pete 2,499 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Katic was brilliant again on Sunday. He is a far better defender than Goldson and far better at playing the ball out of defence. Gerrard was pig-headed last season in not playing Katic, I hope he doesen't make the same mistake twice. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Katic is also a real threat in the box. I know Goldson has scored twice already but Katic is the defender I wouldn't want to see in my box if I was an opposition player. Is Mayo a CB or a full-back? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katic and Goldson are striving to become the new Hately and McCoist by the way they have started the season ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he say 3-5-2 specifically, or merely back-three? If it's the latter, I think he'd want to keep that narrow front three. McGregor Goldson - Katic - Helander Tavernier - Kamara - Aribo - Barasic Arfield - Ojo Morelos Merely "back three" is what he said. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem might be keeping the four CBs happy - I doubt any of them want to sit on the bench most weeks. For a midfield five, I'd go: Tav Kamara Barisic Arfield Aribo With Ojo playing just off Morelos or Defoe. For me, right now, a space MUST be found for Davis. Yesterday it was abundantly clear what a fully fit, proper pre-season, Steven Davis can provide to us - was everywhere and created angles and spaces the whole time he was on the pitch. Thought he was outstanding yesterday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 At this stage I doubt even Gerrard knows what his first 11 will be. Such depth to the squad which we haven’t had in sometime time may even mean a fluid first 11. Horses for courses approach. There are some who will always start. McGregor and Tav as examples. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
