KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Who is your first choice for left wing?

Between Downing, Adam Johnson, N'zogbia, and Mata.

Any of them would do me fine, they are all good players in different ways. Mata is a bit of a risk, but the way in which he oozes class suggests he will do fine wherever he goes. Downing can do the basics correctly, and is a good leader with good experience. Johnson has endless potential, and given proper time and coaching could become a great. N'zogbia is probably my least favourite due to his history with Andy Carroll, and he does his best work from the left flank.

Any thoughts?

downing for the left wing because he'd be the best for carroll.

There's nothing I want to see more next year than Andy Carroll scoring 25 crap goals. Suarez can score the 15 nice looking ones, but I think there is more pressure on Andy.

More importantly, WHY is there now a pukey smiley next to the thread title please?

Complete accident on my part. I am new here, and don't have much of a clue as to what I am doing

No worries matey, oh, and welcome!

Don't even know how you did it tbh.

Downing and Johnson, one to run to the corner and get the crosses in and the other to cut inside and shoot on goal.

Adam Johnson is a right winger, have not seen him play as a leftwinger for city and he likes to cut inside and shoot or lay the ball, andy has legs too and it doesnt matter whether we get a crossing winger or not he will still get excellent service. Mata for left wing.

Johnson hands down, we need an out and out winger in my mind that leaves only downing and Johnson while N'zogbia and Mata tend to drift around the pitch more often thus becoming more creatiive throught other channels on the pitch.

Despite this Mata is another level compared with Downing and would have him over downing despite him drifting about.

In an ideal world one out and out winger i.e downing or Johnson and the other a drifter who plays wing n'zogbia or Mata.

If we have a chance of getting Johnson and Mata I would be so confident in our creativity that i'd sack us signing adam and put the 10 mil to funding one of the 2 mentioned above in order to sign them both.

Realistically at the moment only Juan Mata and Stewart Downing fits the expectation for our wings. And these 2 are more likely to be signed compared to Adam Johnson and Charles N'Zogbia. But if given more funds for another winger would love to add Adam Johnson to the ranks for more creativity and rotational for all 3...
