I still want Thiago so who are we selling?
No Henderson is my best guess.
He does so much of the tracking back to cover the full backs.

But he was playing?
But he was used differently.
Im no tactical expert but my read is that Liverpool’s defence works best when they have Fabinho ss holding mid and Henderson tracking back from a more forward mid Position to support the defence.
This allows TAA and Robbo to go forward as much as they like and leaves 4 players still able to create a proper defensive line.
I haven’t watched last nights game yet but I do know Fab came on for Hendo - they did not play together.
I think Henderson and Liverpool are their best when Fab is on and Hendo is on at the same time assisting the defence from a more forward position.

I think it mainly that we didn't start with Fab - plus fair play to Leeds they seemed absolutely deadly up front. We didn't defend great with VVD with some mistakes and Gomez not near the action but some of the Leed's goals were top shelf.

Curtis Jones was excellent when he came on, made a real positive difference. I think we’ll see heaps of him this season.

If we sign Thiago Milner looks like the one who will have his game time cut back significantly.
I think that means Milner plays at right back as backup to Trent, in place of Neco

Complacency is a big one for me. Too casual at times, we need to get focused again down back as we know we are way better defensively than we have shown recently.
I don't have an issue with that, seems the logical choice to me.
Our midfield presses very high but teams are getting better at bypassing that press and run straight at our back 4 who are often caught very square nowadays

So we adopt a new strategy on corners with Virgil running in from the edge of the box, to prevent him from being held and virtually mauled by opposition defenders, as had happened last season.
It's kind of ironic then, that Curtis gets pinged for holding back the Leeds player who followed Virgil in that disallowed goal.
I like the tactic though, it should make opposition defenders more accountable.

Virgil was trying to be cute with the second and play it out to LB and retain possession. Betrer to clear the ball into the stand and ask questions later.

If we can't get enough money out of any combination of that lot to pay for a proper 4th choice CB or even dare i say it Thiago,then i don't know what to think anymore. A quality wide forward is just a pipe dream.

Yes. Tactics evolve. We will have plans to counter that,but I would have loved to have seen Thiago for example, in action today. We would have reduced our reliance on our fullbacks and have someone like him provide searching and more incisive forward passing. It would have made Bielsa think about his murderball strategy.
