Every team will be looking for that type of striker. In addition, that type of striker will expect to be numero uno - a star man who would want to play in every game and might sulk if he was left on bench for a few. How would we accomodate him? Drop Friminho?

Here's a thought. What more has Suarez got to achieve at Barcelona? the team is about to enter a new phase again. Maybe we could tempt him back for the last few seasons of his career?

With Klopp's high intensity football, for players to be fit all season, they will need to be rotated. Even if anyone is numero Uno, he cannot play all games.

Strikers who score 20-30 goals+ aren't usually the type that. also run around doing the pressing as well. Suarez was exceptional but most out and out goal scorers preserve their energy and focus on making runs when attacking. These type don't like being rotated.

Klopp seems to expect his frontment to do a lot more than just 'goal hang'. Hence perhaps why he ends up playing with a string of front men, will all of them contributing to the goal tally.

Exactly why I said our transfer dealings in the summer were well short of what we required to run that tactic given the number of sicknotes we already had in our system sturidge, ings, lovren, hendo , matip, I put hendo in as he is going to be off more and more during the season either with reoccurrence of heel or others injuries do to favouring the heal injury
I feel it was a bit nieve to go into a season with that tactic of a heavy press with a light on squad, I am suprised (pleasantly) of how well we have done tbh although it might be due to other clubs not dominating as much as in the past ? imo


As that is Klopp's tactics, I can't see how we could have played otherwise and to be fair we were ok till Dec. He should have planned after that as just after we were knocked out of both cups and lost ground in the league. Let's hope that Jan doesn't cost us 4th place at the end of the season.

The report says Inter are keen on Moreno, maybe he could be used as part of a deal to land Icardi

Shhh Lain,they could be reading... Sad to see him go.. errr what a great defender he is with exceptional positional sense and does not resemble in anyway a bumblebee on acid.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
