It's my first time posting, Made this account at least a month back but just hadn't had time to post. Been following this site for 4 years aswell yardy yardy yarda.

Anyway, LFC had a rubbishter today, sloppy performance, rubbish happens so we shouldn't dwell on it.
My main problem is not about this game since it happens even when we win, and I'm guessing you guys have also noticed it, WE GIVE OUR OPPOSITION SO MUCH SPACE JUST OUTSIDE OUR BOX.
It's shocking how we let the opponents just attack us outside our box while we just sit back and attempt to 'soak' up the pressure. Our midfielders just allow the opponents to pass it left to right around our box and give them so much space to let a shot be hit from 25 yards out. We've been lucky that not many players have had the long shots on target or testing Mignolet since the players who usually shot are not composed. However when the player is decent and composed e.g. Ramsey they can score with all that space given.
You may argue, 'why does it bother you since we barely concede from outside of the box?' well my argument is that we can't test our luck and hope that the opposition players miss a shot.
I'm no tactical professional football manager but I reckon it is fairly easy to stop the opponents from passing around us just outside our area, and that is to make our attackers press on the opposition midfielders while the defence marks up the attacks, we should aim to bring the ball out and set up on a counter attack instead of having 2 attackers that we hoof it to just after we survived a good 40 seconds of pressure.
I Also noticed that when we do decide to put a bit of pressure while the opponents just pass around our box due to all the space we allow them to have, its only lucas attempting to break down the play, I believe that we really should play 4-2-3-1 with to defensive mids covering the defence aswell as putting pressure on the oppositions midfield when we're under pressure, before you say Gerrard is the other player who does that, he doesn't. We really need to sign a proper centre defensive mid who has the engine of henderson but the defensive mind of lucas, we also need him to be a decent passer. I know some of you will think that I take a negative approach on the game much like Rafa's tactics with two defensive mids, but I reckon that is the only way we can actually win the ball back and have more successful counter attacks if we're struggling to dictate the tempo of the game. I reckon in January our main priority should be to buy a DM and a Winger.

Sorry for the long read, if you disagree with my opinion, cool. I just want the best for Liverpool and am not bashing The team in any way.

Thank you, YNWA
