Same problems exist though in that outside our front 3 we have no goals and cannot kill a game off. We were comfortable for the most of it so the finish score didnt really reflect the game but thats what happens when you create very little and fluff what you do.
Thought fabinho looked good in what he brought and also keita. Both will be starters. Still think we could do with something different in reserve up front because all sturridge, origi and solanke bring is the SOS factor to the ship. None of them are good enough.

I think Sturridge has been one of our best players this pre-season mate, he looks lean, fit and sharp and has scored 3 goals playing in scratch sides. Granted you can't shake that feeling that another injury is just around the corner but I think it's a bit unfair to compare him to Solanke and Origi, Sturridge is on a different level to those 2, he's a genuine quality footballer.
If he keeps this form up I'd like to see him as an AM, his vision and through balls are almost Coutinho-esque. He's a very clever player.
Plenty of footballers have re-invented themselves over the years as they have got older, Ray Kennedy went from target man CF to a cultured left sided midfielder, Ian Callaghan went from flying winger to controlling CM as did John Barnes.
