Or maybe just get in a few better players and try building a better balanced squad Bill.
That would obviously help mate. But given the current state of football, you can't bring in anybody new between September and January so it's a null point at the moment - unless we bring in a few more youngsters (which I'd be happy with because I don't think it's the youngsters who've let us down this year)
Whatever system is used you will have a much great chance of success if you have quality (or the right players ) rather than making do with a mishmash of a squad lacking quality or infact even lacking players for certain positions.
Of course it would mate and what's obvious is we don't have the right players to play this current system. If you're going to play like we do, you're gonna be caught on the counter. To counter the counter, you need pace to stop it. Lucas, Allen, Skrtel and Agger aren't quick enough to get across the ground as quickly as needed. At the other end, we have one player to pin our hopes of scoring goals on but if Suarez is missing and/or having an off day there's nothing else as Rodgers seems reluctant to give any of the young forwards a go.
The system should be there to get the best out of the players, not putting square pegs into round holes just so you can play a particular system .
I think this is the problem though mate. Rodgers has come with his idea of how football should be played and tried to get these players to play that system rather than a system that suits the players.
If we had Pele, Ronaldo, Villa and Rush I wouldn't be expecting us to be playing a system with one up front, similarly if you only have one decent striker why try to play as if you have three or four.
But like the point I've just made mate, I think if we did have Pele, Ronaldo, Villa and Rush we would still be playing one of them up front - possibly with one or two others still in the side. Rodgers' system is one up front and I don't think that would be likely to change any time soon even if we had four forwards to choose from.
