Blimey did he say that or is that your idea?
That's what I think he said to Jack before he came on based on his body language and reaction - just screamed 'if that's what you want boss'.

Ah, so it's Mike Field boll locks then!That's what I think he said to Jack before he came on based on his body language and reaction - just screamed 'if that's what you want boss'.
I somewhat agree but who would have scored it 100% on their left foot, I wouldn't fancy any of our players
I noticed it with Ramsey and McGinn at Palace also. When the centre-backs were on the ball, their closest option was the two midfielders hugging the touchline, with the full-backs pushed higher and slightly inside. I think it stretches the opposition better. The roles within the midfield are now more defined and it's why we're seeing the best out of Marv too in my humble opinion - clearly defined role to stay central and protect that area, which he is very good at.Interesting thing I noticed last night and not sure if anybody else did, but Luiz and McGinn, primarily 1st half, dropping into Cash's and Targett's positions with them higher up the field when we were bringing the ball out from the back. No idea the reasoning behind this, maybe keep possession better or disrupt Citehs line's but it's intriguing and maybe just another example of Gerrard's tactical nous.
Whatever it is I'm extremely impressed by how he's got us playing so far.

I did that all the time on Billesley Common.

Try that at Billesley Common and it hits a lump of turf and bounces harmlessly towards the corner flag, except between February and April where it gets stuck in a puddle.
Tonev would have got it over the roof and halfway to Aston Church.He'd have killed 3 Pigeons in row Z of the Holte

Probably been mentioned already - but a big shout out to Mr Nakamba again last night....thought he was very good again at beaking up play and nicking into challenges. His overall composure and passing have improved 10 fold....
Along with Amavi, Gueye, Veretout, and co...it shows what confidence and proper direction can do for a player - we really should try not to write anyone off.
It was quite similar at Chelsea away , the top/elite teams start fast and like to get that early goal .They had 4 corners in 5 minutes !

Two of the front three who are not known for their defensive work and couldn't tackle the skin off a rice pudding. And to take it a step further, if we do win the ball there's no outlet because the people who should be further up the pitch to receive the ball, are stood on the toes of the full back.Yep hence McGinn chasing down Silva for that second goal, Targett nowhere to be seen and poor old Ezri playing on his own but yes it's the way Klopp plays and it works for them.
It's very noticeable what we are trying to do ie midfielders covering the fullback and not expecting 2 of the front 3 to do it. I like it
I started supporting Villa in 1974-5 season in the old Div 2. I knew we were a bigger club than Leicester back then who were in the division above and also Derby who won the league. We came up with Manure that season and we all knew how big they were, even then. It still has a lot to do with stadium size and how full it is as well as history of the club. Admittedly our zenith was in the 19th Century and we've won very little since WWII, but we still have a star on our badge and the wonderful name of Aston Villa to fall back on.I suppose a teenage Villa fan views Leicester as a bigger club than Villa as they will have only seen Leicester as above us and Villa as a championship/ newly-promoted side.
I see people views are often era or age-related as to how we see things
The all time league is a pretty good indication of the big clubs 5th in the overall and still 9th if you only count the PL era.
I think it was known as "association football" back then, which as everyone from Sutton knows is a far superior product played by gentlemen in long shorts, woolen jumpers while smoking a pipeyou mean there was football before the 1990s wow Liverpool will be glad of that
I think he'll stay that height but I agree he looked really goodEven though he wasn't on for long I was impressed with sanson. Looked to try and drive us forward with a few nice touches.
Hopefully he will grow under Gerrard.
Agree, we finally saw a player in there.Even though he wasn't on for long I was impressed with sanson. Looked to try and drive us forward with a few nice touches.
