this is awesome were did you get this from ?

Jesus ****ing christ

Any criticism or negativity towards a player is jumped on as though you are writing him off

Hes played a part in 3 games been largely anonymous but thats about as far as my assessment has gone

I havent written him off by any means yet

You drove your Opinion Truck off the road and into the lake Your ****ing Wrong ... and sunk all the way to the bottom

Shamelessly stolen from Twitter but it is originally from the Anfield Index I believe.

Incredibly detailed statistics there, the sysytem was probably designed by Rafa

He's a bit wasted on the wing isn't he? Not that he was bad there, but I think he'd be much more effective closer to goal the way Suarez was. It was against Arsenal though so understandable. Would definitely like to see us try him in a 2 with Benteke against lesser sides

[Shaggy]

His best position definitely seems to be off a striker (never seen him play before we signed him but most regular German football watchers say off a striker is his position).....but it's difficult to see him getting many, if any, chances in that position.

Why not?

[Shaggy]

Why not?

Because I think we'll, more often than not, play 4-3-3.

I suppose if we play a diamond or 4-2-3-1 then that position becomes a factor. We could stick Firmino behind a striker with Coutinho deeper. I prefer Coutinho in that number 8 type of position anyway.

Could be interesting to see what Brendan does when Sturridge returns.

Sturridge - Benteke
Firmino
Coutinho - Milner - Henderson

Could be a way to shoehorn them all into the side, but that's vulnerable in midfield and leaves out Can and Lucas, and Lallana, and Ibe, and Markovic, and Allen, and Origi, and Ings

Strength in depth bitches!

I think perceptions are skewed by unrealistic expectations. He isn't really the guy to beat two or three and stick it in the net. Was good vs Stoke, quiet against Bournemouth and solid against arsenal.

He is a great team player though and I'm pretty sure he will succeed here.

From the way we've played the first three games I think the "masterplan" is a midfield of Henderson and Milner with Coutinho ahead, and a front three of Benteke central, Sturridge left and Firminho right. We'll sometimes play a diamond, and sometimes a 4-2-3-1 but that 4-3-3 looks like this year's plan A to me.

Personally, at home I'd like to see a diamond with Can/Lucas behind Milner and Henderson, and with Coutinho behind 2 up front against all but the best sides.
