Don't understand what they're watching? Or just have a knee jerk 'blame the manager' response to every defeat |

Yeah well maybe we should try it again eh? If that's setting up to defend then we need to have a re-think about what that means. Edited by suzieghirl10, 19 Oct 2017, 06:34 PM.

Two attacking wingers who aren't great at tracking back, Armstrong well ahead of the two holding players in midfield! That's setting up to defend and hit on the counter? On a computer game perhaps, in the real world not so much

Spot on. Gamboa and KT badly exposed all night as they had players in front not known for their defensive shifts. Brendan's philosophy of trying to play open expansive is laudable but to play it against teams like Bayern away is naive and stubborn. We play that way in Paris and double figures may not be far away. |

Dunno what game you're watching but Sinclair and Roberts effectively play as wing backs in these games, not as wingers. As for Armstrong, here's his heat map from last night ![]() Again, not even remotely in line with what you're claiming. |

How do you play on the break without wingers and attacking midfielders? |

What use is an individual heat map? You need to know his positioning in relation to the players around him, in this case Brown and Ntcham in particular. Roberts and Sinclair might have been forced backwards because of the pressure Bayern subjected us to, but they were selected to take the game to Bayern, or I'm misunderstanding Brendan's idea of playing our game. If they were meant to be genuine wing backs then Brendan is playing two guys out of position! |

We could play 4-6-0 in Paris and still quite easily get hammered. |

Brown and Ntcham's heat maps both show they spent more time in advanced positions that Armstrong did during his time on the park. The very reason he was picked ahead of Rogic was his mobility. The ability to close down players and then get forward during counter attacks. Rodgers even said as much before the game. When you say that the heat map doesn't matter because it doesn't show where he is in relation to the other players, it actually does matter. It shows that as an attacking midfielder, he's spending most of his time defending - because that's how we're setting up in these games. To defend and hit on the counter. And yet posters on here are asking for us to play defensive and hit on the counter instead of what we're doing already....which is what they're asking for

Really not seeing it. Defending most of the game doesn't mean we won't concede. We are still going to give up chances vs the elite sides. It's going to happen no matter what. Are we banking on somehow keeping clean sheets and nicking a goal on the break? We are not exactly going gun ho in these games. We are trying to play on the counter but we are getting pinned back so deep and without being able to get out its just extremely difficult. Edited by puroresu_boy, 19 Oct 2017, 07:28 PM.

I don't know why folk are angry. Surely nobody thought anything other than at least 3 maulings in this season campaign was unrealistic. Wait till psg away it will be a effing bloodbath in here. Record bans could be handed out |
