I dont buy all this 'teams come to anfield with 10 behind the ball' as some sort of excuse either. Teams go to Utd, Emirates, and chelsea playing that way yet I dont hear the same excuses. Some weaker teams will come to Anfield and put plenty men behind the ball but thats no excuse for the lack of guile, flair and imagination.
Good points and I agree with the sentiments.
Its okay for us to play the way we do in Europe, thats fine. But not the same way in the league two different games. The European where the technicality of football is higher than say your run of the meal Prem game, is perfect for Rafa and his "over" analysed chess like tactics.
But for the Prem IMHO those tactics are not needed as much and Rafa should trust his players enough to play without the shackles and tactics they do in Europe. As technically we're better than most Premiership teams so we dominate more in possesion when needed. Thus the crying calling for guile, skill, attacking creating and end productivity is needed.
exactly. In Europe I see where Rafa is coming from. Its the league where things need changing. The lack of genuine chances created in some games is shocking. This season i hope things are changed its just whether its in Rafa's makeup to not be so cautious
I kind of agree but the main problem we have is the finishing, in aalmost every game we control possession and territory yet fail to win. We need to be that little bit more attacking but also be far more clinical in front of goal. Hopefully Torres can give us that together with Crouch, who keeps getting better and better, and Kuyt who I think has finally settled in. And then Voronin and Babbel can also hopefully settle quickly and help in attack.
