Cabbage_Face Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 The one thing about his RB team, he had a player called Demme, although he had Kieta and or Kampl often they would press constant from midfield and get caught out of position but Demme had this brilliant skill of knowing when to press and more importantly who to press. So when you had Kieta/Kampl and Demme in CM, Kieta or Kampl would launch about like nutters and Demme would just wait for them to fall into his trap. This is needed for RaHa's system. I wonder if we may see less of the Lemina & Hoj and more or Lemina/Hoj and Rom? Will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we have the GK, RB, LB, Midfielders and Attackers to work. Biggest issue is CB's. Look at Vestergaard vs Man Utd for Herrera's goal. Vestergaard's complete inability to get back and mark Herrera in anyway should be something that can be fixed by good coaching. No excuses for that kind of lazy defending. Hopefully RaHa can improve the CBs we already have. Hoedt on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 MS has done nothing since he left us. He probably regrets leaving now. good to know he still follows us, but have him back? No thank you, those days are gone. The only 'returns' I remember as a success were Don Roper back from Arsenal (50s) and Mick Channon back from Man City (80s) I think if RaHa could get him back on track it would be a v astute piece of business. Even better if Walcott came too...(i know) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatball Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 An embarrassment of a post. What have Liverpool won in the last 5 years? Nothing. United? FA cup, League Cup and Europa League. Players want to win trophies. It’s not really an embarrassment though is it. If I was a pro footballer and both UTD and Liverpool came in for me, I would go to Liverpool.

kyle04 Posted 5 December, 2018 Share Posted 5 December, 2018 Although not expecting an instant turnaround, I'm quite excited by RaHa (as he seems to be known as here). I don't think we have quite enough pace in the squad to play the fast counter that RB displayed under him at times, but on it's day our midfield can be as good as any outside the top 6. I think Redmond will be key this season, assuming we can sort out our excuse for a defense, with the right coaching. This is a positive, aggressive (to quote Klopp) aquisition. COYR !

Haha blast from the past there. But actually that makes depressing reading. When Koeman left us we appointed a coach who is a far far inferior manager to all those three listed there. Les Reed, or whoever decided to hire him, should have been fired on the spot for that. It's still costing us now. Obviously Hughes and Pellegrino were poor too, but RaHa will still be working to undo the damage Puel did to this team. The effects will last an awful long time.

notnowcato Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Not that Toby A has anything to do with RaHa... but Toby's performance levels do seem to be on the decline. Having said that and having watched Utd's defence of late he'd still be an improvement for them. Ralph needs to get into our defenders minds, 2 lapses in concentration last night cost us dearly. Yoshida from the corner and Stephens when he was appealing for offside (which it clearly wasn't) rather than busting a gut to get back. We looked good going forward and on another night we'd have scored 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
