Hmmm maybe, its a game of opinions, and me personally would play in exactly the same way as the anfield game. If argyle let liverpool in around the back they have the quality to punish you in the blink of an eye.

Bodys behind the ball, make liverpool work for it and see where the game goes from there.

That would be what i do....even if the devil inside me is saying '' have a go''

As for penalties, they will have far too much composure and technique with penalties. It would be like England fluffing against Germany. No chance.

A penalty Shoot out is a 12 yard lottery. doesnt matter what level you play at when it comes to pens, its a leveller! If argyle go looking for an early goal they will get picked off. Keep it tight for as long as possible, have a little sniff in the last 10 minutes, Key is to stay in the game for as long as possible.

It isn't. Some players can kick a ball with more accuracy than others. It will be virtually the same side as at Anfield as they have 5 fixtures in the next 18 days, plus most of their squad will be on international duty so 6. Any 3 from lallana/Sturrige/Firmino or Coutinho may come on if its still tight after the hour mark.

Well i think i can take a penalty just as well as any professional, the main difference in a pressure cooker situation will be the mental aspect.

This isn't a pressure cooker for the likes of Liverpool, they have far bigger games every week.
The penalty "lottery" advice is the sort of advice that put paid to Cullompton's chances of anything.
Sometimes too much discipline is a bad thing for players' heads. Sometimes you just have to trust them to flower as best they can. By starting in such a manner, they give themselves a chance of getting their heads right from the outset. Adjustments can always be made.
Winning is not a gift, it's an expectation.

oh right....so a premier league player finding himself in the lottery of a penalty shoot out with a league 2 club isn't going to feel any pressure ?

Why are you mentioning cullompton by the way ?

I reckon Adams will go very similar to the Anfield game - so long as it stays 0-0. If they take the lead early you could see a totally different game, and result. Stevenage created 17 chances. If we come out and lose our defensive discipline, it could be 1-5 on the cards.

It's not a lottery in the slightest. Why do you think the Germans are so good at them?

Defend the 1st half but a little better than they did at Anfield what i mean is close em down more and be in there faces. Then if we are lucky enough to go in 0-0 at H/T and lucky enough to win the toss then go out 2nd half and attack the demport end SHIT OR BUST Throw everythink at em  including the kitchen and just HOPE!!
Thumbs

If we go all out from the start we could easily concede early doors and then we'll have no choice but to go all out ... and concede.

The gameplan has to be one that instills confidence in the Argyle players to hold onto the ball, and think before they kick. Three touches in the Liverpool box in 90 minutes is an appalling statistic. No one wins games playing like that.

Gung ho! Always been very successful for Argyle in matches at HP against superior opposition. Such as when they lost 6-1 to Newcastle. Or 5-1 to West Brom. Or 5-1 to Spurs. Or 6-1 to Arsenal. Very romantic stuffings they all must have been.

They've been stuffed just as many times while cowering in a corner.
It's the Janner mentality it would seem, from this thread.

Argyle can't go gung ho as you call it, as they won't have the ball long enough. through the 90. What I am saying is press closer on their players, and when they get the ball, actually have a pop, rather than hoof into touch like some frightened schoolboys.

I think if Argyle were capable of planning and 'consistently' mounting attacks they would. They just don't have the skill to do it.

Argyle's best and only hope is to defend stoutly and try and catch Liverpool on the break, which proved to be about the only success in attacking Argyle managed in the last game.

Such as when? It's nothing to do with the "janner mentality", unless that involves an honest assessment that a team which will probably include 5 full internationals in the starting line up [as an aside, noticeable that Alexander-Arnold played well against Manchester United, very good for a "kid"]is likely to possess sufficient technical ability, pace and movement to potentially hand out drubbing to a collection of free transfer players operating at three levels below them, no matter how much they press the ball. Anyway, all will be revealed tomorrow night.

Listening to Adams on radio Devon an hour ago he clearly said argyle will go defensive again and catch them on the break.
Of course he could be bullshitting and we go at them from the first whistle.

Only he knows, he said "We can't be too cavalier against a team second in the top league".
So draw your own conclusions. All will be revealed tonight.

All these people thinking Argyle should get right on the front foot from the off, are thinking with the heart not the head, it would be suicide.

Take a deep breath people and just enjoy the ride.

ha, if you were the manager this isnt the time for heart over head.

Im hearing Sturridge, Klavan, Lucas and coutiniho are the senior players that have traveled.

Unfortunately for argyle i think Coutiniho will play as he needs minutes in his comeback from injury.

Even the lesser premiership teams dare not be 'open' when they take on the big boys. What chance would we have?
An early goal for Liverpool would be our worst nightmare and an exhibition display might follow. Adams ain't stupid. A 6-0 drubbing could damage us mentally for the rest of the season.
He will surely look to repeat the Anfield tactics and rely on any set play we manage to win.
Much depends on the team Klopp puts out.

After taking "legal advice", Matip isn't traveling. I'm in agreement with Les and Rollo, who can forget Liverpools tactics against Real Madrid a few years back or most Mourinho teams against Barcelona.

Argyle need to be higher up than the last game. They need to get some confidence on the ball. if they are to work a couple of shys on goal, rather than just hoping for a Carey dig from a free kick.

Dane, you play cricket. If you're facing a class bowler, you don't go on the back foot in front of your wicket. Foot to the pitch of the ball, anticipate the back lift and clatter him through the covers. Take that yer big nancy. If there's an unplayable ball, no amount of defence will keep it out.

Thanks for the Cricket example, but i haven't played cricket for years,

Klopps game plan is and always will be to win the ball back as quickly as possible, his teams dont give you a second to breath, so you need to be really good in possession and that isnt something you can turn on and off like a tap. because if you push on and leave space in behind and lose the ball, liverpool have the players to get in behind and punish you within a blink of the eye.

As someone said, there are teams in the premier league that wouldn't set out to go for the throat vs liverpool so Adams wont! I bet his game plan will be to keep it as tight as possible for as long as possible, and hope that there is a breakaway or set piece argyle can benefit from.
