I'm pretty confident we won't be playing the three CB's against Wigan (as posted earlier in this thread), their style and threat doesn't demand it.
In fact the interview posted today on LFC.TV with Steve Clarke pretty much agrees with me.
In the last three games you have gone with three at the back using two wing backs, and it has been very effective hasn't it?
It has and it's something we wanted to do against Stoke to get another big player in the team to nullify their threat in the air, and it worked very well. We decided to go again with it on Sunday and it worked really well again, so it's good when you have got two or three different systems that you can play. If your players are adaptable and can fit into any system then it's obviously great going forward.
Is this system something you could continue with?
Yes and we will look at it game by game. You have to look at the opposition and you have to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition. It's good for us because it means we can be more flexible and it means we are not as easy to read for the opposition. We can change the system to suit how we want to play so it's good to have different systems.
The point of the 3-5-1-1 system we played was purely to nullify a specific threat that both Chelsea and Stoke presented. Wigan however do not provide the same threat. The beauty of the style we are employing is that formations and strategy are interchangeable according to the opponent.
I fully expect an attacking line up line up against Wigan, either 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. Definitely not a 3-5-1-1.
(guess who?)
