CoachReilly 688 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 it's all but formal at this point that Benteke is going to Liverpool. I wouldn't call him a nobody. Liverpool, by most accounts, has had a very effective off-season. Ibe Benteke Firminho Coutinho Henderson Milner Alberto Moreno Sakho/Lovren Skrtel Clyne Mignolet with Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Markovic, Divock Origi, Ings, Gomez, Joe Allen and Sturridge when he's fully fit. Call me crazy, but I like it. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1969-general-football-discussion/page/24/#findComment-244454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks. 58 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Coach, this is real life, not FIFA 14. You're gonna love Milner though. He's the real deal. Would be better off playing in a CM role. I think more like: ------------- Benteke ----- Sturridge ------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Lallana - Henderson --- Milner ----- Coutinho -------------------------------------------------------- Moreno ----- Lovren ------ Skrtel ------- Clyne -------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Mignolet ---------------------- If you play a free-form 4-4-2 and let Coutinho and Lallana make free runs while Henderson and Milner monitor the center and wings (where they both have experience) you can get pretty great cutting runs. This way Milner can also get out wide and swap with Coutinho during live play to put in a cross to the far post for Benteke.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Someone want to give us a midfielder? I've seen Kross, Schweinsteiger, Can, Tymoshchuk, Shaqiri and Gustavo walk out the door for Pep's "Brilliant plan".

I've seen Kross, Schweinsteiger, Can, Tymoshchuk, Shaqiri and Gustavo walk out the door for Pep's "Brilliant plan". Can isn't much to stress about. Schweinsteiger is injured more than not. Shaqiri was never going to stay. And like Victor says, you're getting Vidal. He seems like he has attitude issues though. And his haircuts make me very mad for some reason.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's the attitude I'm not cool with. We have one of the best leaders leave the club in Bastain and replace him with Vidal. He'll be gone next summer. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1969-general-football-discussion/page/24/#findComment-244478 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chileans are normally pretty mellow people I thought. Maybe he was fed up with the ultra defensive style of play. He is defensive but maybe it was too defensive for him.

Not every league plays the same amount of games. So most goals scored is a really bad stat to support that argument.

Admin Victor 10,943 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted July 16, 2015 So by calling Serie A overly defensive, you are suggesting the Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue 1 are well, I don't even know.

Nobody watches soccer for the "most goals" anyway. If they cared about that they'd watch basketball instead.

Once again it was a stereotype given through sarcastic banter. In the last five years it is the least scoring per game of all the major leagues, so call it an awkward thing to say but it's not at all false.

Victor seems to take a little to heart though. I don't watch Serie A anymore because growing up it was the least exciting. You can't argue against the fact that Goals = Exciting.
