Strikers - the full list

we better off sack brendan now no way we get top 4 next year with ings or milner

Do you think FSG is going to allow the next manager to do better?...doubtful.

ings best we can get in summer, we better off sack brendan now no way we get top 4 next year with ings or milner

Can we have one EFFING thread that doesn't have trolls going on about replacing the manager? 

need a striker thats getting 20 goals next season not another yougster, would be amazing if origi hits the ground running

Everton's back four have scored more PL goals this season (9) than Liverpool's four specialist strikers (8 ).

Nuff Said.

And yet we sit fifth, 14 points clear of them in tenth... some achievement considering that ^^^ 'fact'.

If only we had filled the obvious void in attack with proven quality rather than one each of, 'value for money', 'worth a risk at the price' and one for the future'. 

Ah well...

Not bad for a manager out of his depth, eh?

After the terrible start we had, we did very well getting back up the league and knocking on door of top 4.

It could have been so much better though with more luck on the injury department, and not buying mad mario.

Corrected for you. Who keeps playing him is my question? Why not bench him?

what did I do ?

Nothing. just correcting you obvious mistake. 

haha fair enough.

But then we end the season how we started it.

We have more worrying signings than just Balotelli IMO.

We have had some fantastic strikers at this club but every now and then we seem to fall into bit of a rut where we have a load of not very good ones being signed, right now we are in that phase. Sturridge is head and shoulders the best but he is always injured!

You are correct, the last 7 ganes have been shocking from manager to players.

All started with the Manc game.

I do think we have missed big players thru injury though, or players trying to get fit in big games; Studger, gerrard, lucas, lallana, sakho.

We were actually going along quite nicely with lucas holding, Sakho at the back and sterling up top, then studger got back in looked good in 1 game, we moved sterling wide again, and next few ganes we struggled, gerrard came back in for lucas in semi, not match fit, we lost lallana after the manc game after he had been playing well. Sakho been injured lovren came in and took time to settle doing ok now, and the stupid skrtel suspension never helped.

A lot of things have gone wrong in past 7 games. But it's still not good enough, but Im willing to accept a lot of these things above have really not helped.

ok.

We presently have...

1) Sturridge
2) Sterling (Im counting him as he has played there a lot)
3) Balotelli
4) Lambert
5) Borini
6) Origi (loan,)
7) Aspas (loan)
8 ) Yesil
9) Sinclair (loan)

Thats a lot of strikers and we supposedly don't have any.

I reckon Aspas & Borini are defo gone in summer, possibly Lambert ?

so that's 3 squad strikers to replace, youth guys like Yesil & Sinclair will hopefully step up, Origi will probably take a bit of time to settle.

So looks like we probably need 2 proven quality strikers to replace sterling who sould go back into midfield, and to fill the void left by suarez and the likes of Borini leaving.

So who ??

Thats a depressing list, whats also depressing is that the majority of these strikers have been brought in to improve our striker force and all came with the usual 'there better than what we have got' tag.

im not sure who we go for in the summer,  but it has to be PROVEN top quality and players who have experience of playing at pressure clubs and have actual proven talent rather that potential - such as Canavni, Pedro, etc.

someone who harasses the opposition and can set the tempo the way in which the likes of Suarez and Sanchez do.

Not really.
Wonder what the minutes played looks like.
Our "Specialist Strikers" hardly played.

The "problem" is not signing the quality needed to replace Suarez and then
putting everything on Sterling.

Bet things look a bit better compared to his stats.

Slightly off topic (but only slightly) - I was chatting with a fellow Red, about all things Red, in work yesterday... manager; strikers; the lot.

I mentioned that we were being link with Ciro Immobile. The lad very nearly choked getting his angst at the prospect out - long rant short: according to him; Immobile is just that and whilst half decent in the right system/set up, he wouldn't do for us as he's not the right type for how we play.

Fair point, you would think until... you realise that the same lad wants Jürgen Klopp as our manager; the same manager who signed and plays Immobile in his system.

Like I said; slightly off-topic... as you were.

To be fair Immobile hasn't played that much this season and hasn't made much impact

don't even know who this immobile is, but with a name like that not interested.

I'm not sure what your point is FATK. Who are 'we' being "fair" to? 

I'm not sure what your point is FATK. Who are 'we' being "fair" to? 

the point is that klopp's judgement was being questioned over signing immobile, with both manager and player being linked with Liverpool. The fact is that he hasn't figured that often especially after the winter break, it wasn't aimed at you really, should have made myself clearer. Anyway don't see either klopp or immobile at anfield anytime soon.

Nah mate... read back - the point was the lad didn't rate Immobile because he wouldn't fit our system (nothing more) but... the same lad wants Brendan sacked and Klopp signed.

By that logic, given Klopp signed Immobile: if he was our new manager, it's reasonable to assume that he doesn't see Immobile as being a bad fit for his system (which, in turn, would be our system).

Unless, of course, Klopp, after signing him didn't rate the lad - It can happen you know. 

Then again: Immobile has played over two dozen games, for Dortmund, this season - 20 in the league alone [scored 3] so who knows...

Personally I don't rate the fella so I wouldn't sign him.

fair enough, was surprised when they signed immobile, not sure if it was klopp or zorc but i agree , he works hard but not sure if he's top class despite the goals at torino

Balotelli is just not good enough his mobility is simply not suited to epl

Lambert is more agile ? Balotelli's mobility gave Aguero the chance to win them the title.

I don't think so mate Aguero hasn't exactly struggled since they off loaded Mario has he.

The only thing Aguero needs is fitness he's quality Mario's not.

Aguero get's defenders shitting themselves like Suarez did sadly Mario doesn't.
