Should we fail to secure the signature of a recognised striker i'd be tempted to put Big Joe upfront for a number of reasons I shall list below:-
1. Anthony Gordon is not a striker and is best played out on the left
2. Jacob Ramsey can come in across the midfield 3 along with Bruno and Tonali with Gordon, Big Joe and Elanga in front of them.
3. It gets Big Joe out of that midfield melting pot where he's sure to pick up a 2nd yellow in two games, everybody is gonna be fired up for this one and the last thing we need is going down to 10 men.
4. I'd quite like to see Big Joe vs VVD, that's ****ing box office baby !!!
Joking aside, there are worse ideas (persisting with Gordon up top being one of them). We signed him as a striker and it didn't work out but he's played there before and he can actually score goals, he just needs like 10 chances in order to score one of them but with Gordon/Elanga either side of him and our midfield we can definitely take the game to them. It's gonna be some game like, wonder where Isak's gonna be watching it from.
Ha, yeah, it would be a shot on goal which he'd slice massively towards the corner flag which then ricochet's off VVD's arse and loops over the keeper and nestles in the back of the net.
Totally agree with this, Big Joe kicking lumps out of the poxy Virgil VD would indeed be box office viewing, you never know he might fluke one into the scousers net anarl.![]()

I think we will win. I think the atmosphere will kill them.0-2.

Even Ekitike might buckle. We just need to keep Joelinton under check and that’s Bruno’s job.
While I don’t deny it’s a bit bad we don’t have a striker. I think this game is a unique game and will be an absolute epic historic game with us winning.Mate we don’t have a striker. We couldn’t muster a shot vs 10 man Villa, who haven’t had a great summer. This is Liverpool. We’ll probably start all huff and puff, with a few tackles bringing roars of approval, but it’s run of the mill to elite sides and they’ll just pick us off knowing we don’t really have a threat. It’s criminal we’re entering the second match without a striker.
I’m sure we actually mustered 16 shots v VillaMate we don’t have a striker. We couldn’t muster a shot vs 10 man Villa, who haven’t had a great summer. This is Liverpool.

I mean this is spot on other than the 16 shots we got off against VillaMate we don’t have a striker. We couldn’t muster a shot vs 10 man Villa, who haven’t had a great summer. This is Liverpool.

If you look back over our last 10 or so games last season, you might be quite surprised. Isak scored about 4 or 5 goals in total, half of which (at least) were penalties. Plenty of goals from Bruno, Barnes, Murphy and Tonali with the odd one from Schaf, Burn and Osula. The situation at the moment is **** but it’s not as bad as people make outs. Not having goals in the team is just a really ****ing bad and lazy narrative being pedalled to glorify the fact that Isak isn’t in the team and we’re **** without him!While I don’t deny it’s a bit bad we don’t have a striker. I think this game is a unique game and will be an absolute epic historic game with us winning.
I may indeed be wrong mind.
