I'd have thought that's more a matter of positional familiarity then, as the movements required for the above strategy would be quite unnatural for a winger? Maybe a few more months of practice and he should be able to do the job I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 4 hours ago, coolhandfox said: It very fluid Bertrand, Soyuncu, and Amartey make the 3, Riccardo push up to make the 4 with Barnes, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison play as a 10, Perez come infield as another 10 and Vardy up top. It seems to be 3-4-2-1 in possession if we are attacking down the right side as when we were attacking down the left and Bertrand was supporting Barnes, Ricardo was not slotting in as the 3rd centre half, he was pushing right up. I couldn't quite tell in that scenario if Ndidi was then dropping back and Perez joining Youri but I liked the way Bertrand and Barnes team up so far, I was worried Bertrand wouldn't support him that well but he's been class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean realistically who is he getting ahead of on the bench from Saturday? Ward, Benkovic, Thomas, Choudhury, Soumare, KDH, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Daka With options of Albrighton, Nacho and Daka on the bench Sowah wouldn't have been needed as well, 12 man bench and he would've been on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420Hashish Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 Apparently we're linked with Jesse Lingard as Maddison's replacement in case he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccardo is drops more to a traditional RB, when Bertrand goes forward and Perez drops wider, almost like we go to a more normal 4-2-3-1 when that happens. Seem to me this is Rodgers finding a way to clever way play without the RM we all want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack Posted 9 August 2021 Share Posted 9 August 2021 6 hours ago, CloudFox said: This makes so much sense now, especially after seeing it work so well for Italy at the Euros and so well for us in Community Shield. It's why I don't get the Perez hate (as much as he is frustrating). He does his job as you've described. Where we need to improve on him is having someone who is equally good at dropping inside like him, but also stretching play as Barnes does - even just as an alternative option during games. Doing so would make us that bit more fluid and allow our attacks to be even more varied. I am sure the hate is based on his lack of goals. As you have said he is doing his role in other ways, as Shinji did while here. Being a forward he is purely being judged on goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite links to massive clubs over the past few years, and I’m sure his highlights reel looks great but his numbers aren’t really that good are they?
