Liverpool Squad and the "Rule of Thirds"
« on: April 7, 2015, 04:23:08 PM »
So just as an interesting little flight of fancy (and to lighten the mood after the weekend!), and to see what people think of the squad and the players we have in it, here's a little game, of sorts.
The game is simple. The pitch is divided into 9 zones - Left, Central and Right channels, and then Forward, Midfield and Defence lines. The task is to put the players in our 25 man squad (minus the keepers, who have a set position) into the areas of the field you think they are naturally best at, or where you think they'd be most effective, etc. There are a few rules though:
1) Players can't be named more than once. Even though we have players who play multiple positions, they can only be placed in one zone - for example, Can can play in either central midfield, or central defence. But he can't be placed in both
2) Formations don't come into it. It's just the area of the field you think a player would be at their strongest, or best placed for the team (there is no zone for goalkeepers, because goalkeepers are always in the same zone)![]()
3) Feel free to debate the merits of each posters choices, but bear in mind that every poster will have a different perspective. Hopefully that's where we'll get some good discussion from. There is no "right answer".
4) Disregard whether players are leaving. We're talking about where players might play on the field now, although I'm sure there might be scope to discuss what a player's departure might mean for that zone of the field
To help, there is attached an image of a 9-zone grid. If you copy the image to your computer, you can write in your names into each zone, and then upload it via Imgur or something and post the link for all to see.
If you don't want to do that, then here is a text diagram of the zones. I'm using notepad and the "code" function to get it set right. It might require a bit of work to format it properly, though. Alternatively, you can use "quote" or "code" for each line, and then format for left middle and right channels for each line? Either way, as long as the grids/lists are clear, we should all know what we're all talking about![]()

Yeah and what fun we had renaming them and putting them in 92nd place. Then we grew up - unlike them!!Remember how The Victor or The Hotspur or Shoot used to give out "League Ladders" at the start of the season so you could keep track of all four English divisions and the two Scottish ones"?
I used to love those.

Deffo Shoot. Them were the days when the top player had a ghost column...Alan Ball of course!!!T
Think it was shoot. Goal was great as well
Are they all in a secret competition with one another to see who can try to to think of the most clever way to analyse such a simple game to analyse.
Splitting the field into 9 thirds. So basically what they are saying is choose the left backs, right backs, central defenders, wide midfielders, central midfielders & strikers.
They do realise a better discussion would be their preferred 11, you know like you get on a football pitch here on earth.
For those who go on there, was there any deep discussion. I assume it was something like 'yes Lovren does play Centre Back'

Ah Shoot, remember the focus on section where they asked random players their likes and dislikes etcMe too mate,although due to EFC's form in the 1970's I'd usually binned them after three gameslol,always remember our 4-0 away win at QPR,christ I couldn't wait to sort my league ladders out with the Toffs sat proudly top of the tree,pity it didn't last,Shoot magazine I think used to do them,happy days eh?lol
They would never call each other out on something like this,imagine some one coming out with this type of crap on here they would be torn to shreds,where as on RAWK they send stalky letters to players and get applauded for itAre they all in a secret competition with one another to see who can try to to think of the most clever way to analyse such a simple game to analyse.
