Xavi was a step ahead almost all players when it comes to tactical play and his tactical breakdown in interviews were always a delight.

I just had to bring this post back for people to understand my expectation for Rodgers. I knew there was a big chance for his bias to affect Nacho's playing time. I just hoped a bit of fairness. However, it seems he is bent on his bias route. Embarrassed himself today. Thought he has set up the stage for another Vardy show.

My advice to Nacho's managers. Hit Real Betis Big time. Secure a loan for Nacho to Betis it Pellegrini will want to take him. Even if it means a reduction in pay.

And Gerrard wasn't tactical enough in his playing days ?

Danielnino00:


Roy Hodgson came in and messed up some of Bentitez good works at the club...
Now we have Klopp..

It seems like you started supporting Liverpool around the time Klopp came in...I have no problem with that of course,but normally,fans should get used to all sort of things ..both success and failure..

Man utd enjoyed many years of success under Ferguson but had to endure a lot of things after he left... Arsenal fans are in that position too.
Real Madrid were in that position before..
AC Milan are in there too .
Barca looks like they may go that route too.

It's al normal..

Who else gives away possession in avalenche the way Nacho does, who else gets entangled with the ball, who else finds it difficult to bring the ball under control or beat his marker?

Bro, Nacho is becoming really terrible

Tell Daniel your guy ,I just Dey look am we he is just deceiving him self

Steven Gerrard might not even become half the coach Rodgers was

Dude I have been supporting Liverpool since 2004/ 2005....I k ow what it means to wallow in defeat after defeat. I know what it is to win just 3 home games all season.....don't tell me about loyalty. You're preaching to the choir. You like acting like you're the only loyal Liverpool fan around when others don't share your views.

How am I sure you didn't even supporting Liverpool two years ago...

TheGoodJoe:


Gérard can not scratch a grey matter in Xavi's brain. Xavi is the past, present and future of football. Gérard is the past.

Better players than Xavi have gone into football coaching and didn't succed.

Being a great player doesn't guarantee being a great coach..
Aside Zidane,I can hardly mention any great manager today that was once a great footballer!

So were Thierry Henry and Micah Richards, elite pundits. All pundits think they are great coaches till when relegated Cambridge United beat you 4-1 and you start getting death threats from fans.

TheGoodJoe:
Contrary to most belief, I see Zidane succeeding. He spent time with the junior team of Madrid mastering his craft. He ran some programs in Germany with Guardiola to sharpen his understanding of possession football.

He gained a lot from coaches refining his game and played a part in the development of young bright talents like Sarabia, Morata, Jese, Carvajal.

I think Zidane is the right coach for the job but I feel Benitez deserved more time.

TheLoneCitizen:


Napoli have nothing to play for here except bragging rights, finishing spot (they can't catch fourth) and team morale.
They won the Coppa Italia which gives them a guaranteed Europa League spot.

You started supporting Liverpool in 2005/2006, but you couldn't remember who signed Firmino

There is a difference between playing the game and controlling the game. Those who controlled the game with intelligence and understanding have a better chance.

Look at my comment on Zidane when he took over Real Madrid.

Ancelotti and Rijkaard were brilliant footballers. Pazarella was also brilliant. Mario Zagallo was also very brilliant. Johan Cruyff was a footballing genius. Bobby Robson was a sound footballer too.

Danielnino00:


Marandona,Gary Neville,Henry,Shearer,Tony Adams, Marco Van Basten,Seedorf,Bobby Charlton they were brilliant footballers but failed at coaching...

Has Xavi even done anything spectacular at Qatar yet?

In that list, how many controlled the game tactically and I do not count Van Basten a failure. I don't know why he did not continue but his Dutch Euro side was one of the best I ever watched. Abramovic made a big mistake turning him down.

At the end, it is not about great technical talent but tactical knowhow.

You do have a point, though.

But are you expecting the whole Barcelona midfield (past and present) to inevitably turn prime Mourinho as managers, since thy are all deft at dictating tempo?

TheSuperNerd:
Fourth spot is way out of their reach. The confirmed Top 4 will be Juve, Atalanta, Inter and Lazio in no particular order (ofcos I expect Juve will be Champs eventually).

Coppa Italia title has taken them into the Europa? But 5th and 6th in Serie A are also guaranteed Europa spots. Didn't even think of the Coppa Italia title.

Napoli playing 2-2 now anyway. Milan had a penalty. They create chances aplenty and attack so well. Finishing up chances is their bane. I admit they have been so good and consistent since the restart. Their only blip was the loss to Atalanta and even that game saw them lose b'cos they couldn't take their numerous chances. Plus Atalanta are ruthless with their own chances.
