I'd be completely overjoyed if we went BACK to the Liverpool WAY of playing.... PASS & MOVE!, it's IMO been completely lacking in ALL of GH's teams (Oh wait for the critcism!)...
Hitting teams on the break, yeah but in the old controlled style, we used to be able to adapt OUR Football to whatever the opposition wanted to play... Kick & rush, Long Ball, Eleven Goalpost's, they used to call US predictable, BUT, for ALL the right reasons, Now we're predictable for All the wrong reason's.
Some, May argue,(Counter Attacking one up front, ala "The Treble"!) that IT get's results 3/5 trophies in ONE season, (If that's how you want to look at thing's).
Me personally I'd like to go back to the basic's..., a hoard of players wearing a RED shirt offering options to the Man on the ball, wide Men getting to the byline.
However we seem to playing zonal football, every man has a position to cover, no-one apart from Stevie G taking overall resposibility, ONE lone striker, who feed's upon an " eye of the needle" pass that comes off maybe once/ twice a game.
Let's GET REAL, sack the sh##e that dictate's this, then maybe we'll have a chance at playing the GAME that we all once loved
