I don’t “think” we’re going to improve defensively BS, I hope that we will.
Going 3 at the back (or 5 however you look at it) was a step to make us harder to play through and protected the lack of pace we possess at centre back whilst covering Maguire’s defensive limitations.
So a good start.
I’m not saying Rodgers is going to have a defence first focus, I just hope he can improve that situation. One way to do this is to improve our cohesion between defence and attack, and actually fix the forward line to we ask more questions of the opposition. At the minute it’s easy to play against us defensively which lets other teams dictate the tempo. We need to do that more and this is what I hope Rodgers can bring.
I don’t think he’s some sort of defensive manager. I don’t know how I gave you that view. I just hope that his methods enable us to have more balance across the field, and that includes the defence.
Things like not playing a high line with Morgan would be a start.
