Klopp will find one. it won't be ings, sturridge or benteke. he'll find the next lewandoski for us.. its about finding a guy with right attributes and attitude to develop and teaching. Not about buying finished product. buying the finished product is lazy man's management.
Exactly, I don't think you need wingers (most times) if you have clever players that can play anywhere across the front line, free, fluid movement, take the defence where they don't want to go, open up spaces for others to exploit and also agree, quicker one/two touch passing when getting in the final third.. Thats where the likes of Ibe lets himself down, takes too many touches and time on the ball, teams get back into shape and he either loses the ball or puts in a poor cross/pass which also leads to losing the ball, he needs to let the clever players do that until he's developed enough game intelligence to do it himself!
maybe he is but the lad needs a bit of time too. I think klopp needs at least two so origi might be one. we know the others are not up to it... and yeah that includes ings cos he misses the target a lot.
yes.. as long as they get in behind and make sapce they are fine. barca never just play in fornt of sides like we do. Ibe does let himself down as he does take too much out of ball and then ends up just blindly crossing it.
on thing i'd like to see klopp do is convert him from wing to CF. that might be interesting. he has the power for it.... but he's not a head up creative player.
Lets be fair, we don't really have the same players to work with.. But agree with you, Klopp has is own style, he's now seen what does and doesn't work in the PL.. He'll (hopefully) adapt his style a bit that better suits the game here while still keeping to the core traditions of his own philosophy
Exactly, he's had them playing some good football, but faults under previous regimes are still there, soft under belly, can be got at, be it mental, technical or most likely both, these need to be eradicated or at the very least limited to a 1/20 occurance not 1/4! Will agree that most of the issues he's suffered have been due to personal or lack of (during the period when loads were out injured) but the Southampton defeat is on him, he made unnecessary or the wrong changes at the wrong time.. take it on the chin, learn from it, move on and improve!
yes... very soft. I think he can take a few guys on but.... i think in general he needs harder players.
Imagine we sell Benteke for £30m+ and get Gotze for £15m- £20m. I think Lallana still has a role to play at the club and if we add someone like Gundogan to the team we'd definitely challenge for the top four.
We add Gundogan and Gotze to Coutinho, Firmino, Can, Sturridge, I think many here would die of a perpetual hardon! But Gundogan if he leaves Dortmund, can see him going to City or Juve.. Gotze is a rumour building up a head of steam but I won't believe it until its signed and sealed!
Gotze has only started 4 league games this season, I know he has been injured but surely we must be looking for players who are good enough to play first team for their team. Or is it that his style does not fit the Bayern team
this might happen. theres a lot of moeny about and benteke could easily go for that amount despite all the knockers. Gotze seems to be available but only until someone gets in his ear at bayern and he signs a new deal so if its to happen we have to move fast LFC team next year Mingolet Clyne Hummels Matip Hector Gundogen Grujic Firmino Gotze coutinho Milik thats what? hummels free transfer Matip free. Hector, 8mil max Gundogen.. 20mil (contract out 2017) Gotze 15mil (contract out 2017) milik 15mil Sell benteke for 35mil, balotelli for 15mil to china, henderson to spurs for 85mil... ahem.... Bascially you could do it out of sales. don't for get sturridge to psg for 50mil
Gotze isn't exactly what we need but for £15-20m, we need to go in for him. Gotze as the number 10 behind Firmino as the false 9 could work. But we'll still need a quality wide man with pace.
A quality wide man with pace? Ox is our man I don't actually want Ox, he's just someone we'd typically go for (or at least we would have pre Klopp) hopefully now Klopp has come in we'll be targeting a different type of players (I.e no overpriced and overhyped English tripe )
I actually rate Ox lol. I think he is talented but has stagnated badly. Anything less than £10m, I would take a punt.
