Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Borini is all about movement and finishing, works hard with decent technique and pace. Good player tbh and will provide a better outlet for Suarez to link up with, the issue Liverpool has is that they will probably play 4-3-3 and the other wide player in the front 3 will be Downing Along with the obvious lack of attacking threat from midfield that has already been mentioned.

That's exactly what I saw yesterday in their game. I think I posted somewhere that with an upgrade on Downing they would look seriously good going forward. However, if they're relying on Downing and then Gerrard gets injured (eminently likely) then it falls apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm very impressed with West Ham getting Alou Diarra btw. A Diarra-Diame midfield sounds great, they'll comfortably stay up this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Aye, i can see them being comfortable also-rans with metronomic regularity. Such a typically 'meh' London club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Good signings tbh, especially considering when if they want to play Nolan he will need a lot protection behind him. I still think they will struggle though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Joe Allen is a £6m player max IMO, but he'll be a fair upgrade on Shelvey/Adam/Henderson. Rogers is playing a 4-2-3-1 this season by the looks of things with Lucas and Allen sitting and Gerrard pushed forward behind Suarez. Shelvey's a decent footballer but Allen is definitely more developed and suited to play next to Lucas, who is a very good tactical midfielder. Overpaying but he'll improve them.

SEMTEX Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Leaving Chelsea with striking options of: 9 FW Fernando Torres 23 FW Daniel Sturridge and a million attacking midfielders. And Sturridge is hardly a dedicated centre forward. And Torres has been donkey bollocks for over a year now. I would mock, but it makes me think they've got something up their sleeves, cos Lukaku looked pretty solid vs MLS All Stars. Like a young Didier Drogba even. Though the comparisons to Didier Drogba are laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
