Benteke is a proven prem. striker............Lacazette isn't. No doubt there is a step up from Ligue 1 to the PL.

That's the thing with buying in from abroad......can they do it in the prem?

We know Benteke can.............and that is significant

Why did you have to go say that?

now going to get a lecture on how prem proven means nothing and Lallana/lovren being quoted numerous times!
 
To be honest my opinion is that Benteke will only do well at Liverpool if Rodgers leaves.

At Villa, a team that was at its best on the counter attack, the ball was constantly hoofed towards him exploting his ability to hold the ball up and bring the quick wide players into play.

I can't see us playing in a way that brings the best out of Benteke under Rodgers, not least because if we did it would most likely make Coutinho look as useless as he did when Lambert was the lone striker

It's quite simple. Someone's bought the guy. Rodgers has again said ok
That's how it is supposed to work.

It's up to rodgers to make it work in his system or adjust his system to make him work.

Simple as.

Liverpool have made an offer to sign Zenit St. Petersburg striker Salomon Rondon, according to reports.

The Reds are searching for a top front man to top off their side following a raft of transfers in other areas.

Christian Benteke was a top target, but with the Belgian set to sign for Manchester United, reports say Liverpool have turned to Rondon and have now made him an offer.

It’s understood that the 25-year-old is studying the bid and is willing to change clubs this summer.

Rondon scored 20 goals in 36 matches last term for Zenit.

What's going on here! Do you think both clubs have met his clause or something?

Not very often different papers are saying 'done deal' and not on the same page club wise
 
Benteke and Firmino added to our attack which takes a bit of pressure off Sturridge. I'm personally excited.

Same here, you'd think we've just signed a terrible player.

Rodgers must think he can use this guy well - it's been our top target since before the season ended.

Just back him! Half the time that's what it takes for a striker to get firing. if it goes tits up most of u get your wish and Brod gets sacked
 
For me there should be enough here to not accept weak performance in any game. As I said if Lucas and can compete for DM can has the legs. We should at the bare minimum have twice as much running in us.

Do we have the heart.

6-1 v stoke suggests not and that must never happen again. I'd rather we get 2 sent off fighting that that.

I want at least big effort and work this year and look like a team again.

Once balotelli goes to add to johnsons disinterest, sterling's deliberate running away from goal and Gerrard little sulks all the bad will be gone and we start with players out to try and do something not see out time.

Well, we start have Lovren's hiding to put up with.

I agree with that- unacceptable, that scoreline. Happily, it was the one game I missed all season.
