Plenty of attacking options though, I would have thought our line was too

aggressive if anything. Smith,Lallana,Robertson and McGoldrick-none of them known for their defensive qualities.

 

Agreed on both counts,agressive, but weak defensively IMO.

 

If we go a goal down we will revert to 4-4-2,which is what we have done recently,this has proved slightly,and i mean slightly,more productive and this compact formation has asissted us to get a foot hold in games oncemore.

Therefore when at home,which it is now vital we pick up results,we should adopt this formation.IMO.

It's all very good having the width to exploit with the pace we may have in the side but we are hardly skinning sides out on the flanks and whipping dangerous crosses in.,DMG nearly always comes inside anyway.

 

This is supposed to be "total football"which should mean interchangable movement between players and systems,but this seems to be dead in the water. We usually end the game 4-4-2 anyway,when we have been chasing the match.

All IMO.

Still it will be interesting to see what becomes of the Smith/Robertson combination, an out and out winger and a hard-nut front man.

Watford are supposed to be susceptible on crosses,we could blow them

out of the water early on, on the other hand we could be 2-0 down inside 10 minutes.
