KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The 'new striker'

nah, he is our new number false nine messi according to BR..out wide a waste. get a walcott and one the centre midfield players to actually rush into the box and we are sorted.

With a good true striker, we should be playing 4-5-1 with Suarez playing attacking midfield just off the striker. He is already always coming to the centreline to get the ball right now and I agree that on the wings he would be a waste. So I don't know how BR's 4-3-3 system works with a true Huntelaar type striker. Borini who I thought was a striker was playing on the wing so we'll see. Football is a simple game made complicated by some.

Suso out suarez in. suso hasnt done much in my opinion to warrant a start

Sure Suso has looked lightweight but would Suarez be well utilised on the wings? Not sure.

People have said before that he's played effectively out on the wings for Ajax and Uruguay. Haven't seen it myself so can't comment on that but I think if was cutting inside off the left wing he would still be as dangerous as he creates chances from nothing rather than being a poacher style forward

In a front 3, the 2 who are not in the middle do not play in the same position as wingers. They are more tucked-in and drop a little deeper than the striker. That's the perfect position for suarez. The winger's role is shared by the forward and the full back and the defence is supplemented by the defensive midfielder when either full back moves into an advanced position.

Do we play with 1 or 2 defensive midfielders? Would 2 give better cover and allow both full backs to bomb forward at will.

It gives us attacking options like this -
Wisdom Gerrard/Sahin Johnson
Sterling Assaidi
Suarez?

while always maintaining 4 players in defensive positions

We need a striker to start not as an impact sub. We are seriously lacking goals besides Suarez and we need another potent goal scorer to come in and share the load with Suarez.

Suarez should play off the front striker in a free role.

Get Walcott to play up front.

No point in hoping for a big striker as Rodgers doesn't play the game that way.

How about Adebayor?? I know he's a bit of a pr1ck but score goals?
