Aguero likewise. I really think you're making more of it than what's there. Just 3 excellent footballers. Agree with that. I’d say the best 3 in this country.

He's forward, it's fairly irrelevant if his starting position is central or slightly wider, he plays off the shoulder of the last man, he comes across the pitch, he's just a forward player, same as Messi Messi plays on the shoulder of the last man?

Lucas Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Benteke (to score once more before the season ends) Come on Christian, remember it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Slow and steady win's the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 1 hour ago, LFCMadLad said: So basically what everyone is saying is that Salah drifts? Well that only proves my point further that he is the best all round player as he can take up multiple positions, play them at a high standard, and still put up world class numbers. How much did he cost you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think Rodgers only bought Benteke for his physique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Rodgers did a whole lot of thinking when making signings for us in a post-Suarez world, tbh. Lost a mad bastard striker... better sign Balotelli as a replacement. Balotelli ended up being shite and lazy? Better sign Benteke, who's arguably even less suited to our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Rodgers, Firmino and Lallana were very different players to how they were under Klopp. But at least Firmino and Lallana fit into the squad better, as opposed to Balotelli and Benteke. Probably a good thing we had a transfer committee rather than letting one man, with pretty limited experience, make the signings at the time. Because Klopp salvaged a number of them.

Burning Gold Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The consensus among our reliables at the time was that Firmino was a committee signing while Benteke was Rodgers'. Apparently Rodgers had to sign off on Firmino to be granted Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho was signed under Rodgers as well wasn't he? Clyne is decent too. Speaking of Klopp and salvaging, he destroyed Sakho, who was also a good Rodgers signing.

It was never Sakho's talent that was in question to Klopp, it was his professionalism. Constantly turning up late to training, starting pre-season well overweight (after getting suspended for being on fat burners... even if those fat burners weren't illegal). Coutinho and Sturridge were both Rodgers' signings. But if you'll see what I said initially about Rodgers' signings, it's the post-Suarez world where I think he lost the plot. Suarez and Sturridge were a big part of us looking good under Rodgers, and he deserves credit for that. But they also papered over a lot of the cracks the side had under his tactics, and these were largely ignored despite the fact that Suarez no longer being in the team clearly changed our entire system.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 13, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted February 13, 2018 Salah clearly plays in a different position to Kane and Aguero but it isn't like he's playing as a winger either. He's still playing off the shoulder of the defender, he's just doing it from a wider position. It's a system that's suited him perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It is a very weak argument to state that 'Kane wouldn't do what Salah does in his position'. The same is true for the reverse, not only that but it's a pointless debate as nobody would be complaing about '[how] isn't fair to have Frank Lampard on here because he is a midfielder'. The fact remains that Salah is goal scorer, ergo he is in the discussion. If Fernando Hierro (CB/DM) were still scoring 20+ goals a year, we'd include him, no? This is probably the most asinine debate I've ever seen on a football forum since the ye olde 'shirt tucked in/tucked out wars'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
