I...Very good analysis on the tactical substitution. It was maybe the most confusing moment of any liverpool match for me so far, and you're analysis helps. To be honest though, I still don't fully comprehend it. <br /><br />At the point when Suso was subbed off, it was confusing as he seemed to me our best player. I also didn't "feel" he was causing the midfield to be overrun. And I see here how the stats improved, but I still don't "remember" the midfield improving when watching the game.<br /><br />That said, something improved for sure. And I'm glad for the switch.<br /><br />I think you're definitely right that something about Henderson on improved the other two players in the triangle...but I'm still not sure how it made us attack or link better. Did Henderson come on and take Allen's role -- I don't remember that? Or did him coming on change all 3 roles altogether? Or was it happenstance, Wigan's gift being the trigger point. I almost want to ask myself, what if Henderson had come on for Gerrard (better or worse?).<br /><br />At any rate, something very interesting happened, and I think it speaks to the transformational promise of having Lucas back. If Henderson can come on and make us better at defense & attack at the same time, than surely Lucas can enhance the midfield to an even greater extent -- if healthy.<br /><br />For what its worth, I also feel like Suso, central rather than wide, is better. Tough to fit all these exciting players in.Sethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-14324954194760153632012-11-19T13:33:03.182-05:002012-11-19T13:33:03.182-05:00Beautiful sights, those graphics.
