…………

The bad news followed one after another. When the team lost, all the negative factors broke out together.

In the Liverpool team, of course, the most pressured is Rogers, who coached the giants for the first time.

Although Rogers has not given up his pass and control play, Liverpool's record seems to prove that Rogers' stubbornness may ruin the team.

The new Premier League season has started 4 rounds. Liverpool has not won, 2 draws and 2 losses. Liverpool with 2 points have been ranked in the relegation zone in the standings!

Although it was indeed unfriendly to Liverpool at the beginning of the match, they encountered defending champions Manchester City in the third round of the second round and the traditional giants Arsenal.

However, in two consecutive home games, in this kind of strong matchup, Liverpool played a 1-2 game and a 2-2 game, which caused the opponents to retreat. It really made the Liverpool fans watching the match very angry.

The smooth offense that the team wants to play is not only not played, but the team's defensive standard, which is an obvious regression from the previous season.

But no one blames Yang Feng, to blame Scott, to blame the overall defense players including Reina. Everyone understands that this kind of frequent loss of goals is definitely not the responsibility of the defenders, but the players in front of them, who have had too many problems.

Even Yang Feng and Scotter have increased their tacit understanding. In terms of defensive performance, they are actually better than last season. It’s just that the two of them now face more and more difficult defensive problems. Something is helpless.

In the one-month new season, the passing tactics that Rogers brought about were still a bit unacceptable in Liverpool, and the team's offensive threat on the court did not have a suppressive effect.

But the number of direct counterattacks for mistakes is still that many.

When facing a strong team such as Manchester City and Arsenal twice, although Rogers made on-the-spot tactical adjustments, the team no longer rushed to attack and reduced the number of mistakes.

But reduction does not mean no. For the offensive players of the two giants, in the face of mistakes sent by their opponents, the ability to seize opportunities is still a grade higher than that of weak team players.

So even though Rogers chose a slightly conservative tactic in the two games, the occasional mistakes still caused a lot of conceded goals.

Nowadays, there are many doubts about Rogers' formation.

The first is the frontline problem. Although Suarez is limited by the lack of support from his teammates, he scored 2 goals in 4 games and his performance was fairly decent.

But Borini, as a new addition to Liverpool this season, directly occupies the main forward position. The key is that he has no corresponding performance at all.

Different from the original historical trajectory, Carroll has also become a beneficiary of Liverpool's defensive attack last season due to Yang Feng. Carroll, who is fairly decent in terms of statistics, has not been loaned out this season as in the original history. Leaving, but still in Liverpool's new season lineup.

Although his performance on the field did not correspond to his own worth of 35 million pounds, it is definitely not the pure parallel player in history who has no effect on Liverpool.

At least, many players on the Liverpool field, as well as the fans off the field, are also accustomed to the team having an air master who can master the first position.

And now, it’s for Rogers’s own control tactics to abandon

Carol, who was still useful, was dropped, but Borini, who didn't have much effect, would bring constraints to Suarez. Everyone resented this.

In midfield, Rodgers' selection of talents is also widely criticized.

Regardless of how he played, Joe Allen steadily occupied a Liverpool midfield position, but his weak defensive ability was now caught by many teams, which caused a fatal blow to Liverpool.

Of course, Gerrard is an unsuspecting starter, but for the other two midfield choices, Rogers has made a variety of attempts to cooperate in the new season.

Counting the midfielders who sometimes play off the bench in the game, in just four rounds, Rogers has almost used the talent pool of the midfield reserve.

Downing, Lucas, Henderson, Shervey, Shaheen, Charlie Adam and teenager Sterling.

Rogers has tried all players who can be sent to play in the midfield position, but it is obvious that Rogers' tactical arrangement is dead, but living players cannot complete it.

The reason why the attack is not successful is that Liverpool's midfield is unbalanced and there has been no way to solve the problem.

Even a midfielder where all members are unstable, how can it be possible to pass and control football more finely than traditional play. Mistakes are naturally inevitable.

Only the backcourt players are still slightly stable, but it may also be due to the lack of personnel supplementation. Many players believe that there is no obvious personnel supplementation in the backcourt, so that Rogers has no "primary line" to place in, giving Liverpool a "pure land".

The defensive line led by Yang Feng has performed well in the new season. Although he has conceded a lot of goals, he has successfully defended a lot. This is the only comfort for fans.

For Rogers, the best problem to solve is actually the striker problem. You only need to replace Bolini and other strikers to achieve results.

For example, the loudest voice is Carol, who has been sitting on the bench.

But this is a matter of principle for Rogers himself. Although the team's early record is not good, Rogers does not want to change his tactics easily. He believes that the poor record is just the reason for the team's insufficient running-in problem.

If at this time, for a more concise offense, Carroll is sent on the field, then although the offensive and defensive effects may be better for a while, but his entire passing control system may be devastating due to the lack of a player. Blow.

After all, until now, there hasn't been a team that is known for passing and controlling. After joining an awkward high center forward, it can still play the delicate passing and controlling as desired.

Back then, it was as strong as Barcelona. After the introduction of Ibrahimovic, the pass and control football he was good at was obviously not so smooth.

You know, although Ibrahimovic is tall, his flexibility and skills at his feet are absolutely not bad. Carol can be stronger by more than one grade, but Ibrahimovic can't adapt to the pass and control play. A more rough Carlo If you play ~lightnovelpub.net~, it means that the pass football that Rogers wants to play is destined to be shattered early.

Rogers is now considering whether he can use the younger Spanish forward Suso to become Suarez's partner, or simply use 5 midfielders to further strengthen the team's midfield strength.

The problem on the front line is just a small problem compared to the problem of Liverpool's current midfield lineup. Rogers still needs to find a more stable midfield combination that can hold the ball and not make mistakes.

It can only be said that the team's pre-season preparation time is too short, the midfielders are not adapting, and they have no tacit understanding, and they have not achieved the on-field performance required by Rogers.

For Rogers, he can only use different personnel rotations to allow the team to find a transition lineup that can cope with the game. After that, give the favorite players enough time to train and run in, and then pursue results in the second half of the league. it is good.

For Rogers, the good news is that Liverpool management has promised to give Rogers enough time to adjust the lineup.

I don't know if he believes in Rogers' strength, or if Liverpool management does not want to fire the coach after four rounds of the league, it is also slapped himself.

The handsome Rodgers can only bite the bullet and lead the misty Liverpool to face the weekend's Double Red Club.
