KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum solutions with the squad we have

we have established that everyone is angry in different levels. lets talk here about solutions.

in this thread specifically lets suppose only 1-2 players are coming, and a new manger will have to work with the available team including Carroll, Downing and Hendo.

what is the best style of play best suited to get the best off them, and who is the manager that can best implement it?

my answer is that we need to play more direct football, pass & move will not work with this squad, and the best managers to implement this and give us a consistent form are Moyes and O'Neil.

I don't even want to entertain that horrific scenario unless AC & JH are used as emergency backup.

We need an out and out goal scorer.

The problem is that they are hard to come by.

We also need a midfielder that can dominate a game and dictate the pace of it.

We have neither at present.

Only my opinion, feel free to disagree

their wont be an overhaul of the squad, i think a RW player will surly come, other than that nothing is sure.

who do you think is best suited to manage this squad+a RW player?

Personaly see it as two teams at the moment and We keep playing a mix of both teams styles to appease the players wanting to play,

1st team suits carroll's play and was what we started to play like when Suarez had the ban and carroll started to find form and play well

In Having Downing, kuyt, gerrard, adam, and no suarez no maxi

2nd team suits pass and move i.e last season

In having Lucas, suarez, maxi, kuyt, bellamy, and need a new cmsimilar to meireles and no Downing, no adam

If we get players who can suit both teams like we currently have in kuyt and Lucas this summer it'll make the teams gel better when a mixture is played like this season whilst improving both styles of play when each individual team is picked

with only 1 or 2 signings, and just being real i would get rossi from villreal hes on sale for 12 mil because of financal crisis and also granero from real. my formation would be 4-2-1-3, back line consist of agger skrtle glen and jose midfield granero and lucas. In the attcking midfeild role would be stevie/hendo or shelvey(or move up granero and put hendo/adam or shelvey beside lucas. The striking option would be bellamy (maxi)sub on the left rossi in the striker role and suarez from the right cutting into goal from the wings thats where he does most of his damage.

option 1
reina -
glen,agger,skrtle,jose
lucas, granero-
stevie -
suarez, rossi, bellamy

option 2
reina
glen,agger,skrtle,jose
lucas,hendo/adam
granero/shelvey
suarez/kuyt,carroll,downing

i dont understand what your trying to imply. please explain

am i the only one in seeing that morgan currently in the reserves has a great eye for goal and has many times been likened to that of robbie fowlwer being a fox in the box?surely we couldnt do any worse than give the wee man his chance as its clear to see scoring goals is hard 2 come by for are current stikeforce and surely if hes ever going to be good enough let the wee man prove it and its a given hell play for the shirt even coming on as a sub from now till end of season along with raheem sterling and try and get a few pouisitves out of the season and set us up a bit for next year

I have a solution for you mate.

Play youngsters from now until the end of the season. The seniors know the league is over therefore will not bother putting even 50% effort into it.

Play the academy reserves and hopefully we will see one or two of them shine.

thats what Hodgson did against Northampton and it back fired. Youngsters need to play with better players to improve,so throwing a large group in defeats the object. However, a lot more has gone on than we realise. Several are now training with the first team and Sterling and Coady have been warming up on matchday to experience the pre-match feeling. It takes time to blood young players but we have started - I count 6 under 21 who are in and around the first team - Sterling, Coady, Shelvey, Flanaghan, Robinson, eccleston. All within the last 6mths. Quite a shift from where Hodgson and even Rafa to some extent.

Throw in Coates and Kelly and thats 8 who will get first team experience over the next year or so. That is a massive swing in policy.
