once they press RM they look ok. They need to get in their faces.
yeah but if they beat the press they kill you. These really good sides can just play in every way and they're too good
Look, football is in a funny moment. The concentration of good players in the top teams is unlike anything we've seen. Madrid have an insane team as do 5 or 6 teams right now.
Our recruitment was too speculative, we needed everyone to go straight away and it's just not happened for half of them. I know it's early but Markovic looks like a real dud. Both the fullbacks are a bit iffy, Can is a squad player when we needed another centre midfielder and the Balotelli punt hasn't paid off at all.
fudgeing hell sometimes I wonder if you eve enjoy football.
Not sure how you get that from that post?
I love football, I maybe enjoy the analytical side more than most. Watching a side like Madrid tonight I always try and see how we can get to that level.
I don't know if you have a wife/GF/family, but I do and I find now I can't really let football results affect my general emotional state, too much else to worry about!
The only time liverpool looked in the match was when they pressed. You also talk about a defensive coach not being the answer. The players are not shark yet they don't talk to each other and there is no connection with the midfield and they spent far to much time watching RM players with the ball.
Agreed that RM can buy a lot of their success, but you still need to throw a few tactics together which Liverpool seem incapable of.
