what about when teams don't do that (put 8 in defence) then we don't have a good a style as we would have otherwise.
Knockdowns are helpful but shouldn't be one the main sources of our goalscoring. I know a lot fans of here are thinking 4-4-1-1. It could take years for liverpool to adapt their style of football to become a team who score a lot of goals from crosses, it could majorly backfire long term and we could become a mid table team. If we are adamant about doing this, I suggest we sign another target man type, Ings isn't good enough backup for Benteke's role.
I'd like to see Benteke have half the chemistry between a more deep lying second striker, that Torres had with Gerrard. The Imbrahimovic style back heel, against everton for example.
