I have no idea what Gerrard is thinking at the moment. Probably that our best results have come with 2 strikers on the pitch. However, I also think he should be looking at a way of playing them both.

Keener window-cleaner Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think he played well, the problem is the same as with Grealish some time ago, he drops too far back to collect the ball, if our midfielders doesn't make runs then the two forwards become too isolated up front. It also slows down our play and the opponents can more or less stand still and stand their ground. In this formation I think we need to get Coutinho receiving the ball further up the pitch, increase the passing tempo and get the other midfielders make more forward runs (Ramsey did that a couple of times, and we scored on one of those occations) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia provides all the energy up there and would allow him to do what he can do best. In response to above posters, the deal will only bite us in the ass, if SG misuses him and persists playing him over players in better form. If that isn't the case, then i'm still very happy to have him in the squad. I have a feeling not just him, but other players, will get much better once we address the midfield balance and strength. Potential match winner, but he was miles off it today admittedly. Edited May 15, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Buendia is the better attacking midfielder, which is why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Buendia and Coutinho are the only two players who have a decent footballing brain when it comes to attack, which is why they need to play together. to be fair Ings seems to get on the end of chances created by him, just rarely scores them, neither does Watkins, don't think that's Phil's fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
