    The less effort here the more effort the players put in.

    Much more optimistic about this than I was 24 hours ago.

    It will be a hard game, but arsenal are still not the greatest defensively. Looking forward to Ben White chasing Diaz.

    It's a push to suddenly expect a win after one decent performance, but I'm hopeful that we will give a better account if ourselves than in recent matches.

    Look the main thing is we saw a few things that looked a little better. Less gaps, more CM cover so its not totally a 2 v 5 situation every time we lose the ball etc.

    A bit more aggression form the off in terms of hitting the man with the ball with actual physical contact.

    The subs were hapless however which wasn't good. bobby caused conniptions as every flick and back heel went astray but worryingly fabinho looked miles off it.

    I can't see us going 4231 against arsenal away.

    Theres a long way to go but at least one or two took some stuff on baord about hitting their men aggressively.

    you've never heard of conniptions?

    you've never heard of the thrash metal band then. this is a word used in yankland a lot so I probably heard it over there.

    It describes what happens when we lots the plot on the ptich and i **** things at the telly.

    We looked much better with the 4231, better cover for defence more space for the attack.

    God I hope we don't revert back to 433 that surely would be pointless.

    Apparently, Klopp is adamant it was 4-4-2 (according to the Times report this morning)

    Edit: actually it was on The Athletic

    Let's not forget though that this was against a rangers side that sat back and were pretty passive. It'll be interesting to see if it works against a team that presses onto our midfield.

    yup. we have to sit un ourselves and hit on the break. ala man utd. we can't kid ourselves that we are at the level we think we are

    alisson
    trent matip vvd tsimikas
    fabinho thaigo (reservations on this)
    Salah firmino diaz
    jota​

    Salah off for elliott (never put elliott at RCM again)
    Fabinho/thiago off for henderson
    Jota off for Nunez
    robbo might be back soon

    Bit surely it's better to push on with this than revert back to what we where doing?

    I doubt rangers came to be passive, if they've seen our recent struggle they would know that the best way to get at us would be to actually attack.

    They couldn't get out though, that was down to the changes.

    It would surely be ludicrous to look at the much improved performance, think but its only rangers so its best to revert back to the ****e that has caused us so much issue?

    It was the ideal game to try something new, it worked, it may not be the answer to all our problems but it's better to move forwards than continue to flog the dead horse that was our previous tactics.

    I think more players are better suited to 4231

    It offers a better opportunity for rotation

    Defensive cover is what it us

    Dcm we could have Henderson, thiago and fabinho playing for 2 spots.

    The am position, firmino, jota, elliot, Carvalho

    Diaz and Carvalho possibly nunez for the left
    Salah, possibly jota, nunez fir the right

    The 9 salah, nunez, Bobby, jota

    Still the same amount if players but the options are now much more fluid.
