STM Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Going with their current squad, if you were Liverpool manager what team would you play? I was thinking they would have a half decent team if they had a re-shuffle. However, no world class manager will play Suarez as an out and out centre forward because he doesn't offer enough hold up play or aerial threat. Even alongside someone like Carroll he's proven to be only semi-affective, despite some serious talent. I think a new manager will be looking at something like this: Reina Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique Lucas Adam Bellamy Gerrard Suarez Carroll However, without signings even this side is woefully short. Far too many if's and buts. Will Gerrard recapture some form? Will Suarez started producing regularly? Will Carroll and Adam step up to the plate? Could Bellamy play a full season? Will Skrtel stay? Some big problems for a new manager, should they find one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Basically their defence is good and GK is usually good but their attack Suarez aside is crap and their midfield Lucas aside is bonafied trash.... I hope for their sakes that their owners have deep pockets...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Aye but rumour has it that Skrtel wants to leave. That would be a nightmare, Carragher might have to play. I'm suprised he hasn't been tipped for manager, actually. The sort of crack-pot decision i'm expecting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Reina Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique Henderson Lucas Gerrard Downing Suarez Carroll Is their best XI, a decent manager would get it working as well, but not to the standard it cost or is worth. Adam isn't a top half player, he was the main man at BP and it worked, it was never going to work elsewhere, well to that efficiency anyway. Bellamy when fit is a good player, but even when fit these days isn't what he was, not even from the start of the season. His leg injuries have taken their toll, lacks that huge burst that made him deadly, though his heart is still there. Tbh I wouldn't even rely on Gerrard either for the same reasons as Bellamy, however he's too important to the club to leave out of any line-up. Realistically they need to cut their losses with Downing, hope they get someone stupid enough to pay them half of what they paid and spend it on an out and out left winger with creativity while deciding which role Lucas will occupy in the centre then buy either someone to sit in front of him or behind him to support him while phasing out Gerrard. I'd personally go with behind and shut up shop, start from the back and make the team hard to beat, they lived off that for years under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case the need for deep pockets just got bigger..... sorting out the attack and midfield is a big enough problem but to get a CB that will actually be on a good enough level to maintain their defensive solidity that they had for most of the season will be very difficult.... Not to mention they dont even have a management structure set up in anyway what so ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I simply don't think Gerrard can play in a 442, he'd get outplayed by most teams in this league now. He's a threat and his decision making in the final third is as good as anyone but he can't dictate a game of football. Lucas can't do it all on his own IMO. In this league, you can't afford to carry players on previous/non existant talents and Liverpool simply have too many. Even the fixtures in their team, such as Glenn Johnson have question marks above their heads. I actually think Carroll may be one of the only Liverpool players to come out of next season with any credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So basically their plan for the future is going to depend on what type of manager they get, rather than appointing a manager that fits their plan for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have FSG who are like Commodus (the new Caesar) and Rafa who is our maximus. finally when Maximus (Rafa) and commodus (FSG) meet, commodus will say "What am I going to do with you, you simply won't...die" And then Maximus will pull out his two figurines in this case it is his European cup and FA cup which is all he has to remember us by.. ...and put them on the table and slay commodus and we will all cheer and rejoice.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 How else can they do it? They shouldn't approach anyone in a job unless he's 100% the man they want. To do it any other way is just hugely disrespectful, to expect a manager to put his current job on the line to talk to them and then reserve the right to say no and leave him in the mire. I know this is from a few hours ago, but holding an interview is exactly the way they could find out if the manager is 100% who they want. I don't see it as being disrespectful at all, just thorough, what other job just hires people before even talking to them? Any job where someone is headhunted, which is quite a lot.

Cronky Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The more people they approach, the more it looks like they don't know what they're doing. I can't believe that they didn't see the possibility of sacking Dalglish months ago. They ought to have earmarked their preferred replacement at that point.
