Judging by the article RLB posted, a quote on the derby last week:
This match was not lost on accounts of lack of passion or any of that nonsense, it’s just simply that Liverpool were hindered by Roy Hodgson’s overly defensive and negative system that has continually negated the attacking talents of this Liverpool side.
I've stated before that the attacking players ( and especially the ones surrounding the central midfielders ) have been suffering from the negative tactics Roy has employed. Their flair and creativity are slowly being killed by it.
The team sits to far back and more passes are tended to be played in our own half. Our attacking players hardly see enough action to even do anything.
Against any oppositions, we need to press high and force them to do mistakes in their own half, regardless if it's home or away. A win is what we need now and then a run of wins is what we'll need.
