Fabio Borini

[Zapater]

Definitely, we're looking worryingly thin in attacking areas. I've been encouraged by Borini, his intelligence and movement impresses me even though he's been lacking in tangible outcome. Think he should come good, this injury is the last thing he needed. Terrible timing.

Suarez has also picked up quite a few bookings so far this season so he'll be receive a ban soon.

So, Gerrard as a false nine? I'd take that.

[Fernandinho]

borini might be a good striker for us some time in the future, but he isnt the goal poacher we need right now. its a shame he is injured, but its a perfect time to bring in a couple of the young lads. they would struggle to score much less than fabio has.
seeing how the other young lads have stepped up will surely give them more desire and determination to make this chance count.

He is only just older than 20, and considering morgan and yesil are already integrated are you thinking of bringing Jamie Carraghers lad to the first team??

Brenda must swallow his pride and recall Andy Carroll.

How? He can't until Jan.

Andy Carroll would add nothing to the team

We could be playing the Spanish formation of 4-6-0 soon enough!

Still an improvement on Hodgson's 10-0-0.

After the massive **** up that was transfer deadline day, we were always going to need some incredible luck to make it through to January unscathed. Luck has been in short supply these past few years, so no surprises that we're down to just 1 recognised striker in the entire squad. Madness

I remember reading a quote from Benitez where he said that he believed that Gerrard might become a centre forward towards the end of his career. Not sure whether it would work or not, but it would be interesting to see.

Agreed on that. Great player for a mid table side that is set up to bombard the opposition box with crosses and high balls but he possesses neither the technical ability or the footballing intelligence to make it work.

i think you know what i mean, i didnt say younger

yesil, morgan, ngoo, etc will all come in and do as good or better than borini has so far

I've mentioned that a couple of times, but searched everywhere for the quote/article since and could never find it.

Started to wonder if I'd just imagined it as no one else ever seemed to recall.

I'd love to see Gerrard as striker. Talksport have mentioned it too http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/...rard-an-182987

Ooh, don't remember reading that before but it could certainly work.

At the moment he's not doing quite enough in midfield (imo), but he can score goals as we know. We could play Allen, Sahin and Shelvey or Henderson in midfield and push Gerrard up top. Got to be worth a thought.
