KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Kop to pip Arsenal to another midfielder...

av always like him, good pace and can take defenders on so it makes a difference from what we have at the mo.liverpool need more players with pace at the mo we only have torres and gerrard ( babel doesnt count coz his slow when his got the ball). i love players like SWP, lennon and robbin him so i would be very happy if we get him.

Completely agree Liverpool need a lot more pace in the side, although Jova is quick and cole seems to have found another yard i havn't seen in him for some while. Obviously SWP has pace in abundance, but he just isn't very good. I really must be missing something because his crossing and general play is little more than average. With the occasional flash of something that is at best pretty good.

would you rather see kuyt of swp on the right hand side? he can open up the defence with his pace and dribbling ability. he might not be the best player in the world but his better then what we have.

ps av only seen jova play two games but he didnt look very quick to me. am i wrong?

Exactly! Jova should be played on top, not as an offensive midfielder - as it will be if we insist on playing 4-2-3-1. With jova on the pitch he needs to be the forward in that formation, or else we need to play for examle 4-4-2 with him & Torres on top. We could also have a go at 4-3-3 with Jova on the left wing. He is just not quick enough to make those long 40 m runs from midfield and get up there in time before Nando has already put the ball in the net!!

Can run up Cul de Sac's from time to time , but if anyone can bring the inner winger out of him then Roy can.

if anyone thinks that swp will be a bad signing then they are mental! he is quick, skillful, can score goals and is english. He wouldnt have been bought at chelsea and kept by man city if he was rubbish. he has been unlucky not to break into the first teams at both clubs but he will be excellent at liverpool. I would have him over kuyt any day of the week and any left back in the PL would be worried knowing SWP is on the right instead of kuyt.

I have a horrible feeling Jova will be another babel!
