The fact we have 2 'playmakers' operating in that area really gives DM's a headache.
If Brendan is brave enough to move or drop Hendo when Sturridge comes back and put Raheem out wide we really could have a potent looking attack on our hands.
Agreed mate ,if we had an intelligent striker we would have dwarfed Arsenal in terms of the score ,I think his link up play with Markovic and Coutinho is starting to
become a real exciting part of our game ,as all three have superb technical ability. I think Rodgers has it all in his own hands now fella ,he just needs to bury his
ego and put Mignolet back between our sticks ,and tell Gerrard to keep the play simple. I would personally love to see Can integrated into a team that could well evolve
into quite a formidable attacking unit.
One of the other pluses about this system mate is that we essentially flood the midfield so the likes of Gerrard and Lucas aren't as exposed athletically as they would be in say a 4-4-2.
Re your suggestions for tweaking the system apart from the keeper one change that I would love to see is Ilorri integrated into our back 3, I think he'd be perfect for this system with his height, pace and especially his ability on the ball. Could be exciting times ahead.
