hippo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Its a masterstroke and should shut one or two of the Gerard doubters up. I m just glad I held back with my judgement until his first window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could/should be lethal. Unfortunately this means Ramsey is most likely going to see his minutes significantly reduced (assuming Douglas and McGinn will be the other two in starting XI) but man, the squad we have now is significant. All I need is some Hickey in my life now. At this very second, when fit i'd roll out the below. Watkins Bailey Couts Buendia Dougie SJM Targett Mings Konsa Cash Yes I think that midfield is a bit weak unless you tweak it a bit and play Buendia in there with Bailey shifting to the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are not signed in order of importance. Especially not in January. Just a polite reminder even thou I'm sure everyone already understands this. It doesn't mean we will either. Thank you for your reassurance, though....but you can't speak for everyone( thankfully), just yourself...and I appreciate your confidence. but I hope you are right and my anxiety is unfounded. We will wait an see, is probably the most accurate call, based on the links. Edited January 7, 2022 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't disagreeing with you, I was genuinely asking your thoughts haha I mean we have definitely dipped a bit since we lost Marvelous no doubt about it and I'd be all for bringing in some steel as you put it. I think LB, CDM, CB before end of this window would be great, just not sure that will all happen until the Summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think I have given my thoughts with more regularity than Karl Marx did to Communism. I think you could be right,about the summer, hence my anxiety....maybe the ideal candidates are just not available. I think we will have to settle, for quite a bit of inconsistency, if we don't, but Hey ho.....its the clubs call and I just have to wear it.

Our width now comes from our fullbacks. Coutinho and Buendia will both play number 10 narrowly behind Watkins or Ings. Bailey may change that when he’s back but I think he’ll be on from the bench for another while * just too add this also allows for three midfielders which I think we can’t play without. Two in the middle of that will see us get overrun Edited January 7, 2022 by IrishVilla10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Bailey isn't an out and out winger, he will suit Gerrard's system just fine, also as has previously stated I'm not sure why people are obssesed with this idea that Gerrard only plays with two No.10s in the front three, Ryan Kent is a winger when availabe he played every game for Rangers, Roofe also sometimes played as a wide forward, The two wide forwards play slightly narrower in Gerrard's system, but doesn't mean to say they're playing as No.10s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourihane is world class mate, he will work his way back in to the first 11, especially after we get him signed up to a new 100k a week, 5 year contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not dismissing formations, at all....but for me its more about the player giving his all and winning his battles/duels.....do that and we have a real chance in games. Our ability, is not that bad, its the willingness to run and move, maybe crosses could be better quality.....but we need to work harder at times. Some games we do and others we tail off....its that elusive consistency we strive for. Ps Alex Feguson........ Hard work will always overcome natural talent, when natural talent doesn't work hard enough. Edited January 7, 2022 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
