Time to just go for it

"In 08/09 rafa took the shackles off the team and just went for it in the last 2 or 3 months of season and the team flourished. Its time to do the same now."

Last 10 games of the season: 28 points.
First 10 games of the season 26 points.

Just remember the basics: go for all out attack and you leave yourself open at the back - otherwise everyone would be doing it!

Liverpool have a good defence - do you really want to give that up?

Id say we've been playin counter attacking football most of the season bt thats just my opinion. I still think we could easily play a higher pressing and higher tempo style of play with more attacking players on the pitch.

We were playing pretty decent stuff all season in 08/09 bt u cant say something didnt change about march that year. The team were obviously sent out to just batter teams right from the start and it worked a treat. Maybe it is a bit about mentality bt its also about the team thats picked and the way they are told to play.

Yeah we started the season well but how did we do in the 10 games b4 the last 10? U obviously have the stats there bt id guess we did nowhere near as well.

Yeah u r right we'd be open at the back but at least we could say we gave it a right good go. As u say we have a good defence, 3rd best in the prem i think so maybe we can afford to be a bit more expansive.

I think the (lack of) confidence has a lot more to do with things than the tactics.

The tactics have been play attacking football.

Couldn't agree more. Would love to see the youngsters getting a chance. Here's hoping Sterling or Suso or both turn out to be as class as I think they can be.

P.s. Off topic but news just came in that AVB has just been sacked.

Oh dear.

Thats your opinion m8 and your entitled to it. I just dont agree. Tactics for me have been to play counter attacking football.

We can definatley be set up more attacking in my eyes. The players have the ability to cope with it, we play some lovely passing at times.

>>Would love to see the youngsters getting a chance.

We've got nothing to play for other than the FA Cup.

This could be a great thing regarding youth development. Neil Warnock might lose his mind about it but that's a bonus as well

agree to disagree then Mellor

Player power at its best. Joke for me. Horrible club, no respect for them what so ever. He never had a hope in hell of doing well with them with the size of the ego's in that dressing room.

If the rumours r true and rafa gets the job lamps is in for more heart ache. Hes never in a million years a benitez type player.

there aren't shackles to take off. Other than mental ones when it comes to finishing and penalties.

Totally agree with this.
