I have never seen him play but presumably you don't go from Portugal to Liverpool
without talent.
It seems he is an advanced playmaker type of player that can support the main
striker from wide or central positions .If he can score a few as well as make some assists
he is exactly the type of...
I am inferring from what I have seen from Sami so far that there will still be 1 main striker
and 2 or 3 supporting strikers 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 2 1 .
I think CMS is best used as the 1 striker further forward
As I said before hopefully we sign a better centre forward than CMS or COG
But if we don't...
I hope we can bring in a better centre forward than CMS.
but I would like to see him instead of COG as well as sometimes with him.
playing on the shoulder of the opponents centre backs looking to get in behind
and also stretching the opponents defense giving the support strikers more room
to...
What players should be top of wish list for the new era?
I have no idea what specific players are available within
our wage and fee budget but attempting to understand what Sami is trying to achieve
for I would suggest the following priorities
1 centre forward
2 support striker (inside forward...
At his fastest he was one of the real threats we had in the final third.
I am not sure he has been at his fastest for sometime.
I think lack of quality in the final third has pulled us up short of promotion
in the last couple of years .Buckley joining other people exiting the club
leaves Lua...
so harsh on a good local young prospect on the radio he certainly sounded better
than Augestien .Yes if Tonko and Stevens were fit he wouldn't be first choice but
without many new arrivals he will be a vital squad member.
If this year we are not challenging for the play offs I hope the young...
the spark in this system needs to come from the two wider/ deeper strikers
a lot of both creative and scoring responsibility on the Lua Lua and Fenelon positions.
with only 2 centre halfs and two full backs so far up it was going to be difficult
for the midfielders to hit the box
I thought JFC and Ince were bossing it first half hour (in a not too threatining way)
he was dicing with the second yellow
must have had a lot more touches than crofts when he was on
he was one of the three looking for forward balls
he does fall between 2 styles not quite good enough to be the...
not sure I can see Hughes being sami's attacking left back
I would think the rest of the team is what I expect
but chicken or maksimenko at left back and Hughes maybe in for dunk ( hope not)
and is there no chance crofts will start? and maybe be subbed if he tires?
like another poster said the big miss will be the no 19
plus have we got suitable full backs on either side of the pitch to play
the way Sami wants.
needs someone to be a spark
Buckley or Lua Lua ? even better March or Fenelon.
Here is hoping.
it is how you stand up to terrorists
do you try to apprehend the guilty only?
or kill more innocents than the terrorists do?
we had Irish terrorists kill many in a long a bitter campaign
we did not kill thousands of innocents in Belfast in response
we treated them essential as criminals
if we...
we have had a very decent 4 years.
but it is easy to take it for granted
football is very much result based
the championship seems to be getting ever more competitive
make no mistake if we are struggling in the wrong half
barber and everyone else's job is not secure
how many mangers have been...
