That's the idea lads.
We score f**k all goals last season so put the striker in the back burner.
A striker and nothing else, unless its another striker, is what I'm after.
Going to hold my tongue on this one
The way I see it, the root of our problems wasn't the strikers, it was the creative aspect and how Rodgers played our forwards. How often did we see our strikers (when they played) in the box? How often did we see them playing their unnatural game? How often did they get chances?
With Firmino and Coutinho, we should create, create and create and add that fear factor back. Ings & Origi will get chances, a lot of them, so I would rather give them a chance to prove their worth and see what they are capable of before spending 25m+ on a new striker when Ings or Origi could do the job.
A consistent stronger DM/DLPM will allow the CM(s) and full backs to attack with more conviction, it will give us better control in the middle, but most importantly, it should improve our defence.
Domination in the middle is what we have been lacking for years & years, and for me, the majority of games are usually won in the midfield, so having a player like Carvalho or Illarra (if you rate him) in the middle would be a huge game changer for the team as a whole which is more important for me.
