Style of play

[redhorizon2]

So from the friendlies you've seen has our approach changed much from last season?

 

[cloggypop]

We seem to be using a lot of substitutes.

 

[Oncy]

Yep.

 

[StevieM]

Nope.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Maybe

 

[refugee]

We don't pass the ball to Suarez as much.

 

[StevieM]

I think we've cover all possibilities now.

Now all we need is dreaming to put it all together in one post & contradict himself.

We seem to be using more threads, started by the same poster, to discuss our style of play.

Echo

In a side of few weaknesses last season, goals from the midfielders were not as frequent as Rodgers wanted. Henderson scored four league goals; Allen notched one; Philippe Coutinho managed just five.
It is a position which could potentially yield at least 10 more goals this season – and it seems clear that is what the team are looking to do, with the two advanced midfielders pushing high up the pitch and making surges into the box.

The showing against Manchester City at Yankee Stadium was good and, despite facing a sluggish Milan side, the passing was crisp, the quick breakaways were lightning, the movement was intelligent. Most noticeable of all, the pressing was strong, vibrant, relentless.
