Everton might have a transition season next year?

[Everstone]

Transition re - vamp.

Baby I don't care!

Looking forward to seeing our new everton take shape. Plenty of wages to splash out when our top earners move on.

Don't understand the hate for Rodgers here.



I won't deny that against 'big' teams, we do go for the long ball. That's a tactic in a sense. Rodgers knows our defending isn't that good. He knows our front two are excellent strikers, he tries to limit the midfield, cut off the opponent's balls into midfield, and lets our strikers run riot? Isn't that a tactic in a sense?

Against Southampton, we knew what they were going to do. We played a midfield diamond, we nullified the attacking threats of Lallana and Rodriguez, stopped Shaw and Chambers from overlapping, stopped crosses getting in constantly. We got the ball forward to Suarez and Sturridge who tried to break the high line of Soton.

I wouldn't think Rodgers would enforce on the so called 'long ball' tactics next season. We are definetly going to have some real money to spend this summer, at least 40m, and you probably dont watch us much, but during Rodgers's first half season at Liverpool, he played our posession game very well. Sure, results were disastrous, but the posession part, we got it right. Shows that he knows how to create a passing game.

If he can somehow evolve us into a posession based side like Barcelona, just for example, meh, i can see us doing well next season on all fronts.

Nobody gives a feck about how you are going to do next season. If you want to talk about Liverpool, bloody do one over to RAWK, or at least go on the World Football section!

Liverpool are Wimbledon in red shirts and their hoofball is detested by football purists.

So Rodgers can play the passing and possesion game, but by doing that your results are disastrous...............

Sounds to me like he can't get you playing effective passing or possesions game.

Oh, and Rodgers is a bulb.

Sorry guys but a lot of you are wrong about Lpool no team that play hoof ball is the leagues top scores above Man City, I've seen them play great football and rip teams apart like Us and Arsenal.

They're hoofball.

If you had any idea of football, you would realise that you are wrong. Also, if you have strikers who are good enough, you'll score goals. That is excatly whats happened to Liverpool.

Liverpool are certainly hoofball. Nothing wrong with that really, as they play to their strengths. They get the ball in advanced areas as quickly as possible to take advantage of the only quality players they have in their side.

We mocked them for the tiki taka and, credit to Rodgers, he adapted the style. What is surprising is that teams haven't figured them out yet - all that needs to be done is to put players on Sturridge and Suarez like limpets and bully them for the first ball so they don't have time to turn and face, but it seems every team is content to watch as one of them drops deep and latches on to the hoof to start the attack.

I still believe we are actually a better "team" than them,the difference being their "big" players Suarez,Sturridge,Gerrard and to a degree Sterling give him his due have stepped up to the plate and carried them especially since the turn of the year,obviously it helps that weekly they have seemingly had the rub of the green,our big players thinking of Mirallas,Pienaar,Lukaku have been inconsistent to put it kindly in that same period.I still don't get the love in with Henderson and Coutinho though,I'm quite happy with McCarthy and Barkley for us if you're looking at like for like,PS try explaining this to a kopite,then again don't waste your breath on them!!

He couldn't get his 'principles' to work out and ditched them to lump the ball long. I see no adaptation. I see a manager who knew he had one season left to roll the dice to keep his job and just let Gerrard have his way with the long ball game up to Suarez/Sturridge...something they used to do with success when Torres was there for Gerrard to hit long to.

Rodgers has nothing to do with this. It's all about Gerrard's preferences.

Lol at the bit about having a sensible debate on RAWK.

Firstly if you say you are a blue they wont even let you sign up.

Second if you are following the company line your thread gets closed

Thirdly RAWK are utter bells so sensible debate is never going to happen.

 

[Bilko]

send this man a GOT mug !!

 

[nigelcoyb]

Looking forward to see who Martinez brings in when these players legs go (gone??), no one I'd rather have setting us up for the next decade.

Liverpool are all about Suarez if something happens to him, well ...... their forehead penises will droop dramatically.

 

[Neiler]

Of all those players - all will be here next year.

Not forgetting we have Kone and Gibbo coming back for the long term.

Our big miss will be Lukaku. Hopefully we can keep hold of Barry.
