that someone once called a false 9 to get away with not playing a striker and it has caught on like wild fire!

:rolleyes:
The point is you don't play a false 9 with a regular 9, that's the purpose of it. A false 9 is deployed when you want another body to pass the ball around and play in the wingers, but can also make runs into the box when needed.
As for you trying to "put a stop to this false 9 bs", good luck, it's an integral part of certain formations and it's not going anywhere. It is most certainly a real position.0 -

I agree, it's called number 10.
P.s. I get that you don't play a false 9 with a regular 9 but my point is that a false 9 has a very similar role in a team to a traditional number 10. Why does it get a new name just cos the 9 isn't present? It's like calling a right wingback a false right back imo.0 -

I agree, it's called number 10.
Except it really isn't though. A number 10's main focus is to play in the striker and wingers and chip in with the odd goal, most often from the edge of the box (Coutinho, James, Isco, Sneijder, Ozil etc.)
A false 9 has two jobs; to play in the wingers and create chances for them, and be the main goal scorer in the team by making late runs into the box or dribbling through defenders (Messi during the Guardiola era, Totti, Tevez, Rooney played that position often before the term was coined, Cruyff also who basically invented the position).
I do understand where you're coming from btw, but it is its own position, clearly not a number 10, and equally as clearly not a number 9. It's here to stay.0 -
