What are you on about ?

You are the expert on the subject

The fact that Shaw and Lambert got decent send offs and adam got **** all says it all buddy. Lines Read Lines

Id be inclined to file under bull****e

You really are a massive ****

Thats not something im particularly worried about in a DM tbh

Glasgow, you'll always be a prize cock

I think he is vastly overated, will be expensive and wouldnt suit the system personally

Please god not hernandez

Ahh, thought this was a tour de france fitties thread.... Boooooo

Here we go again......

Shame she has a face like a kicked in pasty

Is this facts now ?

Pretty much this, astounding that many are asking for a complete overhaul in what was, as you say, fundamentally an excellent way of playing. It was obvious that J Rod was used as our furthest forward striker and often ghosted in from wide positions, a tactic used more and more these days as CBs essentially can be dragged out of position by a deeper lying striker and the 'wide forward' is able to get in behind, usually only looked after by what are usually attack minded FBs. The problem was always the striker, and it was last season too, many said if we have to rely on Lambert there for a season we would struggle and I stick with that. Its not his ability but the fact it isnt his game. Another reason that parking the bus against us was due to what appeared to be a risk averse strategy, the priority was possession, now, it was needed a little as high pressing is tiring, so the idea is to reduce the tempo and thus take a breather but too often we camped on the 18 yard box waiting for a run in behind which was never going to happen. This year Id like to see much of the same but with a little more freedom of expression and a striker, perhaps even a wide man too thats a bit more mobile. Koeman may have other ideas, but realistically we wont venture too far from what we have seen the past 3 years IMO

Well no, not really they didnt, some peak players but no real world class players, except for the odd mercenary

We could always see if Blackburn will swap for Rhodes ? Rhodes and sharp upfront.... Mouthwatering

Exactly. We tried a bit of counter-attacking, early in Adkins reign, it failed really. The way we play is excellent, I really dont want to move from that and Im surprised anyone else does. The only realy differences from Poch would be to take a few more chances, effectively under MoPo it was a risk free strategy, keep the ball and probe. If we have possession around the oppositions box Id much rather have a few pops or try a few more through balls

Im hoping we dont change much except to add a striker thats able to provide much needed mobility.

Of all our talent, Rickie, Lallana and Shaw included, my personal opinion is that he would be our biggest loss, the real jewel in our crown

Prat

Ummm, only in mobility

A bit Meh for me, will be expensive, he is Liverpool (lfc or efc) bound if rumours outside the media are to be believed

Yeah of course we will, Im just saying that I dont think we can be so blasie by saying bye to shaw and welcoming an unknown. Shaw is an exceptional talent, you dont get many of his ilk in a generation, granted a few around his level. If Targetts as good as Chambers that will be very good but Id suggest we wont be that lucky and we will need a new LB.

Id actually be up for doing this The tweeting that is bear, not the honosex

Whatevers good bud. Just make sure this isnt entirely illegal
