KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The answer to the January Striking problem

Won't get much enthusiasm here cause it doesn't involve sacking Rodgers, blaming the King or waiting for Rafa to come back:)

sorry but who are we talking about here, long or doyle?

u not get tired at all

speaking as a paddy, i'd love to see an irishman back at lfc. it's been a while. as much as i like shane long, i'm not sure he's that kind of poacher that we need. long is a skillful, energetic, committed pest. we already have one of them. if we were to bring in huntelaar as the main man with suarez, i'd be happier seeing long out there than borini as the alternative

what rubbish imo

he has got great tenacity and determination. he gave skrtel and agger more than a handul on the first day of the season and he's played well since. great to see players like him who literally work their arse off for 90 mins. WBA would be reluctant to sell though, meaning we'd pay well over £12m imo

shane long will not be coming to anfield I repeat never.

I like Long a lot, but he's a bit like Carroll isn't he? Albiet a bit quicker. But he's a typical big man no. 9, which doesn't suit Rodgers' style. Are his passing and touch good enough to play this sort of system?

Everyone was raving about carroll while he was at barcodes. Nobody expected that he would have failed so terribly at anfield eh? Funny that we're now raving about another mid-table striker who is probably worse than carroll.

Long did not pass 10 goals in the league last season, not what we are looking for at all, We need a 30 goal forward. I would much prefer to take his partner Odemwingie but still we need to do better than these strikers if we want to compete for CL.
