5 Players Who Could solve Liverpools problems.

Howdy folks,

I came across an article which discussed 5 players they thought could solves our problems. Or goal problems at least.

Here's a cut from that article:

I'd love Bent at Liverpool. I think he is pretty much what we need. I think we should just go for it with him.

 

I wish we had got Sturridge when we sold Torres... I do like the lad, and he would deffo improve our side...

 

Agree.

 

In hindsight there were a couple of very good options available on the market for us.

Demba Ba, Wolfswinkel, Gameiro or Falcao wouldve improved our goal return massively.

 

Would only take Sow out of the whole list.

 

Messi would probably solve our problems too.

Most current premier league strikers would improve our situation to be fair; we need somebody to put the chances away - If they can do that, then they might well end the season with ~30 goals.

Shane long would probably fit the bill quite well and he's not a prolific goal scorer; add Granero into the midfield for that extra bit of spark and that's a top 4 challenging side.

 

I read that Granero had a very good game at the weekend and got a standing ovation? Any truth in this??

And I would like Moussa Sow - a powerful, fast and direct player.

 

Moussa Sow and Stephane Sessegnon would be quality signings.

 

What about Adam Johnson, Mancini doesnt seem to rate him that much as he hardly plays for them.

 

Good shout, would slot straight into the first team here as well.

 

all this list shows is where we are at now.. we cannot attract the top guy or the guy in spain who wants to move up like say silva did. sow, granero, BENT... we need to buy yonug, blood and get results ove rthe next two years. 30 goal a seaosn man is nice to think of but i doubt one will just pop up form nowhere.

win the carling cup, maybe even the fa cup that europa next eyar get 4th... its a long road but the same road city had to walk on so why do we think we are better than 500million pound teams? why do we think we can just buy a few guys and pop right up to 4th in the snap of a finger?

 

5 players to solve Liverpool's problems?

Souness
Rush
Dalglish
Hansen
Barnes

 

I think we need to be patient. rather then expecting FSG & Kenny to turn everything around in 18 months we should cut them some slack. yes the signings are questionable but Downing has proved to be consistently good in the past, Henderson has shown flashes of the player he can and will be while Carroll needs to stop hitting the ****ing woodwork. Carroll needs someone like Shearer to come down to Melwood and spend some time with him. I still think Carroll will come good with time... mind you, I hoped the same from Koncheskey

 

yes... its cos guy thought they were so close and saw the club robbed blind and now they either want to forget it ever happened and we are still somehow a top side or they just don't trust anyone ever.

we got who we could, i didn't see a long line queuing up to come and i did see guys turning us down. We've got a team, its not good enough but its better than it was..... we sacked rafa after many years cos he was making bad calls and tlaking about progression. people hark back cos the guys sacking him were hated. Now we won't even give one season to allow progression.

BIG danger of becoming the next spurs (you know what i mean, years of trophiless managerial sackings culiminating in expensive flops like ramos)

If we are lucky we can see real progression in the next year and come next january we will be better again.

 

Man City - have taken around 3 years to progress to the level they're at right now and thats with a massive cash injection

Chelsea - took them a couple of years to compete and that was when they had a stable manager like Mourinho (when I say stable, he was there for at least a couple of years) and now they change managers every few months and you can see them struggling.

Man Utd - Fergie took 6 years to compete.

Rafa took around 4/5 years to make us title contenders but struggled in the final season.

Spurs - Harry has slowly been building his team and you can see how they are.

Moral of the story - it takes time to build title winning teams, even mega spenders like Chelsea and Man City took time.

 

it's not just about spending money, if we had the money we could all be billionaires and splash the cash. It's about spending it in the right places to get the right results. The Shiek has spent megabucks on citeh's youth structure and making them a brand in the middle east... they could be the first football team to truely take a grip on a market which has been a bit ignored over the last few years.

Chelsea started the modern spend to win mantra but they didn't spend for the future

The real test is FFP. you'll see city slide if they enfore it properly but they will always be there and we need to follow the same model (future investments alongside players for now). our marketting dept has done a fantastic job in the last 18 months and you know this will help us immensely we just have to make sure we spend wisely and while Coates, Suarez, Bellers and Henderson all look decent signings.... we need to continue like that

 

"Verdict: Probable – Jelavic’s father has claimed he close to joining Liverpool." ?!??! That's a bit of a twisting of the facts, the father just claims that Liverpool would be his son's choice. besides, the club have already distanced themselves from this one.

Why, can they all thrive with no service from a weak and clueless midfield? The forwards are not to blame, you have to give them the ball to score goals, and that has not happened all season. Our goals have come from players who make their own goals out of nothing, since the are given nothing to work with. if Downing, Adam and Henderson were doing their job, Carroll would not be the flop he is.

 

I disagree - bar the past few matches, we have created so many chances and have simply been wasteful.

Carroll has had a few chances to score (even using his best asset which is his head) but yet still sttruggles to get it on target. Carroll has literally no dimensions to his games and is unbelievably poor. He can't dribble with the ball, he can't control - these are basics.

And if you're saying that the only we're going to get the best out of him is if we have players who can literally put the ball on his head so he doesn't have to move, then it only highlights the fact that AC is very limited. I want a player who can head if he has to, control the ball if he has to, hold the ball up, run with the ball etc.

 

I think it is the combination of both lox and 009. AC needs that service and that top delivery but he can't create on his own; this is where Lucaas I think was pointing out with some of the other names that they can create something on their own out of nothing. Downing for me is still the worst of the lot as I look at his purchase was to provide top quality service to Carroll and he is not even close to doing that.

I also wouldn't put Hendo on that list as he puts the work in, stays after practice, and has shown glimpses of quality and some quality surging runs. He is the youngest of the bunch and will take more time so I am OK with him and think he was put in a spot where he is asked to do a very difficult job covering in midfield and don't think he is quite ready to be our starter out wide either.

 

I've been really impressed with Henderson - he is only 21 and I think he has a bright future ahead.

He is unlikely to win you any matches at this stage but he's got a good solid foundation to build up on.
