I wouldn't be a manager. I would be First Team Coach, and I'll work within a continental structure, under a DoF. <ok>

And I would get things right on my accord [HASHTAG]#LuckedOut[/HASHTAG]

You wouldn't even play our best player [HASHTAG]#scousecafu[/HASHTAG]
 
Because Brod is a trend setter [HASHTAG]#luckedout[/HASHTAG]

Roy Evans played this system 20 years ago, and we played some damn fine football. Problem was, whilst I always felt we could beat any team, the downside was that any team could beat us; though that may be down to some of the personal we had playing at the time. I was never convinced by Phil Babb, for instance, and McAteer managed to move the best right wing back in the country in Rob Jones to left-wing back to accommodate him. And Stan Collymore only put an effort in one game out of five, at most.
 
Brendan Rodgers played this system 20 minutes ago, and we played some damn fine football. Problem was, whilst I always felt we could beat any team, the downside was that any team could beat us; though that may be down to some of the personal we had playing at the time. I was never convinced by Martin Skrtel, for instance, and Johnson managed to move the best right wing back in the country in Jon Flanagan to left-wing back to accommodate him. And Mario Balotelli only put an effort in one game out of five, at most.

Fixed?

Yep this is the problem - I used to enjoy attacking aggressive football (I still do) but the best teams have solid defences and midfields. I would happily compensate our attack and play a slightly less attacking game if it meant we were more solid at the back, physical in the midfield and tactically disciplined all round.
