KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Kenny V Brenny With / Without Lucas Stats

Really more of a fact that a stat....

Thinking that Stevie/Hendo, and probably Ilori/Toure/Sakho, could play there against certain opponents. Don't see it as such a big problem, myself.

Guess we'll see.

I am pretty sure BR knows what he expects/needs and, with all the moves we made, he obviously didn't feel the need to buy. So, considering where we're @now, let's have a lil' optimism that Rodgers knows what he's doing.

edit: I forgot to include Allen; not a CDM, I know, but against certain midfields, he can play that role.

When Lucas came into Liverpool from Gremio he was playing as central attacking midfielder, it was Rafa who converted him to DM (demon master or defensive mid). In the same way, Allen, Stevie, Hendo, Sakho could play there s cover, let
alone Toure who already has experience playing in that role, so I think we will be fine in that respect. Another thing is that BR seems to prefer players who re technically good on the ball, so I don't know if he will be bringing a classic DM as there re few of them who have superior technical ability.

Here is a non stat, imagine if we had a world class defensive midfielder instead of Lucas (thats not a pop at Lucas,he is just not a DM imo)

equally, imagine if we had an extra world class player in, well pick any position you like. We only have one world class player. IMO dm isn't a position we pressingly needed to upgrade on. Lucas does a fine job, of I could make a world class addition it would be on one of our wings.

Ok let's hope BR knows what he is doing. I think though that it would be Allen who would play in that position, may be Toure, however, don't think it is Ilori or Sakho.
