All Jürgen's tactics really do is let you see the player we have got. Sure you could say it 'exposes him' but doesn't that truly translate to allowing you to see what Lovren does when the sh*t really hits the fan? He panics, he's a bag of nerves and makes terrible decisions which compounds his mistakes.
These are the things that I believe we can learn when our midfielders decide to put in a shift of half-arsed effort. Similarly with Henderson, did he come to life because more was demanded of him in Gini's/Can's absence or did it really just highlight how far from a true 6 Henderson is?
I'd hope on the back of these performances that Jürgen is redoubling his efforts in the transfer market, because in LCB and CM he's targeting the right positions and right players imo, but if you can't get them at least get the players we can move to the bench next season when we maybe get Keita/VvD!
Mate, I think the likes of Henderson, Gini Milner are at their optimum level when playing well, the trouble is it's not often nor consistent enough,
Simply put if we are to move on a level and compete with City, Chavs, Munts and those in Europe we need to sign better higher quality players,
By not signing Naby amongst others this window has imo set us back a season, plus we could be losing Coutinho too,
This was 'the' window where additions would have taken us forward and allow us to compete in the two main comps , a league title and a right go in the CL,
We can forget all that now and might have to settle with a top 5/6 and the dreaded europa sh*t.....
.....thanks FSG...great ambition!!
