Pedro is a very good finisher and has pace. I would happily have him as a striker instead on Bentekrap

Exactly - you could have Ford and Firmy behind him, with plenty of movement between the 3 positions - especially firmy and Pedro changing it up from time to time. Could be quite devastating to be honest.

The main reason he's played out wide mostly for Barca is due to Messi being in the middldle, now with Suarez and Neymar there he won't get a sniff. Career wise he needs to move.

4231 with plenty of interchanging between the top 4.

Subs bench of Bogdan, Wisdom, Skrtel, Hendo, Lucas, Lallana, Markovic,

That is quite a few new names in the starting line-up. I'm guessing you're considering injuries? Why have you dropped Hendo?

Just think Milner offers more protection in that role than Hendo would.

Nice to have the option to switch it round though.

Could easily bring Hendo in for Ibe and go 442 diamond as per below.

Can
Milner Hendo
Coutinho
Firmino Pedro
 
Full strength I'd like to see below although Ilori is still 50/50 at the moment as not proven he is better than Skrtel in this league and could swap milner for Hendo depending on performances.

Mig
Clyne Ilori Sakho Flanno
Can
Milner Coutinho
Pedro Sturridge Firmino​
 
If we were to have the option of Pedro. Hendo would have to start in stead of Ibe imo. Otherwise we'd have too many attacking players and get ****ed on the counter. We can't expect Can and Milner to cover an average defence.

On paper that looks good, but in reality thats more of a fantasy team tbf.

See, I think if we only play two of Hendo, Milner or Can then we lose that competitiveness in the middle, I'd play all three and make us hard to beat. That would allow the two FBs to get forward to provide width and leave the front three to do as they please on attacks too....

Migs
Clyne - Ilori - Sakho - Flano
Can
Hendo - - - Milner
Coutinho - - - - - - - - - - - Firmini

I'm not great at attacking but I did do this at WHL

Well, I was talking about the players we've actually got, otherwise I'd have had a front three of Messi, Suarez and Neymadge and the only player in my team that would have remained would have been the mighty Flanno :)

But we were talking about how you'd fit Pedro into the team.. <doh>
Without Pedro, yet my team would be different as I'd be more solid in midfield and would match yours.

RE bit on bold, if you're doing that kind of need tot ake Flanno & Sturridge out for the time being as no idea if they'll ever really be back fit.

Pedro would be a great signing but he's not what we need right now IMO, we need a proper striker that isn't Balotelli, Lamert, Borini or Benteke!

Do we though?

Interchanging front 3/4 of Frimy, Pedro, Cout & Ibe/Markovic/Lallana should give us more movement & chance of goals.. Pedro has a decent goal scoring record. That should cope until Sturridge is back to give a proper CF option.

Heck with those lost providing chances, even Balotelli might get 5 goals <yikes>
