Chapter 193 West Bromwich's Tactics
The next day, before the fifth round of the Premier League at Anfield, media reporters got the starting list of both sides. Among them, Liverpool's starting list surprised many people. Among them, the most noticeable are three Spanish players and Pongle's starting list---
The goalkeeper: Dudock;
Defenders: Josemi, Carrag, Haipia, Riese;
Avant-garde: Louis. Garcia, Alonso, Gerrard, Salif. Dior;
Leaer: Pangler, Jack. Li;
Compared with the previous starting list, Liverpool's starting list today is indeed very different. First of all, three Spanish players Josemi, Alonso and Garcia started at the same time. More coincidentally, these three are still on the same road, that is to say, Liverpool's left side is completely handed over to the Spaniards.
Compared with this, the starter of young player Pangler is nothing. Pangler has always been a star dedicated to Liverpool's training. Since joining Liverpool, he has not had any chance. He still has his strength, but his experience is slightly lacking in the game, and he was not surprised when he started against West Bromwich Albion. Strange.
And the right forward is not Cowell or Fennan, but becomes Sarif. Dior, this is thought-provoking, but many Liverpool media do not know what is wrong with the club, because many fans have seen Liverpool's match yesterday afternoon. They think that it is because Liverpool is affected by international events, and some players in the team are not in good shape.
This speculation is already inseparable.
In fact, Cowell's strength is there. Although there are many players in the team who are dissatisfied with his performance, it is just a simple dissatisfaction. In the heart, everyone knows that even if Cowell does not perform well, he is better than other substitute players in this position. This is strength.
Benitez is considering letting Cowell take a break and accumulate physical energy and state for the next first Champions League group match.
In the main lineup, only Cowell has this problem. Players in other positions can find a suitable replacement. First of all, the frontline Benitez is not worried. The team's black-haired boy's physical fitness is simply more fierce than that of Gerrard, and he has not participated in any international team games. There is no problem at all. There are three people in the other position: Barrosh, Cisse and Pangler, and there will be no shortage of players at all. In the midfield, Gerrard is known as Liverpool's 'unless soul'. The physical condition is really nothing. There is Gerrard in the middle, and Carragher can barely hold it, plus Risse and Finn. Nan and others don't have to worry about the situation that no one is available at all. The important thing is the two sides.
So, Benitez put Cowell on the bench.
And West Bromwich Albion's starting line-up has not changed. They are still the traditional four-four-two. The two-person combination of the front line is still Kanu and Hosfield, forwards Haas, Cumas, Clement and Grinning. The defender line is Private Card, Bos, Albrecht and Robinson from left to right, and goalkeeper Huo. Erte.
Such a starting lineup is almost no different from the last game. It can also be seen from here that the international match day has little impact on West Bromwich Albion, which is also a benefit of small clubs. Most of their players are not members of the national team.

Under the whistle of referee Dunn, the game finally began.
Before the start of the game, Benitez had already formulated the tactics. What Liverpool players need to pay attention to is to keep a little behind the center line. After studying for so long, Benitez knows West Bromwich Albion's counterattack tactics very well. As long as he is stuck at the back of the center line, then Sibu Romwich's counterattack will definitely be stopped for a period of time, which is enough time for Liverpool players to return to defense.
So, what do you need to do at home in Liverpool?
Attack, only attack!
In the face of a promoted team and the game at Anfield Stadium, Benitez wants the team to be stable, but the fans can't explain that they need a big victory through the thorns and a smooth way, not a steady victory, which is completely useless.
In the face of Liverpool's aggressive attack, West Bromwich Albion did not have any cowardice.
In fact, although they are promoted, many players are not the first time to participate in the Premier League. They just returned to the Premier League after a year of relegation. Many players in the team have been in the team for several years, and in the first few rounds, they met Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, especially Tottenham. In that game, the opponent's offensive firepower was more powerful than that of Liverpool, which could almost be described as continuous, but West Bromwich Albion still won the draw.
