OMT Spurs v Athletico

You conserve more energy when you win. Football isn't physical when you have the ball and spend the game stroking it around. Only mugs and lower quality players have to put the yards in as they chase shadows. As long as you can do a quick high press to win it back, you need more energy to lose than to win.

This all day. Shame we have avoided trying to do that since the season started...

Considering we do little of the former and a lot of the latter... I think you've cracked it Gutter....the reason behind our two season injury crisis.
 
Just give it a proper go, if players get injured so be it … who knows a young player could step up and be our next ledders, Kane, hoddle

Oh all day!!!!! It is one of the main reasons I questioned what Frank was doing, and what we were being 'loyal' to. I mean...Frank's 'system' actually nullified the GOOD qualities of so many of our players. We all know VdV is not a penalty box defender, but play him in a system which requires a higher line and he is dynamite. That suggest to me that you only really need to fix the FB/cover spaces in terms of transitions so as you don't get caught in those pockets behind the FBs, instead, we ended up trying to be a mid to low block counter pressing side who let others have the ball and 'absorbed' pressure. All that WITH a keeper who is less than definitive!...alright alright I'll stop LOL...

I don't disagree again.

We need to instill some joy. You're in the CL. Play with some release and joy. The knock-on effects 'could' be big...
 
My team for what it's worth;
4-2-3-1
-------------------------Vicario---------------------
Spence----Danso----Romero---Van de Ven
--------------Gallagher---Gray-----------------
Porro----------------Simons------------Muani
-------------------------Solanke------------------------

What I think Igor will go for;
No idea!!
 
I'd just go for balance and commitment:

-------------------------Vicario---------------------
Porro-------Romero---Van de Ven-----Souza
-----------------Sarr--------Gray-----------------
--Muani--------------Simons------------Tel
--------------------Richarlison----------------------

Resting Danso because vdV is out of Liverpool

Exactly this. The best teams now play some evolution of the Barca 5 second rule. Needless to say we devolving match by match.

How do we change? By finding a groove and momentum. This is a game to do that, rather than going cold to Anfield, still the hapless strangers we've been for 3 years

If we had Leeds or any other low team yea, but Liverpool has to win to have a chance on CL. And you dont Get momentum in one game… Sry for being this way but I cant see a light in the tunnel… the way we play is awfull, we aint a team. Just some guys playing football

I find myself not particularly interested in this one either. If we could somehow scrape a result that could hopefully spur us on, but I’m fully expecting more of the lifeless anti-football we’ve seen from us this season. Then again, European football seems to suit us.
