Strikers (Old vs. New)

[Colemere]

think we've always need goals.

Lets buy some new "new strikers" then

So what does Kuyt to better than Cisse? What does Voronin do better than Pongolle? What does Crouch do better than Baros?

As a trio I don't think the current are better than those 4. As for game intelligence, Cisse. Pongolle and Baros won us a European Cup and an FA Cup, they must be really thick *****.

[tommyg]

What a biased question

[magicalbarnes]

You're delusional

Whys that then?

[Rashid]

With regard to the the current strikers I also get why a manager might want Kuyt, Voronin and Crouch, I just hoped that the manager would not be a Liverpool manager but at another club. I don't think any of them are Liverpool 1ST TEAM quality. Nor do I think Cisse/Baros/Pongolle are but I do think they are better than the ones we have now and thats purely down to the fact that I prefer pacey strikers who have reasonable talent.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Cisse, Baros and to a much lesser extent Pongolle are frauds. They can run fast, but they have zero game intelligence, woeful touch, no understanding of the offside rule, no understanding of the word 'team', no ability to link play.............basically they were all ****e.

If pace is really all it takes for a striker to impress you, I imagine you'd be delighted if we signed Marlon Devonish and Dwain Chambers.

Completely agree.

Problem is that Kuyt, Crouch and Voronin really aren't a considerable improvement over them, are they?

as an individual I don't think you can count

the said players where here when we won the European cup and the FA cup but to say they won us it is a bit of a leap.

by the same logic traroe won us a European cup

[Jan Molby]

I voted for the current crop of strikers, although if I had the choice I would have Pongolle instead of Voronin, I ve always liked him, and he could have got more football at liverpool!

[friedk]

I think it's a given that Rafa has finally cracked it by signing (what many people were crying out for for years) a top class striker in Torres. However the jury is out on his other strikers. I don't think Rafa has painted himself with much glory in the way he has handled the strikers he inherited or in the success of the ones he has bought.

I don't think Kuyt, Crouch and Voronin are an improvement on Baros, Pongolle and Cisse not where talent or pace are concerned. In fact one wonders why he has replaced 3 very fats strikers with 3 slow as snails ones. On goal scored I'd guess they are all about equal.

We certainly won more trophies with Baros and Cisse and than we did with Kuyt and Crouch that's for sure.

So which is the better trio?

So wouldn't a better question be which trio best complements Torres?

I can see Torres effective alongside Kuyt, Crouch, Voronin and Flo; but definitely not alongside Baros or Cisse.

mmm, I have to say I have missed you and your points of view Rashid.


not at all you whiny ****er, was hoping you disappeared like lord lucan never to darken our metaphorical doorstep again.

[Zapater]

Even though I would like to have the option of Pongolle for this season the thought of having Cisse's horrendous movement, sulking and rapist of a first touch and Baros getting the ball and looking at his feet not having any idea of what is happening around him leads me to prefer Crouch, Kuyt and Voronin.

Go back to TLW, please

[Morten_nogamst_Pedersen]

Cisse under Rafa is like a shotgun in Dicks Cheneys hands. An accident waiting to happen.

Baros was (and is) a headless chicken. Worst striker of the 6 mentioned.

Pongo never got a real chance. Good little player.

Kuyt, Crouch and Crow is to be prefered, no contest IMO.
