Prowler 197 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 433? Odd. Liverpool are playing a 4-3-3 seems to be working for them :) Odd for us considering we have pretty much played 4231 since Karanka arrived. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 433? Odd. Liverpool are playing a 4-3-3 seems to be working for them :) Odd for us considering we have pretty much played 4231 since Karanka arrived. I was thinking that but I suppose karanka think its important to win the battle in central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Got a bad feeling that it's 4231 and Leadbitter in in the hole :( Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,818 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is adomah carrying a knock or is it tactical? I do think we miss him when he doesn't play. Maybe we're doing a forest and playing chalobah a bit further forward?! Although it doesn't sound like he was ever very effective there. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,176 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 @Ollie.........sorry mate no links today will just have to wait for Anglianred to do his usual up to date reports Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Got a bad feeling that it's 4231 and Leadbitter in in the hole :( I think you're right with this. Karanker obviously thinks Whitehead & Chalobah are safe enough in front of the back 4. Leaving Leadbitter free to get a bit further forward Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah sounds like leadbitter could be playing more up Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,176 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not overly worried because we have seen that on his day GL can play avery effective game it's just that this has to be one of them!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Woodgate has the experience that none of his other team mates have got? Err... Given? :s Link to post Share on other sites

Prowler 197 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Leadbitter is in no way an attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Considering leadbitter has made the most assists in the team I don't think it's necessary a bad idea to play him a bit further up the pitch, but I don't think he'll be playing as a traditional AMC or deep forward. Just a bit more free to roam forward and not worry so much about the defensive aspects. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Leadbitter is in no way an attacking midfielder. I agree he's a classic box to box mid. However he does like a long shot and with today's conditions the ball may move enough to cause the keeper problems Link to post Share on other sites
