New tactics? Well Roy has said himself he wants to return to The Liverpool Way of playing. That is a four four two system. I know that may be alien to some on here considering the way football has fu**ed about with modern day bollocks of changing a simple game to something much more complicated with dodgy phrases that mean nothing.
The basics of a four four two are such
One goalkeeper
One right back
Two centre halves
One left back
One right winger
Two central midfielders
One left winger
Two centre forwards
Now, again that may be far too difficult for people to grasp in this modern game where you need a "second striker" or a "deep lying playmaking midfielder" or a "defensive midfielder" but for those with a traditional sense of football, like me, four four two in it's proper form makes perfect F***ing sense.
So going from that, I suspect the side will look something along these lines
GK - Reina
RB - Johnson
CB - Carragher
CB - Skrtel
LB - Agger
RM - Maxi
CM - Gerrard
CM - Aquilani
LM - Jovanovich
CF - Torres
CF - Kuyt
That, on paper (or this case the internet) isn't actually too shabby. Obviously in some areas we'd rather have a little bit better, but if we can keep that starting XI fit we've got a decent platform on which to build. That's not taking into account the likes of Masch, Lucas, Babel, Riera, Ngog, Kyrgiakos who may not be world class (or even standard class in Riera's case) but as squad players we probably could do worse.
We've also got the likes of Kelly, Spearing, Pacheco, Darby, Shelvey to come in an add a bit of youth and hunger to the squad.
