a1canary 0 Posted October 27, 2008 This is the change that won us the game on Saturday. Not Bell for Croft but Hoolahoop for Cureton and we went with Bell, Russell, Sammy in the middle and JC, Sibs and Leroy up front. Not that the turn around had much to do with Cureton - could equally have been Omar or Lupoli.We weren''t getting any joy down the wings because they were packing the midfield. I don''t think Roeder would favour this as a starting line up but i think it gives us a really useful option if we''re not creating anything up front. After all, our last major success in this league was with playing 4-3-3, even if Hucks-Sven-Leon isn''t quite the same as Omar-Sibs-Leroy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

we8wba 0 Posted October 27, 2008 your midfield won the game vs wolves - for that fact i wouldnt change your formation, no disrespect but you not known for your high scoring powers within the league and i think you be better of keeping things tighter than say opening games up.

a1canary 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Come off it Wiz - there is not judgement here on JC, just fact. He couldn''t and didn''t do a great deal in the 12 minutes he had. End of. He looked lively though and probably unsettled them a bit. I''m talking about the formation though. It gave them something else to deal with. And they didn''t. It''s a useful change for Roeder to have up his sleeve in a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Spector 0 Posted October 27, 2008 I''m sorry Wiz, but JC really didn''t contribute anything on Saturday. Apart from ducking out of the way at one point for some unbeknown reason. Will give his all, but isn''t the player he was. He doesn''t have the pace to get it behind defences (ala Koroma) or the skill to take it round them (ala Lupoli), and in the last year has lost his clinical touch. Hate to say it, but Cureton''s days are numbered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,456 Posted October 27, 2008 Ok.... your pig headed [;)]Unfortunatley Wiz with the best will in the world 20 minutes of Canaries World highlights cant tell you how well a player did in his 12 minute substitute appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Pilkington 0 Posted October 27, 2008 It may have been Cureton on for Patches O''Hoolahan but Cureton was playing left midfield. Not part of a 3 pronged attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted October 27, 2008 Liverpool play like a lot of European teams. They play with Torres pushed up and one from Keane, Reina, Kuyt and Babel. They attack with 3, which makes it 4-3-3 and defend as 5-4-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
