We'll ****ing smash'em

 

I really dislike Wham, horrible club. @Big Ern is a **** as well.

 

Is David Moyes still there?.

 

Yes

 

Maybe if we beat them 0:5 they can sack him.

 

They might well do that.

 

please please please please please don't use this fantasy formation again.

whatever about sides who are sitting deep and have no good means to attack, we cannot go away to London to West ham who have a few forwards and expect konate to defend on his own

it was a shambles today, a shambles around trent and Henderson and Jones were also totally ineffective.

 

He's going in the summer anyway

 

Not if he wins the Europa League final I suppose.

 

conference league. be careful. uts very very different thing.

 

West ham are in the middle of a lot of games and play tomorrow as well.

you'd hope they'd be at least a little leggy but we simply have to figure this over complicated system out.

city don't do this. they don't have an attacking left full so are naturally sits in a 3 and it's a genuine 3.

stones is a natural defender so doesn't decide to run off where ever like trent did today.

the midf8eld city create is Rodri and stones with a genuine 4 ahead of that.

we have Henderson running to nowhere. John's doing absolutely nothing.

I think personally we need to scrap it and see we have 5 genuine forwards and make use of them.

go 4231 if that's what is in order. use 4 forwards in that and thiago and fabinho sitting.

surely that.makes more sense that the mess we are seeing but anyway it'll be the same until we are absolutely spanked rotten by someone.

 

why don't we go and play 343 with gomez rcb here.

 

Because klopp has never played that formation and the team has learned to play 433 for the last 6 years.

Randomly going 343 with no training or experience behind it would just be a huge risk

But in practice we're ending up with a stretched out back three, regardless of what we want to call it.

 

So you dropping Robertson so play vvd left wide?

 

he's never played a 1-3-4-3 either but in effect has been with this experiment.

it's crazily stuff.

 

We must try something different!

No, not like that!

 

I'm not actually sure how you draw that conclusion from what I wrote?
