Official Liverpool FC thread Vol 5 - "Next Year Is Our Year"
Discussion
8 goals and 11 assists is not to be sniffed at really is it?
As for what we need, the sorry fact is also what we can afford. He's not signed a contract and we could pick him up for not a lot of money. He's still young and has plenty of years ahead of him.
Whatever he costs would be mostly offset comfortably by what we offload Downing for.

True, but conversely he would either be benched behind Sterling or stop Sterling getting game time. Whatever is available to spend might add well go on a proper striker rather than a winger. I do quite like him, but he's not a great fit for us at the moment.
I believe he wants to leave arsenal because they won't play him as a striker so he won't join us to become a winger so starlings place wold be safe. I would take him on a free to play as a striker.Of course he wants a striker. He wants one similar to all the best LFC strikers in the modern era. Rush, Fowler, Owen and Torres. And what did they all have in common? Pace and movement. What does Andy Carroll lack? Pace and movement.
As for our defence, many of the goals we have conceded are down to individual mistakes rather than systematic failures. Under Rogers Swansea didn't concede many considering their resources and, if we give him time, Rodgers will tighten us up at the back.

Haven't watched a lot of Dempsey but I assume his movement is great as his pace is lacking, the type of striker our Manager wants. (I guess based on trasnfer window activity)The topic was "an out and out striker" Not sure Owen fits in with my view of an out and out striker.

The mythical plan B. he's already played it. 4231. Stunning European performance a few weeks ago.
So, if we start with 433 and struggle then we should just switch to another formation and hey presto! It really isn`t that simple though is it?

How about we start with one that isn't conceding as many as the 433 we're playing regardless. If you really think that such a suggestion means football manager beliefs and HRs ridicule then I think there's something else going on here and I'll leave it at that.
