Hagi

Agree with the OP here. Changing the formation yesterday helped us a fair bit.
Gerrard needs to learn to adapt. (It’s his big major failing)

Look at the tactical and formation change that TLRB done yesterday to change a game.
 
It is an abomination that this kid has been the only positive thing about our team since New Year’s Day.

The rest should be ashamed of themselves that they have needed a loanee, who has hardly got his feet under the table, to rescue us from further dropped points twice at home now.

Will cut Arfield some slack but Aribo, Kent, Morelos among others should be looking at Hagi and be embarrassed by how much he is showing them up.
Morelos should have had 3 in 2 mate , Aribo and Kent yes .
 
Really like his style. Reads the game very well and doesn't mess about. He's our 'killer pass' type we've been looking for, to open teams up. He'll do in one pass something that would take us three or four. Very direct and unpredictable.
 
What an assist, a pure Number 10 but punting him wide is pointless.

Beale can go on Twitter all he likes and say we play with two 10’s but we all have eyes. His starting positions are often from wide. He has to come from wide-to-in.

Play him as a 10. Centrally.

Stop being so wedded to the formation.

You’ll get folk on here and on Twitter calling you ‘Pep’ or telling you to get back to Football Manager, but you’re spot on.

Hagi’s been told to hug the touchline, he was taking up Candeias’ position against Killie.

An utter, utter waste and just an indication that the coaching team are married to this formation regardless of personnel.

Very concerning.
 
Just like others are allowed to call out those opinions as nonsense.

We’ve not played with two 10s in the last two games.

Anyone with working eyes - presumably that includes you - should be able to see that.

Nobody on here is as qualified as Beale, but people with eyes can see the difference between a winger and a 10.
 
Despite being played out of his best position, I think he’s adapted to the worst Scottish football has to throw at him really quickly.

2 horrendous plastic pitches, 2 of the worst teams for fouling & spoiling the game and some horrendous playing conditions.

Looking forward to seeing him in European action!

Hopefully we will see the management team adapt, perhaps to a 4231 in some games where we can take the hinges off the midfield. Klopp likes a constant 3 in midfield and maybe that is required for the premier league, but maybe Gerrard needs to go more attacking set up to unlock teams

That’s not strictly true is it? They don’t play as out and out wingers or both our full backs yesterday wouldn’t have had the acres of space to run in to that they had.
Both Kent and Hagi start either side of Morelos but slightly deeper which allows them the freedom to use both the wider areas and also more centrally when the space opens up.

Should play just behind Morelos, in a 4-4-1-1
 
It would'nt surprise me if at the end of the season Hagi says no thanks,I want to go somewhere they actually play football.
 
Looks a serious prospect. Really impressed with the ease at which he can turn the opposition and definitely has a football brain about him.
He's scored a great goal and had a terrific assist yesterday.
Really promising!
