I can see us getting conference league again.Our players might not be great, but Conte absolutely screwed things up today.
He should have changed things at half time when we did not remotely look like scoring, but no. And when he does try to change things even though we are looking for a win he brings on a centre back for a wing back which leaves us with 3 centre backs and two non attacking wingbacks on the pitch. And when does Conte decide to bring on an attacking player? With just 5 fecking minutes to go, what the feck is that all about?
I can see us really getting molested at Anfield, and as for the Goons, well I for one will not be banking on 3 points. Seems like we are going to get no more than we deserve this season, and from where I can see that does not include CL football next season.
Utd will save us from thatI can see us getting conference league again.
And not only do we get nothing from our wingbacks but we appear to be outmanned in central midfield
The Sanchez for Sess sub was an absolute shocker!
however Conte is the reason we are even in the conversation for 4th, so giving him plenty of slack.
I like Davies and think Reguilon has massively flattered to deceive, but Reggie would have clearly been the better option to add width there for that role.I could see the logic. Sess was doing nothing and Davies was probably the best option if we wanted to keep our width and stretch them on the left. The last couple of games have shown how weak our wing backs are on both sides.
And not only do we get nothing from our wingbacks but we appear to be outmanned in central midfield
I’ve been saying this from the moment he came in. We’re insisting on playing 2 players in supposed attacking positions that offer close to nothing going forward and it weakens the the centre of the midfield.
With no Doherty we should just play Davies LB and Royal RB (he’ll be ok there) and then add a body in midfield to stop the flow of play through there.
I appreciate that against better oppo but in games like last week and this week we have to find a different way - a more pro active way. Every man and their dog can see that Royal doesn’t really want to get forward and that Sess can’t really be relied on at that end of the pitch either. Yet they are filling the 2 most important positions in the setup - it’s baffling.Only problem with a back 4 is it will expose Dier . Think he’s ok with player either side but a flat 4 would concern me.
When chasing a game, like we should have been in the last 2, then I’m stunned he hasn’t tried to change something up.I was pretty dismissive of the idea previously but surely Moura or Bergwijn should be getting a run out at RWB by this stage?
And score immediately? No no no, what is this magic? I cannot believe this witchcraft of changing formation and flooding bodies forwards with determination.Liverpool need a goal so Klopp changes formation
