Dejan Lovren

Unfortunately, the system is for the CBs to be 40 yards away from each other.  And the full backs at least 40 yards away from the CBs.

 

middy amusing, but in reality, it isn't.  

[stringvest]

 

 

Obviously not to scale.  And to think you went to the trouble to draw it out.  How sweet.  When attacking, the CBs should push to be on or around the half way line, with the FBs slightly ahead.  When defending the FBs will return to a more traditional positioning, marking the opposition runners from deep.  The CBs will usually be much closer together, pulled out of position on occasion to cover from balls over the top of the FBs.  Which is why the system requires pace in all back 4 positions, and a deep lying CM who is adept at reading the game.  

[TheFridge]

But 2 left footers who are also not very pacey doesn't seem to be the ticket. 

 

Lovren is very good with both feet but he is actually right footed.

[stringvest]

Sakho is also two footed - with the added advantage that he can lump the ball 70 yards to feet with a swing of his massive cock.  He may have smeg but he'll never get megged.

 

EDIT - apart from the other night obviously

That's Benitez-Ball. It's gone. Get over it. (A system implemented with ZERO pace in all back 4 positions BTW).

[Mojo]

he is young and enthusiastic, so I have hope he will keep on improving. Let's not forget his assets that he already has, like being good on the ball, which most defenders either have already or will never learn properly.

Except Benitez never implemented it. Or at least not to any great effect.  And why would you try to implement a system like it with no pace in your back four?

Yeah right, because compactness, compression, full backs taking their attacking position from their defensive posture were all absent. OK!

 

As to why he implemented that thing, that you said he didn't implement, without pace. Maybe because his best defenders didn't have pace. Despite sightings, the mythical Hyypia with pace was never found. And it turned out to be redundant anyway because, if you make the pitch small, pace isn't critical.

[Bjornebye]

Lovren will be fine. So will Sakho. Them two will be our main back 2 for the next few years. 

[Mr T]

He's apparently a great organiser who can't or won't communicate when he's on for a long-ball.

 

He's shite I'm afraid. Sakho may or may not come good but this guy has nothing and is a definite downgrade on Agger. 

[ZonkoVille77]

He's not the answer anyhow.

Not a bad player by any means but unless we get a system sorted we're fucked.

[Trucker Paddy]

Bar been a very good tackler I can't think of anything else he's good at. £20m staggering waste of resources.

[aRdja]

Bring back Agger.

[LFC 6 Times]

He's fucking shit, can't believe we blew 20 million on this guy.

[eeyore]

It's the most disturbing piece of business in the summer without a doubt. Swapping agger for lovren is just about the worst downgrade in the history of the game since we swapped alonso for aquillani.

[Ranxerox]

played better after the concussion

[J-V]

played better after the concussion

 

hahaha.  Sakho should nut him before the kick off from now on.

[The Golden Eel]

He's been shite so far

[stringvest]

He's been shite so far

 

You've lost that Lovren feeling

[The Golden Eel]

You've lost that Lovren feeling

You're righteous, brother

[Captain]

I must admit it looks like Rodgers has bought himself a problem.

 

Fingers crossed he'll improve.

[stringvest]

I'm worried about Lovren.  

[Mojo]

I'm more worried about Sakho. He has been around longer than 5 games.
