Liverpools formation changes loads, TAA steps in to CM from RB Arsenal do the same but with the LB

He didn't drop to left back in those games either, he played as a wide cb who overlapped much like Chris Wilders used to when they had O'Connell and Basham. Attacking shapes change to defensive shapes after the transition phase. If we buy someone like Coady you end up with him being in a 3...

2 games? by the Derby game Rudi was playing as a normal lb in defence hence him being in a left position when he played that awful back pass

it's no where near the same, apart from 2 games that had Rudoni at LWB we defended with a 5 and played full backs as wingbacks so there was no back 4

a few times against elite teams

Well history shows he is very unlikely to play a back 5 so why buy/loan someone who can only play in a 5? Also we recruited for a 4 so if he is going to play what suits the squad best then once again it is a back 4.

Well that is what the websites that list these things say he is on

because those are not the tactics FL plays

? The point is we don't play 3 cbs so why sign someone who can only really play as part of a 3?

if that in places there's some good players and a lot of meh

No he wasn't he was standing at LCB

If you watch the games it's not on saturday when we had the ball we set up like this: Collins Thomas-Binks-JDS Sheaf-Eccles MVE-Saka-Simms-Rudi-EMC Off the ball we would try to filter back into: Collins MVE-Thomas-Binks-JDS Saka-Sheaf-Eccles-EMC Simms-Rudi If you watch the game or read the...

That's why we were changing to a 4-4-2 in defence which should be more solid than a base 3-4-2-1 system as the wing backs in the 3-4-2-1 can get caught too far field. It'll take time but there are reasons why teams what that shape. We just need to practice it as on Saturday the midfield where...

Yeah, the issues is the lack defensively ability. We need to use systems like that as before we seems to stick to the base formation which would mean a) we get overloaded b) we create no overloads

No, put tactics played by elite teams filter down to other teams. Out of possession it's a back 4 with another bank of 4 in front of them. The issue sadly is the lack of defensive ability of our left backs.

He's adapted, it's not how lots of managers played but the do now.

Why it is done

no, it's how modern elite teams set up Liverpool, Arsenal, City, United etc all are in a a 3-2-5 when in possession.

A left back that doesn't seem great at defending, just what we need. Also if we stick to the system Lampard brought in for Cardiff then the left back isn't going to attack much.
