That’s fair Kit, but it’s also true that in a 4-2-3-1 you aren’t expecting the two central midfielders to be consistently surging into the box. Also, in that system, they are the two players where the good that they do offensively is least likely to be noticed, but if they make a mistake it can be lept on.

I only watched the highlights of this game
I think they don’t try killer pass / through pass enough, don’t you think so?
most of their passing are to the flanks, I would like to see if they are gd at passing through the middle.
I agree they are a good combination, but they look too defensive-minded. They seem not willing to do some gerrard-like rush into the box or try middle-range shooting. (I know it maybe due to tactical reasons)

Based solely on what I saw in this tie (I have seen the Academy games highlights on LFCTV but it’s not really enough): they are a good combination, one passing and one more defensive-minded. I thought tehy gave the ball away too much in the first 20 minutes or so but got into the game more and more. They didn’t really impose themselves, though, either in defence or attack.

Did you see the game? What did you think?

how do you feel about the pairing of Roberts and Coady?
