Brendan With regard to your football knowledge could you please see if you can spot the common theme
ST JOHN and HUNT
TOSHACK and KEEGAN
DALGLISH and RUSH
ALDRIDGE and BEARDSLEY
FOWLER and COLLYMORE
OWEN and HESKEY
SUAREZ and STURRIDGE
BENTEKE and ??????????
Strikers fair better as a TWO not ONE on his own, I may upset people here but I would prefer COUTINHO with BENTEKE and not Sturridge. But for gods sake give him a partner ????

Different time now, but very good point and worth thinking about

molbyslotsgoal ,
i see your point but even though its a different time now its still a game of football with the same principles , you get the ball and put it into the goal more times than the team your playing and you win , so nothing has changed that much , our players and the positions they play in ductate we should play a 4-4-2 , and with benteke in the side he has to have a partner because at the moment the same thing is happening to him that happened to mario b , he was left isolated , i wonder with 'BRs arrogance of he knows best if he keeps benteke playing up front on his own and isolated where he will become unhappy and his confidence will go , instead of changing it to suit the players he is trying to get the players to suit his system and its not working that what a different time brings you

I agree 007, I think Benteke has done OK considering how isolated he has been in the current system. I wouldn't have minded losing at United so much if we'd had a right go at them but the whole set-up was so negative. I would give Ings a decent run playing alongside Benteke as a two; if Sturridge can prove his match fitness he then cones into the equation and you can play 2 of those 3 up front in any one game, with Origi as back-up. There seems little point in us having Ings, a decent all round striker, only to play him out of position, but we keep seeing Brendan do this with players, which adds weight to the viewpoint that he can't see what is directly in front of his generously proportioned schnozzle.

So whose Supporting Costa at Chelsea? Do they play with Two strikers? They won the league last season.
And How many strikers are playing at City. They played with Bony yesterday.
You could play 2 strikers up front proivided one being a Suarez / Moratta type player who is much more than just socring goals.
Use Firmino as the second striker if you are so much worried.
{Ed001's Note - what is the relevance? Please Harry close your mouth, the only thing that comes out is crap. You are just a troll as nothing you say is relevant to anything but you.}
16 Sep 2015 08:22:21
Not at all Ed01, Someone said above we need a pair of strikers, And I disagree to it that you need two strikers to pair up. Gerrard / Torres paired up for a season and we were successful.
{Ed001's Note - but you disagreed with a load of crap about other clubs who mostly struggle with one up top. Look at how Chelsea struggle with Costa lacking support, they look awful.}

Whooaaah there ed01 ! Put the handbag down! Haha !!
{Ed001's Note - it is true though, he comments on every post making irrelevant points just to say something. It is trolling and it is annoying and wastes hours of my time dealing with it.}
16 Sep 2015 08:41:32
I am sorry mate, I did no intend to do anything harmful. Sorry for bothering your time.
{Ed001's Note - you just need to take more time about your replies. You rush in and constantly contradict yourself or make points that make no sense, so it becomes a waste of time. If you read it back and have a think about it, then you can explain yourself properly.}

personally i would play firmino up top with benteke as i can't see him being used to his strengths with coutinho preferred as the number 10 role. he is being wasted on the right wing so either switch him to the left or play him as a striker.

What all great strike partnership or lone striker teams have in common is service and a cutting edge and a good final ball. We do not have this.
With players like Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana, Henderson, Milner in the squad the question is why we have no cutting edge or final ball.
Beneteke will get some goals but him, Sturridge, INgs or Origi will all look isolated and poor until this is sorted out, whether in a 1 or a 2
