Right, the season's drawing to a close and we've all seen how we have done this season. Post any changes you would make to the squad (realistic changes) in terms of tactics and players you would like to see come in / leave the club.
Here are mine:
Bring in Stevie Warnock, Niel Mellor, Ritchie Partridge, maybee John Miles, and let them have a few first team games. Obviousley not make them permanent starters, too young for that, just gradually bring them in like what we done with stevie wright.
Sign Anelka, we have first dabs on him, and with the form he's in, if we don't snap him up i can see another premiership side signing him, and that can only be bad for us.
Buy overmars, he'd be good for right wing. Riise is doing great at left wing, it's right wing that is the problem. Murphy don't have enough good games for me. Don't sell him yet though, he's only young, 25 i think. Don't throw him out of the first team altogether, i just think he's too young to be playing right wing week in week out, but overmars proved that he can do it, also good attacking player is overmars.
Give Milan Barros a few games, he looked good when he came on against barca, few good runs.
Play 3 stirkers every game, probably between Heskey, Owen, Anelka (if we sign him), Litmanen, and Milan Barros when one of them is injured. But don't play like a solid 3 up front, play the formation like against newcastle the other night, with owen & anelka (or barros when one is injured) right up, and heskey or litmanen dropping back, sitting in, playing as a provider.
(Maybe) Buy a new striker to fit in with the above, with those 3 playing week in week out, their bound to get tired/injured.
Buy a new central midfielder. Gerrard is injured alot and hamman is banned alot, so someone to step in when either of them is out will be good. Preferably an attacking player too.
Sell redknapp, smicer, berger, Barmby.
Overall, that is Selling 4 players, Buying 4 players including the Striker which i am unsure about whether we need another or not, we need another consistent goalscorer like owen, if anelka can provide that, then fine, but if not, another striker.
At home, when teams come to defend, just be patient and attack, and it'll come, but don't sit back too much.
Away, play the way we play best, defending and then counter attacking. Most teams don't defend as much at home, so we'll have more success.
Keep priority ticket system, Cause it's really the only chance out of towners like me have to get tickets. Someone who buys a PTS is looking to go to quite a lot of games, and there is no problem with that, thats what i do. The problem is, the locals are being kept out by people who go up for one game a season. PTS members aint at fault, because they wouldn't buy a PTS membership if they were only going to one game.
Keep a set number of tickets for PTS members, a set number for credit card/postal, and a set number for Ticket office collections (where oyou have to go to the ground and buy them). Preferably equal numbers for each. This way, locals won't be locked out, but Out of towners who regularly go to games won't be either.
Lastly, start drawing up plans to expand anfield. This would let more people in, but it would also be better than moving to a new ground. Anfield has a history, and that should be kept, a bigger capacity = expanding anfield, not moving to a new ground.
