Thing vs thingy postmatch

[danperkins]

Lallana i don't mind although £25 million was a shocking price. The other two have been a disaster. Knew nothing of Markovic & didn't think Lovren was any improvement on what we had.. i was wrong he much, much worse.

[Lecter]

I wouldn't alternate anyone unless injured. BR should know his best team and his best formation. Play 2 up front with one player (sterling) in a free role behind them......with 3 central midfielders..... We did this for pretty much the whole second half of last season with unbelievable success.....so why ****in change things? It is simple and it is stupid tactics by Brendan.

We have spent 120m and in reality have only added a left back to the first 11.... It is a joke....

Lovren for 20m
Markovic for 20m
Lallana for 25m

Not one of them have improved the first 11....had that 65m been spent properly then we would have been better off. The whole "losing Suarez" argument is totally independent to spending that kind of cash on those 3 players.....

Lallana looks a good buy
Lovren looks balls
I haven't seen enough of Markovic to form an opinion

[danperkins]

We all laughed at Tottenham last season....the ****in joke is on lfc now

Yeah we're certainly getting it in the neck now

[Lecter]

All seems so simple doesn't it?

He's forever droning on about Lallana, it's really ****ing tedious.

Going into the season so dependent on an injury prone Sturridge was negligent from the management team.

Sure. But only if they ignored the situation and I can't be sure they did. They seemed to try extremely hard to replace Suarez with Sanchez, Benzema and Cavani; Balotelli was our back up plan to our last resort. Perhaps there wasn't enough availalability?

Very good.

I would stick Sterling up top alongside Mario, play Coutinho at the tip of the diamond, Henderson and Can infront of Gerrard and stick Manquillo on the right until Flanno is fit

Lallana I would alternate between Coutinho and Can

We should go out and sign a dedicated holding player in January someone like Khedira

I agree to a point, I guess we dont have much choice other than playing Gerrard, but I'd like to see Lucas again there. Balotelli offers so little that I'd rather see Borini there, otherwise I agree.

I also feel he needs to stick to a formation and a team for a while and stop the constant chopping and changing, at least keep it to a minimum and inside a set formation/tactic.

Trying hard isn't good enough for LFC. We knew Suarez would be off this summer and they failed to plan accordingly.

They tried to replace Suarez with Sanchez which seems to indicate to me that the plan was to continue with 2 up top

This makes what has happened next even more strange

He signs Balotelli who has always worked better alongside a partner and then proceeds to change the system to a lone striker system which doesn't suit Mario OR the rest of the players he has

Really bizarre it looks like he's had a complete brainfart

I believe we'll revert back to two when Sturridge returns. I think the only reason Rodgers hasn't continued with two up top is because none of our currently fit strikers complement each other enough to form a partnership.

[Roboklopp]

Borini plus either Balo or Lambo would tho.

Other than force a striker to sign, I'm not quite sure what else we could have done.

How does he know he hasn't tried it?

One thing is for certain, 1 up top hasn't worked yet he persists with it

It's ****ing nonsense imo

Exctly. It's a lot better than the other alternative, he tried it once in the league vs. West Ham, he's tried the other option repeatedly.
