To beat park-the-bus-teams, we need two natural wingers who are fast and good crossers of the ball and a tall strong centre forward to meet those crosses.

You mean when we signed beteke last year?

Doesnt work hard enough
Not our style

Some on tje things thrown at him, right or wrong.

Its just not that simple.

What you need to do like we did yesterday and man united did yesterday is keep the ball moving quickly and switching it from on side to the other and hoping to break the lb/ rb away from his unit.

We were all down yhe left 6esterday and within a couple of passes it has g9ne to the right and mane was in.

Whats need though is keeping natural width. Mane stayed wide. Lallana in that possition is in field lookinf for the ball and we play the whole match in a 20 yard area.

Benteke got no service at all mate. What I am saying is that we should change our style according to the opposition and to how the game is panning out.

LH can you explain barce or real's dominance with out such players, Surely the problem is lack of movement and dragging players out of position than crossers and target men?

If Clyne and Milner carried out their crossing duties well enough, we wouldn't really need the wingers. They're able to find space frequently enough (because of the way the front 3 open up spaces for them) ; it's just the crosses are simply not good enough.

Nice one Jay!

I hear where your coming from LH6 but I don't see us playing that way - more likely we just focus on moving the ball quicker and getting better runs in behind, and we proved in the first half of the season we could beat teams sitting deep without a lump in the box.

I do agree another striker may make sense in some games vs. Firmino, but please don't suggest we go for another Benteke, Carroll or other similar type character. we just don't suit that sort of player and we'll be back to square one in terms of a team with no fluidity.

When a team sit deep there is no space in between to pass it trough. We need to stretch the game to the flanks.
Spurs played a very high line which means Mane had a football pitch to run in between Davis and Lloris.

LH, stop defending the indefensible cos you are embarassing yourself. It is up to the player to adapt to us and not the other way around. Klopp's system works so why should he defer to anpther player's 'strengths"? Makes no sense, really. We all saw Benteke last season and he was awful. Lazy, doesn't get into position, doesn't work hard to lose his markers, doesn't press and the list goes on and on. Watch his game vs us this season and if you re unbiased, you will see exactly the faults I mentioned above hence, why he is a CP and why Klopp let him go. He's pants and I'm glad he's no longer here and the fact that we got 75% of our fee back for him.

Harry sitting deep is not a problem as it allows us to play right on top of them, the problem is that for example the striker could pull the left cb to the right post allowing mane to move into a central position with space that the right cb has a choice go to mane or stay with couts/ milner, or any quick one touch passing and movement will not allow them to mark properly and that will create space.

You don't need a specialist striker to pull someone out from their position Jay. Firmino is a master in that department. The best part of him is his unpredictable movement between the CB in and around area. Bug when there is hardly any room to penetrate it becomes impossible to sneak in and with us playing so narrow it's very easy to defend against. That is where width comes into the picture.
One touch passing work when you have space for the player to occupy else it wouldn't trust me.

Have you ever seen a group of people running towards a brick wall trying to break it? That's what we do when teams park the bus.
