CAPITAL ONE CUP: WHEN FORMATION GOES WRONG

MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 LIVERPOOL
Suarez should be put on the position he familiar (if you're familiar too with this scene), not like today
Liverpool relegated from Capital One Cup after lost 1-0 to Manchester United today. Tactics gone wrong from Brendan Rodgers, by changing from 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-2, in order to accommodate Luis Suarez, whom back from 10-game ban.


Actual formation Liverpool vs MUFC today

The concept is just like, "Everything Isn't In It's Right Place", the midfielders cannot dominate the possession just like expected with 5 midfielders, and by 3 defenders behind, Henderson and Enrique are not doing so good in closing down Nani and Kagawa, leave Sakho, Skrtel and Toure to hold the stronghold than normal. It isn't free-flow football anymore.

Putting Suarez and Sturridge in pair, I don't is it the incompatible way, in-tuning way, but since Capital One is a deathmatch, I don't think it's time for experiment to pair strikers. Losing Coutinho due to injury, really affecting creative burden, being distributed among the current midfielders, whom are no proven for playmaking. By my idea is, how to accommodate Suarez in current standard formation is as follows:-



No risk of experimentation, unclear prediction, as Suarez are very familiar with left-cut-inside attacker, just the risk from this formation, creativity contribution and passing distribution from Henderson from middle of the park. The whole team familiar with the systems, knowing how will do with Suarez on left flank, but actual formation, everything isn't in it's right place. A small mistake, error and loose marking from corner costed Liverpool today. Chicarito, optimist and opportunist, grab and never let go the chance once it has been in his hand. We're in shit while we are in tactically and strategically wrong.
