KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Play Borini and Lambert up front till Sturridge returns ?

As per the title

Drop Balotelli to the bench and see how he does as an impact player

In January we need to buy a world class striker if one is available hopefully ?

Your views ?

Or we could just not bother with a striker:

----------Henderson----Gerrard----------
Markovic---Lsllana----Sterling---Coutinho


With Sterling playing as a 'false 9'

Always want to see us play 2 up top but I think putting Balotelli in the impact sub role will just see his withdrawn attitude escalate quicker.

Horrible to think that a draw at home to RM will be a celebrated result no matter how we get it.

Is there such a thing as an available world class striker?
If there is his price at this moment in time is probably £40m plus £20m for panic buying.

Perhaps we should get Origi back early and take the gamble on him hitting the ground running with us.
We are not playing much differently until we get to the final third. We need a highly mobile player to help us.

Sterling could become a good striker as he has blistering pace but you just know that if we used him like that he would be taken out at the earliest opportunity by every opponent. If you think the treatment he gets now is bad it would be far far worse.

Are there any academy strikers that can step up , while we are in this situation ?

What happened to Yesil?

What has happened to Yesil?

The situation is desperate , we need to come up with something and shake things up

Lets give Lambert and Borini the chance together who knows

If it gets any worse than now we can recall Aspas from loan

They can't do any worse than Mario at the minute. But Rodgers likes his poncy one up front trying to be Barca crap so he'll not do it until forced to.

As for a world class striker? Not sure who I out there that I'd be happy to buy. Cavani isn't worth close to what we'd have to pay and neither is that French chap at Real (forgotten his name!). There must be others out there that maybe not world class (yet) but could score when needed. I'm not talking potentials but established players and even the likes of Huntelaar.

Pay whatever extra is required to get Origi in from his loan.
