Danny Ings

It is worrying because our forwards will be kept under a closer watch than those at Burnley, it takes a lot more to suceed at a bigger club.

Kuyt was great

I always thought the difference between a decent player and a great one was the level of concistency. As we've found out over the years to an infuriating degree is that every man and his dog at premiership level is capable of the odd game where they look like world beaters.

Too many players from that midtable level make the step up and never kick on and find that consistency. One good game every three is no good. If they're used sparingly, even less chance of seeing anything half decent.

I am 100% confident not one on this site or Twitter has watched every single game for Ings, so it's difficult to say of he regularly churns out decent performances. I've seen him stand out as a class above in some games I've seen, but I don't know if he regularly shines.

I guess the same could be said of any signing, including players like Firmino. Over a 38 game period in a season I'm sure we could find enough flashes of class to fill up a four minute video on most players playing at the top level.

I alluded to Kuyt in my last post, and he was the perfect example of a top level player. Reliability, performed every game to a decent level. He didn't have that X factor like a Suarez, but his mind set it what you need of players coming to Liverpool.

It's not just working hard, it's performing under pressure and to a good standard every week. Erik Meijer was garbage. He worked as hard as anyone, people say he treated reserve games like a World Cup final. Great attitude, but sadly not good enough.

I think we are starting to sign players with the right attitude, now it's down to them having the mindset to step up.

I read he's cutting short his holiday so he can get started at LFC. Lambert did that too, worked out well

Right attitude, ability wise let's wait and see.

Ings misses a fairly easy chance, should have done a lot better.

[RichC]

Yeah not the greatest of finish that.

[Shaggy]

Weaker foot but it was pretty poor.

[RichC]

On a plus point good to see the awareness to get into the position for the attempt.

[Paddy]

Yeah good run, should have went across the keeper. Not a bad game so far though.
