KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hard to see were a striker would fit in!

Then for the tougher games drop maxi push stevie forward behind Torres put cole on the left and bring in poulsen god this management life is easy think I could do the treble in my first year no problem

Would actually like to see Maxi get more of a run out alright. He improved towards the end of last season once he had settled in the premiership. He has good vision and good delivery. Should be in the first 11 at the moment IMO as he offers more out wide than pretty much anyone else in the squad at the moment.

He should be anyway, Maxi is a top class player, people forget this sometimes.

As much as we all wanted a striker it would have been difficult to fit him into our current system. Also, the quality of striker we would have been happy with wouldn't have liked being a bench warmer. I also think that there is cover for Nando for when he gets injured again.

Just like to say that all the teams that people have been posting on here look pretty strong to me and this is all at the same time that people are saying we are weaker than last year! (on other threads)

----------------Reina--------------
Carra---Sketel--Agger---Konch
---------------Poulsen------------
Johnson-------JC----------Jova
---------------Gerrard-------------
---------------Torres--------------

or Gerrad swap place with JC

if we got carlton cole i would of cried

well if we had of signed a striker its quite obvious where he would fit in... up front! im not being sarcastic either.

think about it

38 pemier league games
10 europa league games possibly 17
plus at least 2 domestic cup games possibly 14

we won't have a good cup run in every competition but its still going to be a long season. can you rely on torres playing 40 games this season?

we all would have liked some quality to ease some pressure off nando. gomez would have been perfect. it adds healthy competition for a place in the side, something torres has never really had since his arrival.

we seemed to be linked with wing/forwards like remy and ruiz though so maybe they would have featured some games out wide.

it ain't all that bad, at least david n'gog knows it make or break for him now, he has until xmas to impress the manager. he's not the best player, but if you were him it would be nice to get your chance to shine

i dunno why everybody is missing the fact that we have a bigger problem with the main team structure, its a mess we don't have a character in games, please roy put an end

Joe Cole was not added in my team because he was suspended. Bring him into the team and it still poses the question why we are looking at spending 10million on a player that will be sitting on the bench under the current financial contraits.

We have Ngog and whilst he is'nt the highest of quality. He will do the for the time being.

The money should be put into more support for the right wing. We have plenty of options for most positions the Right wing seems to be a position that does'nt have alot of cover.

I'm part of the camp that thinks we don't need another striker. A lot of our issues last season stemmed from our inefficiency in getting the ball from Reina to the front line; we either hoofed it away or played the ball back and forth between the back 4 and DMs. This needs to change.

Central to solving this problem will definitely be the role of Steven Gerrard. For my money he must control from the center of midfield always. We have several players who can play just off the striker, but if Stevie is tasked with that the supply line is cut and we have nothing. How Meireles controls things will also determine our fate; if he's a cross between Masch and Alonso then he'll be perfect! Everything hinges on these two guys. Giving enough quality ball to whoever the striker is should be our priority; N'Gog may lack composure but given enough chances he does get them in.

We should be in good shape defensively this season, and I'd be disappointed if Pepe doesn't win the Golden Glove again. With this in mind I think we can afford to not be so defensive, but I'm sure Roy will disagree with me and go for safety first as this season should be tougher than last for every team.
