MrBlack Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 6 hours ago, Adam2003 said: How they are using Cancelo is the next development of formation akin to the shift from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1. Klopp tried it with Trent AA the other night. Everyone will be trying to imitate it. It helps that he's a bloody amazing footballer who makes the Duracell bunny look like an asthmatic pensioner that smokes 50 a day. I think Cash could get to that level of performance in time, but it doesn't just need an extremely fit right wing back, you need the rest of the team to be switched on enough to know who is best placed to cover the right back, and then who in turn needs to cover that person. It's a complicated system that will go very wrong, very quickly if players don't have the brains to go with the fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancelo funnily enough wasnt highly rated in Spain or Italy when he played there and for the national team he has only 4 more caps than Semedo from Wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Glad Dean stayed with the same side, had a feeling he’d bring back in Ross and Luiz back in given the opposition but the team deserved a second game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Luiz deserved to play as much as McGinn.. on the grounds that he deserved to be dropped as much as McGinn in the last game. Toss of a coin for me between the two. But, I understand why it hasn't changed, and love the options we have on our bench. Very solid starting line up, and creativity and options to completely change our setup on the bench.

I was hoping to seen Sanson start but I can’t argue with sticking with the same team. Love the midfield options now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It's pretty bad that if we concede first, we get nothing. That was very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Doesn't look like we have much of a game plan without Jack. No ability to play through teams, long and wide every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Like I always say, the time to show urgency is from minute 1. Pathetic showing and worst of all Lawro was right!! Dean sat there and let us bang in ball after useless ball. Very frustrating but that's where we're at I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Lump crosses in, mostly overhit that's the plan with Grealish. He better come up with a plan because Grealish will leave in the summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post penguin Posted March 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 Restricted them to next to nothing and we had more than enough chances to score, changes were good and not too late imo. Don’t really see what he got wrong tbh. As has been said this is on the players. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
