      It's the running option that is most important for me, and Shaqiri is a bit like Ox in that regard.
      Milner can do the defensive work high up and pick a pass, but he's not a particularly strong runner that breaks the lines.
      Shaqiri on the other hand is a powerful runner, but pretty bad defensively.
      Ox is a combination of good defense and strong running.
      Keita will be another option when he gets up to speed.

      It's the running from a deeper position that unsettles opposition defenses, and leaves gaps for the front 3 to exploit.

      Not even just about running, but that creative threat or potential to score from distance.
      Forces the other team to move up the pitch as a result and creates more space.
      Not something that happens when Milner-Hendo-Gini is the 3.

      Milner sits behind Robertson, Gini sits behind TAA and Henderson sits between or to the left of the 2 CB's.

      When we play with a runner, either Gomez or TAA stay deep.

      Klopp is all about getting bodies in the box, he's said it a number of times, and that's why the FB's are so attacking.

      Milner, Gini and Henderson aren't there to be creative primarily, they are there to cover for the FB's
      When we play with a runner to break the lines, the system changes slightly.

      Quote from The Real Donavan Ried
      We are not creating the chances, let alone scoring from many of them. We have players for what ever reason not firing at present. And yes I to mentioned that this would not be an easy game, and Yes we fielded a weaken side, but what if we were facing more capable opposition yes today, sides that were not struggling for form at present... Yes at full strength we may well have put 3 or more past them, but we too are struggling to find form, and with injuries to plays we will be extremely luck to go a full season with out sum major injuries not occurring to key players, and what we have as back up is struggling now, and lack game time...

      The three points is welcomed, but we need to get creative following  supply to the front three and bring in some real quality in the next window, and in the meantime pray we do not lose a key player to long term injury

      We've just blown 200 million quid on quality players, 50 million of it sitting on the bench scratching himself every week, because apparantly he "hasn't adapted" to our style yet, or aka "he isn't good enough". How much more real quality should we bring in?

      We're now winning the 1-0's people said we couldn't last year. And they were right, but they still complain about it now. When we blow teams away in 20 minutes, they say we can't do it every week. Now when we win 1-0, they say we can't do it every week. Wtf are we supposed to do? Jürgen said before Game 1 that winning the league was about winning 5 games 1-0 than 1 game 5-0. And he's right.

      We had to win at Huddersfield. The performance was poor, but I expected it to be difficult. First game after the break, couple of days prep, several injuries, no win in 4 games, away from home, opposition's cup final, busparking tactics,  etc. All the ingredients were in place for a king size fuc up, and this was apparently one of our "easier" games. We got the job done. We all want a bit more sure, but that's all we have to do right now, get the job done. Keep in touch with the leaders until the next break, then kick on after it, up to City away where the games come one after the other, and there are 25-30 points up for grabs.

      We're a team designed to get circa 90 points now. We're almost a third of the way there, and we're way ahead of where we were 12 months ago. It's depressing seeing City hockey teams every week, but they'll have to win games 1-0 down the line.

      The reverse fixture is in 6 months time. If we do our stuff before then, it could be a gift home banker for us at a time we really need it, or if we're really lucky, a fixture that allows us to finally reach the top of the mountain.

      When we play with a runner to break the lines, the system changes slightly.

      Which is why Gomez plays instead of TAA when the changes happen.
      Having someone like Ox back in the team though would be best of both worlds as Shaqiri hasn't the defensive attributes Ox had.

      That's the point... We are going for players that look good in lesser team, instead of player that are proven in better team...
      Utd,City,Chelsea mostly buy proven Quality from top teams, we still under the FSG edict for the most part of "Young players with potential and resalable value". Don't get me wrong there are some "Gems" out there waiting to be found, but having said that there are also players that are at clubs better than what we have but can't get regular game at them clubs... - Cesc Fabregas springs to mind (not a player that I particularly like). Yes he is getting on in age, but would vastly improve our midfield creativity wise. These are the types of quality players we should be looking at

Jürgen said before Game 1 that winning the league was about winning 5 games 1-0 than 1 game 5-0. And he's right.

      Yes I agree with that, but it is not like we are winning some of these game in second gear. We are truly struggling to win some of the games even at full strength, and it does not help that two of the front three are not firing, with noting come from midfield to aid them it's a worry especially when other teams are creating more chances than us those 1-0 wins could so easily become 1-0 loses

      Did not think that it would be an easy game myself, but expected to dominate the game, and we didn't...
      They didn't park the bus either. They took it to us and we struggled. Yes we did not field our best 11, but what we had should have still been more than good enough to dominate Huddersfield....

      How is Utd's proven player purchase policy working out then? ;-)

      Very well, along with City and Chelsea. The Fact that  the team is not playing well could be down to the manager, tatic or the wrong combination of players

      Yes, wrong combination, Milner is great when not playing alongside Henderson, Lallana for all the skill he has does not play well with Sturrigde and Shaqiri... Good team are a combination of different types of player, Great teams are a different combination types of Quality players

      Lukaku, Mata, Pogba, Matic, Sanchez porven all quality
