Under AVB's new system of play we are going to crumble and fail. We are just not that type of team that plays two cdm's and invites pressure. It is total ignorance if AVB keeps playing it we work best with.
Friedel/Lloris - Friedels save was immense today, kept us in it.
Walker, Gallas, Vertonghen, BAE
Lennon RM, Sandro cm , Dembele cm Bale - LM
Dempsey CF
Adebayor.
We work so much better pressing up pitch. We have always been suspect in trying to defend and it has showed badly last 3 games. We have lost what could be 7 crucial points come the end of season. Regardless i don't think we worked hard enough to find another striker or Modric replacement so we gotta make do with what we have. Livermore shouldn't start again for the rest of season.
System doesn't work

Completely agree, big negative i had today was not taking off the useless livermore, he is a championship player at best

Well, Dembele is supposed to replace Modric. But we didn't bring him on until Minute 70 or later.
So .... go figure what AVB is thinking.

I have always been a big champion of Livermore - after a very poor start last season I thought he became brilliant, but to be fair this season he has looked dreadful, as has Sandro (but a few flashes of brilliance there).
Poor article though imo for the ridiculously reactionary and negative opening sentence after just three games

---------------------
Surely he is thinking 'all of these players are a cut above those of Norwich so should be able to best them. And while Dembele has only been training with us for a few days, Sandro and Livermore have been training together, and with the rest of the team, for years, so we'll start them and it should be enough with Bale and Lennon doing their usual stuff down the wings (cough)'?
Is that too logical?

He may have been thinking that ... but what he was actually watching was Norwich versus Brad Freidel.
Their wingers were making our backs look stupid.