So, at least now they are not in a panic. Under the command of captain Greening, West Bromwich Albion's formation is well maintained. Although Liverpool's attack is very fierce, in the face of such a defense, it is also difficult to say for a while.
Seeing this situation, West Bromwich Albion's head coach McGosen laughed.
Last season, West Bromwich Albion got a promotion place in the Championship, which is not surprising. Compared with the team in the Championship, West Bromwich Albion's strength is still top, but due to the club's own financial problems, Magerson does not have much transfer fee. After introducing some necessary players The club's requirement for Magerson is to stay in the first place.
relegation.
This goal looks really small. There are a total of 20 teams in the Premier League. As long as they enter the top 17 places, not the last three of the relegation. But in fact, for a club like West Bromwich Albion, this goal is still difficult. The team must strive for the necessary points and play against strong teams. You should also win as much as possible.
In the first four rounds of the game, Magerson was just an experimental tactic. He felt that there should be a fixed style of play to increase the team's competitiveness, and the defensive counterattack 'sneak attack' tactics became a choice. With experienced Kanu on the front line, the team's tactics have achieved good results.
And now, we have to go to the small club to compete in stages.
In the face of Liverpool's opponent, Magerson still has some pressure. He can completely give up the game when he thinks it is necessary. After all, the strength gap between the two teams is too big. But at the beginning of the game, Magerson saw Liverpool's fatigue, yes, fatigue, which is easy to find, that is, Liverpool made a lot of mistakes, and occasionally there were some problems with the cooperation. Under his own stable defense, at least Liverpool did not get much chance in the first five minutes.
Magson is a little happy and happy. Does he think this game can be a surprise?
If you can get a three-pointer in this game, no, just one point, it will be very helpful for West Bromwich Albion's future relegation. It is a great victory to score a team like Liverpool and get a point.
At this time, Magson turned his head and looked at the Liverpool coach's seat. He wanted to see the Spaniard's expression. He thought that the guy would be in a hurry. As a result, he saw Benitez crossed his legs and eating gum. It felt as if everything in the game was floating clouds.
"Pretancy?" He had never been an opponent with Benitez, and Maguson comforted him as if he pretended to be.
But what he didn't expect was that Liverpool's strength was not good all day long, but the state of some players was not affected at all. On the contrary, because the holiday life was too idle, there was a kind of vent on the court. The feeling of energy is very refreshing... For example, Don Jack.
Soon, McGerson discovered this problem.
In this game, Don Jack started as a striker. In terms of formation, he is in parallel with Pangler, but in fact, everyone knows his positioning. He is completely an offensive forward. In fact, he is slightly behind the position of the frontline player. He is not a pure shadow striker, but more like a Front waist, pure shooter-style front waist. Think about it, Benitez is going to use his long-range shot to threaten the opponent's goal.
Maguson also noticed Don Jack before the game, but as a small club, they don't have the ability to defend against every opponent's good player, because if they do this, almost every player in Liverpool needs to focus on defense... They don't have more players than Liverpool.
So, everything depends only on God's will.
So, God's will came. After the game began, Don Jack has been running. Speaking of which, without the game for a week, Don Jack felt that his body was a little rusty. He was very happy to run more to find the feeling of the game. So many fans on the scene found that the title of the team's midfielder Gerrard was about to be transferred - this brunette boy really can't run away!
Ten minutes in a row, they seem to have not seen this guy stop. Although this guy's running position is really poor and many runs are meaningless, despite this, such continuous running still makes West Bromwich Albion's formation a little messy. Many times, Don Jack did not notice his He ran to the best position. If it hadn't been for the fact that many Liverpool players were out of shape, he would have had a good chance.
Soon, all the Liverpool players also noticed.
Therefore, the players who knew that they were out of state put their hopes on Don Jack. This brunette boy was simply a goal machine. He may score a goal if he passed more.
Everyone thinks so, so Don Jack's chances have increased a lot, but if you want to score, it depends on the chance.
