I don’t get the criticism of the midfield 3 over lack of creativity. Liverpool play 3 solid central midfielders and both create and score a shed load of goals. Son and Kane - 2 outstanding players, Lamela presses and has had a very good start to the season. Then as per Liverpool albeit one game Rose and Aurier were excellent against Palace. Plus we’ve been crying out for more protection in the middle and that’s come at the expense of Eriksen whom was a disgrace during the week.
Liverpool have the best attacking full backs in the league who get more assists than most teams midfielders. They play with an intensity and tempo that we can't match, in a system that suits them and which they know like the back of their hand.

Another fucking formation change. Poch is really getting on my nerves this season with his constant tinkering. Believe me when I say I'm not the only one who hates it.
Is it also the players who hate it or more boardroom level?

Yeah - you cannot compare that.

And that's why we're shit when playing with 3 CMS. We're not Liverpool, not even close. We need creative players.

And probably a shitload of other complaints once the game actually starts :D

Me doing this to the thread when the game kicks off.

People come out with this stuff pretty regularly and it's pretty much always a silly soundbite, a yatta yatta thing that a few people actually believe for some strange reason..........Last season on Blue Moon (or whatever its called) before Man City lost at Leicester........

Honestly, its the kind of thing that should never be said by anyone with an ounce of sense, it should result in the perp having red hot pokers rammed forcefully up their botty holes.
Obviously, the City fan is an idiot because still, after all that he didn't learn his lesson.........

Pass the red hot pokers. He soon will be.

I'll leave it to you to decide wether or not it's you, the City fan or both of you that's mistaken ;)

Yeah I’m happy enough with the team. Son and Kane starting together is good news.

Your last paragraph made me laugh. My mum used to exile my dad to the car when I was a kid and Tottenham was on the TV because he used to get so emotional. It was like living with someone with intense multiple personality disorder that flared up once or twice a month and lasted about 90 minutes

Given how Leicester tore us apart in midfield at Wembley I'm not surprised if we go 3 in midfield. I think I'd prefer a 2 with 1 in front rather than a double pivot though. Give Ndombele freedom to drive into those central areas and thread balls through to the front 3.

Sissoko----Sissoko
Ndombele
Lamela--------Son
Kane


Sissoko got his twin playing
