Player Valuation: A packet of pork scratchings
I bet Brent cant believe his luck how many teams refuse to learn the staggeringly obvious lesson on trying to commit against them. Villa showed them a mirror image and Brent didn't know WTF to do about it.
If all the teams they played so far since January had played them like Villa, sure they'd have suffered the penalties and danger of whipped in free kicks you point to, but I cant believe they'd have the points total they have now. I said it before and I'll say it again: it's a system that just cant be sustained. Liverpool will have to evolve a plan B for the future because eventually even stubborn PL managers with more ego than sense will act to snuff their threat out.
I agree, I think he got lucky with this supposed new 'style' as it's not what he was preaching for his first year or so there. It's basically get it forward as quick as you like & they're benefitting from teams showing them a lack of respect I suppose, as they're not making an allowance for this simple strategy and being undone. That won't last indefinitely and there'll be a few 'Routemasters' for them to navigate past in the coming weeks I'm sure.
I'm with you, I think the man's a total fraud and this will be exposed when he's actually got to make meaningful changes to their current 'style'.
