Rogers sticking to his Guns Good or Bad ?

With Brendan Rogers sticking to his guns of passing possession football . Sounds good but is it handing the opposition the game plan before a ball is kicked . Liverpool’s inability of breaking down the so called lesser opposition last season was clear to all . Teams came to Anfield knowing what to expect . They were happy to let Liverpool have the ball throwing men behind the ball . 9 times out of 10 we were unable to break them down . The league final standing spoke for its self .

So with-in his plans does the word unpredictability enter into his tactics . My biggest fears is 75% possession playing great stuff only to draw 0.0 or as happened last season the defeat .

The talk of not playing without a striker is understandable . I can see a two tier midfield with Suarez and Borini fitting into that . With maybe Dempsey tucking in behind as extra teeth .

But Rogers inability to back Carroll with in his plans worry s me slightly . Carroll impressed me in the later part of last season . Dropping deep hassling laying balls off putting it about in the box . My thoughts were if he kept off the piss in the pre-season he would have a 35 million season this year . But Rodgers seems not to be keen . Will that in-danger are element of surprise , is his tactics too set in stone , making it easy for opposition managers to counter act , That is my fear , I am all for my team playing attractive football . But after the last decade I would take a season of grinding out 1.0 victory’s . Keep teams guessing keep the ball but players have got to be comfortable on the ball .

Spain’s victory in the Euros was amazing but they played 3 different ways in their 6 games . The passing Spanish/Barcelona way is great, but it is on the verge of being sussed hence Spain’s switch in tactics over the tournament. So I am hoping Rodgers has a few strings to his bow , and not just a one trick pony . YNWA
