Confirmed Jusef Erabi | Signs on loan (with option)

[Duncan Iceglide]

One common denominator in that list. They all played over 30 years ago. Game has changed. How many pairings can you name in football now, or even in the last 5 years?

Maybe we should go back to it 🤷🏼‍♂️at times yesterday it was fucking awful.

Pretty good to be fair, although the Real Thing aren't my thing.

They were just about the only Merseyside group not played on the tannoy yesterday.

Could see a world where Erabi is the main striker. Back to goal and hold up play looks great and has some pace. Just looks a pain in the arse for defenders all round.

Thomas Brazil
Saville Wilkinson
Bull Mutch
Keegan Toshack
Shearer Sutton
Dalglish Rush

It does work.

Beardsley Lineker

Supported by 2 quick wide players with Erabi dropping deeper back to goal.

Quite like this one someone posted yesterday

The second verse doesn’t scan at all. Whoever wrote that clearly didn’t try to sing it.

Great cameo yesterday.

His highlights YouTube package looked promising regards hold up play.

Physically, he looks strong but it is his speed / pace that excites me of his attributes.

A lovely sneaky goal yesterday.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Not a fan of playing with two out and out strikers because there’s no link with the midfield

Also leaves us with nothing to bring on

I guess that Saville / Wilkinson, Fuller / Healy. Macken / Cresswell you never viewed, as just a few examples.

Garner / Beckford then?

Of course we can play with a two.

Don't fall for the pseudo footballing tactical politics.

You’ll soon find that pace isn’t a particularly strong attribute for him. He’s a very intense runner, but his top speed is pretty average.

Then you've been blinded by propaganda.

The only tactic consistent since Day One in the 1880s is the Goalkeeper.

I'm not necessarily agaisnt it, I'm just saying the game has changed and we don't see strike pairings anymore.

Doesn't make a strike pairing wrong though.

Trends eventually buck.

Let ourselves buck this negative trend, yeah?

CIlla Black, Ken Dodd, and Echo And The Bunnyman were also off the playlist. There was only Keane, I heard, that weren't from Liverpool.

Maybe we should.

Starting on Saturday.

Even with many of the great forward partnerships, there was almost always one of them who played further forward with the other being more of a support to him - I suppose in modern terminology a 10. Dalglish would float around Rush, Keegan around Toshack, Heath around Gray, Beardsley around Lineker.

Even if that wasn’t the case and that sort of partnership, what’s to say they couldn’t come back? They probably won’t but thinking in football changes constantly otherwise we’d all be playing 2-3-5 still.

Dont know what Keane were doing on there, especially as they missed off the legendary Pete Wylie to complete The Crucial Three. 🙌🏻🤓

"Better the owners you know"?

Not implying the Hemmings are devils, but was too tempting.

Agreed

In my mind the Nogan/Macken partnership varied things slightly though. I feel like there were a lot of balls in towards the chest of Macken (essentially 10) rather than the head of Nogan (9). The ball would then usually go to the nearest winger. Normally it was about 9 flicking to 10 (old numbers). My memory tells me Moyes liked Macken to bring in the wingers more and then Nogan to be on the end of the crosses.

I do not like the new systems. Watching Manchester City in person was depressing. If they cannot be inspirational with their resource then what hope for the rest?
