Finally people are starting to realise that 4-3-3 doesnt suit the players we have.

[The Hustler]

Not yet convinced that Borini is good enough to start in a red shirt. Maybe better on the bench for now.
Gerrard + Suarez up front. V sunderland

At least we will then have options on the subs bench.

i`d play him through the middle, his movement is good and he seems a bit more opportunistic than luis so he may latch onto something.
anyway we cant afford not to play him really, with only having 2 recognised forwards he`s got to put his shoulder to the wheel and do his fair share of the work load, if he doesnt suarez will be a physical wreck by christmas.

So you'd play 2 of our misfiring players upfront, how would that help?
I think we need to play Borini as the striker and have Raheem on the left and Suarez on the right both cutting in, that could be deadly. We also need to try out some of th eyoungsters in the striker role, BUT we have to stop playing Suarez as the striker, he just isn't clinical enough and never will be, we learnt that last season but he is fabulous at creating chances.

You are suggesting playing a misfiring striker as a lone striker with Suarez (another mis-firing striker) alongside. How is that any different fro the previous suggestion? The suggestion is as bad as yours.

erm no because firstly I don't think Borini is misfiring, I think he's settling in and already he looks fairly sharp with good movement, secondly he has not been playing as a striker so far but on the right side of attack.

[SouthCoastShankly]

0 goals, very few created chances and when he has had in on a plate (1st leg v Hearts, Man City) he missed. If you categorise Gerrard as misfiring then Borini is with him.

I actually think Borini will improve but he fits your own definition of misfiring.

it`s not easy to score from out wide though, and at the moment our wide forwards are playing more like wingers than forwards.
we cant really expect them to be on the end of their own crosses.

[The Hustler]

Suarez is the best striker option out of that lot. Borini has not proved he can score for us.

Totally agree but the two clear cut chances Borini has had so far have been smack bang in the middle of the box.

Given both were volleys but I do not think it is unreasonable to expect a Liverpool striker to be able to finish those types of chance.

Fowler, Owen, Torres, etc would have. Dare I say Heskey.

in fairness, neither has Suarez on a consistent basis.

Do you not remeber how fecking awfull Heskey was, he probably would have tripped over the ball.

i think thats a bit unfair, he scored 22 goals for us that season when we won the 5 trophies and the other 3 seasons he was at the here he scored 14, 9 and 12 goals.
no one is saying he was the second coming of roger hunt but he wasnt `fecking awful`.

[Kenny Kan]

Borini needs to play down the middle of the front three, it's imperative he starts scoring - Christ knows we need him him to.

[The Hustler]

He missed another three good chances again today V Sunderland. I'm not sure sure how good this lad is, or whether he should be starting and playing 90 mins.
