Quote from: ChicagoLion on April 11, 2021, 09:30:47 AMThe set up yesterday Flat back 4 sitting fairly deep then Nakamba SJM. LuizTraore. Trez WatkinsThen he went SJM. LuizTraore. Ramsey Barkley. Trez AEG WatkinsThe distance between our wide players and midfield was huge, we were unable to use the press because we were too far away from each other and the the situation was exacerbated by our wingers giving the ball away ( particularly Trare) The 3 midfield players were all over the place.It looked like a shambles. You can argue that two players going off injured pretty quickly didn't help and Barkley came on just a few minutes before, which might not have been a sub he would have made had he left that one 10 minutes or so.

Quote from: AV82EC on April 11, 2021, 09:33:57 AMLiverpool’s ability to play through the lines at times yesterday from front to back was frightening. Yes they’ve got bloody good players but our openness was naive in the extreme.I was trying to show above, it was just straight line passes from defence to attack.

I think the comment I made the most yesterday whilst watching was "too bloody easy for them Villa". Fortunately the shape/ability of the back 4 is so good this season we were able to keep them out for the majority of the time but that midfield is all wrong currently. I think a few have said it would be good to maybe utilise a diamond or at least a 4 of some sort in midfield to stop our ineffective wide attackers being exposed yet again.
