shandypants Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Two out and out forwards - outdated A 5h1t liner striker playing off a target man centre forward - outdated The “back to front” long pass - outdated Direct football - outdated Wide forwards- outdated OK, I know that Garry Monk isn’t an out and out Long Ball Merchant but it’s good to see that he’s not a football snob and that he is pragmatic enough to employ more “traditional” tactics alongside new concepts of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I would call Salah and Mane. the things in his post that are listed as 'outdated' are things scorned at by the 'modern football brigade', NOT the best manager liverpoo' has had for some time. lateral forward movement isn't actually one of them, as the 'mfb' perhaps prefer to see forward movement not 'go forward', after all they prefer delays in the back line, and m/f in their dour build up. no doubt as dawson humped the first down the field yesterday, there were shouts of 'ROLL IT OUT TO THE FULL BACK, THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO PLAY'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 We’ve needed a player that comes alive in the box for years... someone who thinks less and gets his shot off. Add that to this team and we’ll be pretty good - no pressure Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Pace, aggression and strength in the core of the team is a must and goes a long way in English football. You need that bit of quality on the ball too of course but it’s something Carvalhal refused to acknowledge. You can’t do it with technical players only. When you win playing flowing passing football it’s as good as it gets. But likewise going to Burton and getting bundled over isn’t fun either. This approach is much more consistent and harder to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dukeries Owl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I'm kind of glad that Man City's pass it and pass it and pass it till you make the spectators eyes bleed kind of football is now seeming to lose that gloss of invincibility.

NYCOWL Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I think we can play both ways. That makes us dangerous. I loathe the idea of “footballing principles” Win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 you'll note the 'mfb' aren't here staunchly defending their philosophy, it's not that they cannot prove effing about with it inside your own half isn't better than crushing the opposition under a weight of goals. it's the fact that they're stuck in the tv screen having put their foot through it being forced to watch our first goal yesterday.
