KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Which 3 players do you build your team around.

Ideally we build it around benteke in a 442 diamond as I've put forward before. Nani at man utd, would have loved benteke, he loves putting wiped crosses in. If we try to build our team completely around scoring from crosses, providing benteke service, and not attacking by crossing, then we'll be taking a giant step back. People think it's easy to get crosses into benteke, we have to hit an early cross because he has no movement in the box virtually. It's not our style of football, and we don't need to play that style of football because we're not a relegation team, or Newcastle with andy carroll.

In reality, I'd build it around Henderson, laugh if you want I think it's a very balanced choice, any better suggestions and explanations as to why, feel free to share them, even if we signed lacazette he has no strike partner other than a developing divock, and I don't think he has the magic suarez had.

I'd like to remind people of the stats he had 9 assists in 19 games at attack mid last time I checked, 10 assists and 2 goals in 22 now. We get much more out of Henderson in attacking midfield. At one point, weren't Barce tracking him? Hendo at the heart of the 4231, build the team around him. It's hard because people expect some miracle answer, but with the current squad hard to build it around any one individual in attack.

3. errr...errr... I give up!

I've never in my lifetime seen a Liverpool team so bereft of quality...we always had 2 or 3 players who'd fit into any side in the world...not any of this lot!
Klopp has a HUGE task ahead.

Can .closest to it. def not Coutinho...talented but not reliable .cant just cut it

Coutinho seems to have 1 excellent game and then he vanishes for the next 3, a bit like Firmino at the moment and Lallana.

To be fair even Sterling and Gerrard suffered from the same phenomenon with us.


The only players we have had who were consistently able to give excellent performances week in week out in the last 6 years were Suarez and Alonso.

Did his 1 excellent game happen to be when he was in a 2 in attack mid with space against Chelsea?

Hard to pick 3, we only have one player good enough that you'd want to build a team around him and thats coutinho. For me he should be played in his natural position just off a striker or as an attacking midfielder in a 3.

I'd say Henderson is our next best player, so I'd probably pick him as the second one if fit.

Then I'm struggling, I don't think any of the other players are much more than average. I'd probably say Ibe. He needs to improve alot but he's young, quick and has alot of ability. I've been far more impressed with him when he's played than Lallana or Firminio. End product needs to be better though.

If a player is really good then he will leave Liverpool.

So its probably as well Coutinho doesn't play well every game.

We've got a lot of very nice players, but none to build the team around other than may be Coutinho.

Emre Can looks like he could be a very good player in the future so may be him as well.

So it's good that players don't play well for us now is it?

And who bought all these 'very nice' players that we can't build a team around?

Brendan made some poor signings

Yes he did. The one sensible thing you've said for fukking months!

Now who has to try and work with those poor players he bought and is being slated by you at every opportunity?
