re: Liverpool FC 2013/2014 - Season Long Thread

There are arguments that our attacking mindset leaves the defense sort of stranded. Brendan throws his fullbacks (outside defensive players) forward into attack, and many games Gerrard is left by himself as the only defensive midfield player. While Suarez and Sturridge's attacking prowess have nothing to do with how well out center backs play, allowing both fullbacks, Henderson, Allen, Sterling and Coutunho to attack does leave Gerrard on an island in the midfield. It's why we played so poorly against Aston Villa and Fulham. Brendan was basically playing a 4-1-4 with attacking fullbacks.
