KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum where will sahin fit in?

i was thinking along the same line. against a west ham we play

-----lucas----

Sahin---- stevie.

with substitution coming in on the wings and in the striker role.

Against a chelsea or man u i definitely say

----Lucas----
Allen----stevie/Sahin

after about 65-70 minutes in the match when legs get tire you put both sahin and stevie in to run in the middle and control the midfield with possession frustrating the opposition.

How did Swansea line up and how have LFC lined up so far?

Is it: 4-3-3
Or is it: 4-2-3-1

I've seen conflicting info on this matter...

as i just posted on the transfer thread if sahin and tello sign then adam is deadwood and a move to everton or where ever would free up places in the squad .

its the same both teams have lined up. 4-3-3

swansea

----allen----

leon britton------sidg

dyer-----graham -----sinclair


liverpool.

-----lucas-----

Allen----stevie

downing---borini---suarez.

If we're only going to play 2 central midfielders (4-2-3-1) there'll be a lot exits from the club. Assuming Gerrard plays wide right or behind the striker, we will have sahin, lucas and allen as the main 3 fighting it out for 2 places (although Sahin has been given 1st team assurances apparently? that might suggest he doesn't rate Lucas as highly as we do as he's just bought Allen as well?). That would leave spearing, shelvey, henderson & adam all surplus to requirements. The better of those 4 is Shelvey and because he wouldn't play much and isn't earning much then he'd probably be kept as backup. Adam & Henderson are our most useless players but would have some kind of resell fee worth cashing in on if they aren't regular starters. They are also earning more than shelvey and spearing. It seems logical that adam and henderson are next out the door.

i think henderson will stay as he can play centre and wide and he is young and can run .

I keep hearing BR refer to his 'front 4' though. To me that suggests a striker with 3 men behind (1 on each wing and 1 in the hole).....which is different to a 4-3-3.

He CAN play centre and wide but he's sh!t at both. Mo Farrah can run and run as well. The dailypost think we are prepared to listen to offers for henderson. I know very little about that paper's integrity but I am choosing to believe them! :-)

i cant see the club allowing him to go cheap it would be taking a big hit after one season 20 million cant just let him leave for nothing .

No one mentioned letting him leave for nothing. I said he had the most resell value of our useless/surplus players and was probably on the highest wage so it would make sense it he was moved on.
No way would he get a game ahead of gerrard, sahin, allen or lucas. And if we're going to have players only playing 5 or 10 games a season (emergency backup) then you'd want it to be players who are on a low wage, ideally youth players.
We could sell Henderson now for £5m-£7m, or let him leave for nothing when his contract expires after we've shelled out another £3m in wages and he's barely kicked a ball for us - that would repesent an even bigger loss than selling him on the cheap!.
I don't know about you but I'd rather save money by getting rid of him and use that money for an area of the squad that is a bit weaker than central midfield.
The £20m has gone - we can't do anything about that. What we can do though is evaluate the situation; look at his value, look at his wages, look at how many games he might play in, look at what alternatives we elsewhere in the squad..........if we got rid of him now would his contributions honestly be missed?
