KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum clinical finisher required

I would prefer to see Andy given a go up front and let Borini and Suarez play off him. As someone mentioned earlier it gives the opposition defense more thing to worry about height with Carroll and pace with Suarez! Let Suarez create the goals and let Borini and Carroll bang them in.

If we aren't in for a clinical finisher then why waste AC on the bench? Give him a go and play a three man attack. I think it's worth a shot!

YNWA

I agree. Fellaini caused all sorts of problems for United today. Carroll has done the same for us, there's no reason he can't do it again.

Just as much as we should stop saying this and that player is not good enough for LFC, then other clubs sign them and they win games, whiles our signings always do nothing, apart from Saurez.

As good as Suarez is, unfortunately he's the one who is not clinical enough!

completely agree, he is probably the person who cost us most against West Brom, the chances he missed could of provided the platform to go on and win that game when it was 0-0, the man is simply not good enough, same as last season 11 league goals all season, disgrace.

Ah ford focus how are you

As someone already said Huntelaar is the best option, heard Schalke are willing to part with him for 15 million euros which is only about 12 or 13 million pounds. If we got him and kept Andy while selling adam and spearing and bringing in another winger i think our squad would be complete for now. Also need cover for left back as johnson playing there shouldnt be an option for me he's a right back and thats it keep him on the right

Dont u mean 11 league goals in 27 league games? Thats as many as he played. Suarez is not the problem is you ask me he does his job every week, he makes chances for others and for himself, we cant rely only on him to come up with the goods surely some of the critism has to be on Borini, Downing, Gerrard and Allen? Atleast Suarez provides us with endless entertainment on the pitch surely we need another out and out goal scorer Bent, Defoe, Huntelaar, Ba etc.?

I agree with you man, while suarez is often times wasteful infront of goal, hes a handfull to defenders it gives our opponents something to think about while playing. We could blame him for our miss chances but we have to realise 90% of those chances were created solely by him. We need other players to step in contributing something to allow our opponents' defenders to be concern about someone outside of suarez. At the end of the day suarez is our only sure penetration we have at Liverpool. Whenever he gets the ball we stand to our feet similar to when stevie got the ball on top of the 18 back in the days. I would love for us to get a clinical finisher but it doesnt allow the rest of the attacking players to start pulling their weight with goals.

Agreed 90% of the chances he gets, he creates. And your second point is exactly what i was aiming at whenever we play it seems the defenders no right away who our key man is in attack but yet whenever he gets the ball they still dont know what to do. Ajax's squad(no disrespect to the dutch league here)when they had Luis was in a different league to most other dutch teams so when Suarez hadn't the ball the opposing defenders always had problems and this led to Suarez becoming free in lethal positions and banging in the goals. In my opinion Liverpool need to look at that situation and they should be signing or trying to sign another marquee signing now instead of January so when we attack the opposing defenders will have to many other players to deal with and this should free up more space for Suarez, not that he needs it, but i reckon if he gets another yard of space he gets 20+ this season.
