KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sturridge to push suarez out wide

BR has confirmed that he will let daniel take the floating 9 center forward role and let suarez support him behind or out wide.

I'm undecided on this move. Thoughts?

Suarez can play anywhere. Played wide left for Ajax and dropped about 40 odd goals. Plays CF for Uruguay and can score.

Sturridge is best suited to ST so it makes sense to put him there and play to his strength...

We'll see if it works out... Basically Suarez will be a false 10...

Don't know why BR didn't do this with Borini though.

Lol. I've heard of a false 9 but what is a false 10? Andy Carroll?

Maybe he didn't trust Borini to get the goals. I'm pleased with this, honestly. Now we can really change up our attack. If we sub out Sturridge, we can move Luis up top. A front 3 of Suarez, Sturridge, and Sterling looks promising. Pace, energy, skill, and an ability to rotate and transition. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

LOL!

A winger that plays as a number 10, yes?

Looking at the current situation at United with V persie arriving and pushing their star striker Rooney to a midfield role, it does worry me a bit because it might just kill Suarez' momentum and he will start having a goal drought. I think Sturridge should earn the right to play upfront instead of just walking into the team like that. Suarez would remain my CF if I had my way.

Isn't out wide his preferred position though? At that interview at the beginning of the season, it sounded like the position was something he had to adapt to because there was no one else. I think he'll thrive out wide. He can play anywhere up front, and he'll be free to express himself with more attacking talent to take the pressure off.

I don't think Suarez will care where he plays, as long as he's playing football he'll be happy, he's like a big kid in that way

If you read the comments in full that isn't what BR said. His role is open to change with Daniel down the middle. It is not a case of Suarez being pushed out wide as if he is an outcast. He states 3 up front can be fluid.

If it means he isn't picked up as much and it is pressure off he will find even more space and be even more deadly
