There alot of talk on here about we need a goal poacher to have a realistic chance of winning the league but is this actually the case??
Liverpool League stats 06/07
Strikers:
Kuyt 12
Crouch 9
Bellamy 7
Fowler 3
Midfielders:
Gerrard 7
Alonso 4
Luis Garcia 3 (out for 6 months tho)
Gonzalez 2
Kewell 1 (played very few games)
Pennant 1
Riise 1 Played hald the season in midfield/hald at left back
Champions 06/07
Strikers:
Rooney 14
Saha 8
Solskjaer 7
Larsson 1
Midfielders:
Ronaldo 17
Scholes 6
Park 5
Giggs 4
Carrick 3
Fletcher 3
Eagles 1
Looking at those stats the strikers scored a similer amount of goals but its the midfield which we are lacking in, Ronaldo scored 17 which could be a one off but even so he'll chip in with a fair few goals, but thats still almost loads more than what we scored.
Now the poacher issue, we had Owen and we never won the league so what makes you think if we signed him/a player like him we will? all what would happen is he may score a few but he'll be takin from one of the other strikers so it doesnt benifit us!!
Get more goals from the midfield and we'll be alot closer to winning the league than we are now!!
my opinions but any other thoughts??
(i'm a Torres fan and want us to sign him as I think he'll score 10+ and create a fair amount as well similier to what Rooney does for utd)
These stats are EPL only
