I think Borini will come into a front 3 beside suarez and sturridge, because its not ideal for 18 yr old sterling to play the majority of games this season and also because Suarez will probably play left of sturridge but be allowed to do pretty much what he wants and so Borini would give better balance with his work ethic, even though Raheem is also quite good at tracking back but again he shouldn't be over played and so i imagine he will make more appearances from the bench.

I want to see much more than movement from this lad. I think his movement has been vastly overstated, running around doesn't equate to intelligent movement and even if it did (which it doesn't in Borini's case) then I'd question how much of that movement has equated to anything positive at all? Surely we didn't pay £12m for a good mover?! I want to see him score a few goals because as a striker then that's what we ultimately want him to do? Anybody can run around aimlessly and some people will say it's purposeful and some people will laugh at that suggestion. There must be a footballer there for Rodgers to spend £12m on him so hopefully some of his ability will reveal itself when he's fit again to run around.

When people are talking about being impressed with Borinis movement I'm pretty sure they are not praising him for 'running around aimlessly'.Originally posted by TheElephantMan View PostI want to see much more than movement from this lad.

He definitely got into a number of good goalscoring positions, unfortunately his composure or/and technique let him down. But some of those chances were created by him managing to get himself space in the box or behind defenders etc. People are acknowledging this and highlighting it as one of his positives. I'm not saying he's going to come back from injury and start banging them in, but from his limited appearances I think that there were more positives than many of us are giving him credit for.Originally posted by TheElephantMan View PostI want to see much more than movement from this lad.

Regardless another fit player and perhaps more importantly a different kind of player to what we have being fit is always a positive.

The first thing he said when he signed Sturridge was that you can play 4-3-3 with a narrow three. I think he'll us it - don't think that lack of a natural winger is a problem with fullbacks that bomb on. more or less makes a strength of the defensive weakness we have at leftback.Originally posted by Mostar View PostIt would be interesting to see them all 3 start and who would play in the middle but it is very unlikely.
BR likes to play with at least 1 (sometimes 2) wingers and it's more likely to see Suarez and Sturridge playing with Sterling and Borini coming from the bench.. For now.
I can see your point though. I guess all I'm really saying is that Rodgers is quite a young manager so it isn't clear that what we have seen are all the tactical variations he actually thinks might work."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

I think we have a flexible enough system that any one of them can play any of the roles, and they will frequently switch during games.Originally posted by yamiedo View PostWe have 3 strikers all wanting to play down the middle and don't mind playing wider. Interesting.Last edited by Exiled_red; 09-01-13, 07:49 PM.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

Originally posted by Baracus View PostJust a reminder he has great movement too
Dan, Fabio, Luis
It will be a mess for defenders. Spaghetti junction stuff

Utd Paniced, the defense, the midfield did not know what too do. Fully fit and raring to go this trio could be lethal. Get Gerrard Behind them and Goals from Midfield. Johnson and Enrique on the wings now were talking.
