i dont care about opinions i care about the fact. the result. id take us winning 1-0 and playing ok over a GREAT PERFOREMANCE and no result. And i dont go along that a striker will solve all our problems.
a) suarez does not play in a set position. You have to now move suarez out of his position to a wider position.( left or right)
b) there are other huge mistakes happening all over the pitch that are not being mentioned. If we are not scoring lots of goals we should be a lot more carefl and work harder not to concede cheap goals. no? EG. THE COUNTER ATTACK. EG. The way we have to play out from the back.
c)If you look at the chances that are being missed. They are not all suarez. Shelvey, gerrard, sahin, sterling, suso, borini, allen and the rest of midfeild need to take responsibility for missed chnces aswell.
Overall buying a striker may help yes of course, but he has to fit into our system first and play well with suarez /sterling and co. And a striker is not going to help with all out other issues.
Look at he whole issue and stop banging on about how 'a' STRIKER would have made all the difference. Dont think so.
Overall they are very good points but I think you are undervaluing the impact a clinical striker could have on us. Yes we would probably have to move Suarez out to the left but he will still have the freedom to cut inside and take players on and be as much of a creator as a finisher if there is a poacher always in the box.
People have pointed out that we don't get enough players into the box and this is generally true. Shelvey when he plays seems to be the only midfielder currently capable of making that last minute run in to the box and could have had 2 goals yesterday. Suarez comes deep enough looking for the ball and turns and runs at defenders and this is often the reason we don't have a striker in there. As above a player like Huntelaar will always be lurking in danger areas and cause defenders more problems that way. I also think it opens up a bit more space for the likes of Suarez and Sterling if the defenders are forced to concentrate on a player sitting on the last mans shoulder.
