Спорт

In this video, I analyse Ruben Amorim's tactics and explain why he would be better suited as Liverpool's manager than Xabi Alonso.

    Nope a 10 sits behind. Madders is a prime example. This formation doesn't play a 10 to suit Liverpool players (a lot of them btw). You'd be taking out one of the front three which I'd prefer to keep Diaz, Nunez, Salah, Jota, Gakpo. There's too many midfielders for this formation to work.

I wanted him for the emotional and nostalgic connection and his team plays beautiful football and he’s clearly very good and will be an amazing manager for years to come but it felt more like a city team than a Liverpool team and maybe too big a change from Klopp. This excites me more for sure. Sporting’s games seem a little more “chaotic” and they’re enjoyable for sure.

    Interesting thing about us as well is that we have rebuilt section by section Front line first, Jota, Minamino, Diaz, Nunez, Harvey, Gakpo, Carvalho all in quick succession Midfield next, Macca, Szob, Gravy, Endo all this last window And this window was due to be defense, where this formation is the most ill-fitting. We have 5 defenders across 3 positions (not enough imo especially considering the injury records of Matip, Konate and Gomez) and so were due for a new CB and potentially a new LB or two as well. If he does come in I wouldn’t be surprised to see any of: Diomande, Hincapie, Colwill, Murillo, lots of players who can both play LCB or even that LB role if need be, and wouldn’t be surprised to see 2-3 new defenders and a DM.

    The average positions of Ruben Amorim's Sporting are a work of art. They had a 3 - 1 - 6 recently hahaha Would be like Klopp's early days when it was a guns blazing all-out attack, " You might score, but not as much as us" mentality. And as much as the Trent inverting experiment worked, seeing him and Bradley bombing up the wing again would be special. I also think Alphonso Davies could definitely be a long-term Robbo replacement if he doesn't get swiped by Madrid first.

    I know this sounds like I'm just bitter about getting Alonso - which I am, he's the clear standout young coach in world football right now. But we all said a few weeks back that there are a few big players who really wouldn't suit Alonso's system - Salah, Trent, Robertson. There isn't that problem with Amorim - you can watch Sporting and clearly see where the Liverpool counterparts would slot in - and his football is very similar to ours; high line, high press as opposed to Alonso's slow build-up, possession-based system.

    Very interesting. Thank you James. Thing is though I don't know how other teams perceive and approach Sporting CP, but with Liverpool about 90% of teams play a low block/2 banks of 4 typically with 8 or 9 players in their defensive third of the pitch at all times. Hence the main thing I took from this, how to exploit space, may not be massively relevant as the main challenge for Liverpool is always how to break these teams down.

    Just a small correction. While yes, in the game you showed, Coates was the more "proactive" CB when it came to long passes, in general, the one in our Squad that does it best (and imo, is one of the best CB in the world doing it) is Gonçalo Inácio, who wasnt at the game against Boavista. And Inácio, being left foot + Coates being right foot gives some good chances of finding any space from their passes. One more thing to point out is that, even if the block is low, Inácio will instead try to find the space between their defenders and midfield, so not only he can put it behind the defenders but he can put it in between lines. I think if Amorim goes to Liverpool he will try to bring Inácio with him.

    I think Bajcetic in one of the wide CB positions would be brilliant. Calm on the ball, played as a CB in the academy. Would be fascinating to see how he’s implemented in the system. I think Dom will thrive, as will Nunez. Nunez as the spearhead and Domo behind him would be lethal. Lastly, an Endo/Maca double pivot is super exciting to think about. Good ball players and controlling possession. Curious to see how Trent is implemented in this system.

    Our double 6 will likely not be identical to theirs. Young stefan Bajcetic has really strong passing, awareness and tackling ability. Im thinking the new gen of double 6 are identical in their play style, ball progressors that can win the ball back and retain posession. The other key style in Klopp's system is the geigen press. Geigen pressing with a double 6 could be weird, we usually have one of our midfielders leading the press (Szobo) then the attackers following. Would be interesting to see if counterpressing football is possible with this formation.

    No doubt Jones is an excellent player and seems to be becoming more complete with each game he plays. But to say he is our most complete midfielder is a bit of a stretch. Alexis Macallister is one of the most complete midfielders in the whole of the premier-league let alone just Liverpool. His performance last night against Sheffield United was magnificent. Being switched from a 6 to an 8 and back again shows how truly versatile he is ( he could easily play at a 10 as well ), and that goal will become as iconic as Stevie G's goal against Olympiacos if we go on to win the league.

    3 CB's is perfect for Liverpool. Joe Gomez is already getting a lot of experience playing of the left this season meaning Liverpool wont have to sign an expensive starting CB. Klopp has done really well setting Liverpool up to be able to be transitioned to new tactics and formations when a new manager comes back. Endo has been an amazing signing and can be our starting 6 for at least the next 3 years, macca , Szoboszlai, gravenberch,Jones, Elliott and clark are all young and offer so many tactical options.the front line is insanely versatile and finally the wingbacks .Liverpool have the best wingback combinations in the league, if trent and robbo aren't thwre then you got Bradley and tsimikas, all these wingbacks have started in and won finals for Liverpool.
