He's an awful player, clumsy tackler, dreadful positional sense, I think he's miles from being half decent
 
I hope the Moreno to Roma rumours are true, the man has no defensive responsibilities whatsoever

I doubt we'd sell, Enrique doesn't seem to be fancied given his injury problems and we have no one else at LB unless Gomez is going to be played there but wouldn't want him thrown in so early in unfamiliar position
 
Finally...a sensible Liverpool fan joins this board <whistle>
How's it going mate, nice to see you

I'm in a kind of trepidation over Bentekes arrival, the mans a beast in the air and has the upper body strength to hold the ball up which is one thing we have cried out for, I hope he can adapt to our pass and move game
 
Or we adapt out game to a game that's more suited to the prem... and not donkey ball. Bayern prove what can be done with a big guy...

I mean if only brent could get his team to play for more than 20mins at a time and not fade badly that is.
 
I think he can be effective, just wish we still had Gerard to deliver those free kicks in the box that I think benteke would thrive off

With Gerrard leading we might get the occasional decent corner now though ;)
 
Luckily, we have someone who can run now instead <ok>

Besides, Milner is pretty decent at them

I'd rather have someone who can't run, and has quality, rather than someone who can run but lacks the ability to make things happen :(

Really? Because all I remember in the last two seasons are the huge gaping holes in the midfield left by Gerrard. Regardless of how good his passing was, he negatively impacted our team performances with his lack of mobility - hence our dire win record with him in the team compared to him out the team and even average Joe playing instead.

Having someone that can't run in a team that is setup to press the ball is a bit on the silly side though.

We had huge gaping holes throughout our team with or without Gerrard in the line up. Which suggests that just maybe you are directing your criticism at the wrong person.

I don't think pressing was a great concern to us last season because we had a side with Balotelli, who isn't exactly Suarez when defending from the front, or Lambert up top, who's slow as ****.

And to be fair Juventus managed to be a team with high work rate and an effective pressing game WITH Pirlo in the middle. Difference is none of Henderson, Allen or Lucas are fit to lace Pogba/Vidal's boots.

How's it going Euros it's great to see you on here <ok> Take it you got my email. Most are a good bunch on here. Know their football if a little deluded on the Liverpool board <whistle> There's the far nicer United board as well you should try. A couple are a bit militant on there but dont mind them <laugh>

Ignore the price and Benteke's a decent signing. But if he's your main striker I'm not so sure. A matchwinner? Dont think so but I could be wrong. You needed a top signing. Ibrah or someone.
