This was one of my favourite threads, really enjoyed reading this. I was kinda hoping there would be some updated thoughts on the system, and how we seem to playing together.
From my very untrained eye, it seems we have segments of the team, think of it as 3 or 4 mini teams doing a specific thing.... that is Suarez and Sturridge up top pressing together and then moving around using only each other as a reference point. Then we have the midfield, generally Lucas and Gerrard as a unit, winning the ball and looking to move the ball on to the attacking unit. Lastly the defensive unit, whether it is a back 3, or the back 4 we're using now. Their main job is zonal marking, winning the ball and moving it to the midfield unit. Of course, you might've noticed that I missed a couple, those I'd call the interconnectors, the wingbacks/RB,LB are used to move the ball up the field and assist the midfield unit, and the third midfielder (Coutinho) used to link midfield and attack.
What I'm getting at, is that instead of the whole team moving around in response to each other and connecting, it seems more that each mini team does it's job and relies on a couple interconnectors to move it up the chain, until we get to the attacking unit, who to this point at least, are scoring/creating through their brilliance and innovation as opposed to anything the midfield has offered (barring a couple goals here and there, gerrard to suarez at fulham comes to mind).
I could also be very wrong, but atm not seeing the signs that we really are playing as a cohesive unit with all players involved in attack/defense. Or maybe what I described is that exactly... I'll let you more experienced guys fill me in!
