yesterdays starting line up was shocking from a pace angle,no creativity centrally and no pace out wide,if Wilson thinks herd and liddle works in a central midfield 4 whether its a diamond or a flat 4 he is wrong,if he is to do that we have to either get in an attacking midfielder so liddle can sit or play oshea infront of him to supply the front 2,playing herd at present is no good he might as well stick a big traffic cone in the centre circle.
Yes I agree with that mate, I thought first half Liddle was trying too hard to impress, he popped up all over the pitch but never really did anything, second half I thought he settled down and played more of his natural game.
Without Morsy we have nobody driving the midfield forward and if we are going to go with herd and Liddle we desperately need wingers, people whose preferred position is out wide, I'm sorry to say this means no Talbot (another poor game for him yesterday) an no O'Shea the only way I can see us accommodating him at the moment is to play him behind one central striker, if our midfield four was Liddle, O'Shea, Gardner and Ariyibi we would get murdered every week.
But looking at the depth of our strikers maybe playing just one of them is a good thing.
If you do what you always do, you'll get what you always get.
