-Removed-Sounds like you are enjoying the prospect of a visit to Anfield tonight. We've had a bad month. It was preceded by a near perfect 36 months. We have our first five choices of centre defender missing (Van Djk, Gomez, Matip, Fabinho, Henderson), but we still have the most points from 'big six head to heads' this season. So, will Thomas come to attack the soft centre to our defence? Would that be the right thing to do or is that 'the big six mistake'?
-Removed-We depend too much on Henderson's presence in midfield both for his work rate and leadership. Milner is getting older, Fabinho has to cover as a defender as well.
For years Brazil dominated world football by giving full backs total freedom, often with both in advanced positions at the same time. The unsung heroes were the Dungas and Brancos and the like who worked so hard to cover the vacated positions. Hendo can do that and Fabinho was growing into the role well. We miss them in their proper roles as much as we miss the players they replaced. Liverpool without the full backs enjoying the same freedom are less formidable and less creative, but I think people love a drama and like to see a bigger problem. Salah's goal tally doesn't quite fit the story.
-Removed-Just the role of the full backs and the way the holding midfield role covers behind in wide areas.
It's very different football to the 70s and 80s Liverpool of my teens and twenties that won eleven titles and four European Cups in the space of twenty years. Perhaps we needed somebody to come and do it a different way instead of living in the shadow of that.
When you consider that City fell off the pace completely last season just through losing Laporte we have good reason to believe we'll be back when our absentees return.
Are you happy with Frank's sacking? Ruthless machine that can get rid of a club legend that quickly? Is that the way to be or does it lack soul?
