Don't take the thread off topic! Thinning the Squad thread is here

The site rules actually state that PTP is allowed to post one of his long rambling posts anywhere he likes, as long as it contains a formation picture.

Mignoalets positioning is just bizarre there.

It's his indicisiveness that then spreads through the entire defence.

A man on the near post would have kept that out, and we probably go in at half time at least 2-1 up.

he looks positioned for the outswinger not the inswinger it ended up being. When you're short of confidence you consistently struggle the make the right decision quickly and thats whats going on with mignolet right now. That and the fact that he's also rubbish.

Not sure where to put this but just saw this stat:

United, Arsenal, West Ham, Watford, West Brom, Newcastle, Man City, Palace, Chelsea all scored on LFC with their first shot on-target.

Not great reading that.

Different Manager .. same old problems... same group of players ... previously it would be the very first break so I suppose theres some progress .. now its the very first set piece which these days is like getting a ****ing Peno

Short arses win fewest duels in the air and are rubbish at clearing a dead ball shocker.

Matip 6' 2"
Grujic 6 3"

If you rank that table in goals conceded, Leicester should be top due to having 24%.. higher than ours.

If percentage only, both Leicester and Citeh would be above us...

They've just created that table to make us look like the ****test... but we're actually not.
Ok, we're close to being the worst but we're not the actual worst...

[dww]

I'm not sure that the %age is as useful a stat. What it mostly shows is that Leicester concede less than us surely?

yes, they concede less than us, but a higher percentage of those they do concede are from corners.

It's a nothing table of comparisons really - without any useful context

[Fierce]

if we can find a strong, aggressive, good in the air/good tackler, pacy centre mid who can spot danger quickly, cover 20 yards fast and snap stop any counters, it would allow the midfield to push up more and support the attack

Is there such a player?

[Phoenix07]

The rodent that is Javier Mascherano. Unfortunately, he's at Barcelona. He isn't good in the air, but had everything else.

We need to go to Argentina and buy the next one in the conveyer belt as they always produce that type of player. Argie DMs and Uruguayan centre backs (Coates aside )
