SUAREZ / STURRIDGE OR BOTH ??

Brendan Rodgers has warned that Daniel Sturridge's debut goal is just the beginning and expects Liverpool's new signing to strike up a prolific partnership with Luis Suarez. 

He was replaced by Suarez after 55 minutes but Rodgers is excited by the prospect of the pair playing up front together. 

Rodgers went on to say 

 "They can play together, there's no problem with that,"

 Rodgers said. "Obviously we want to fit in good players and that's the most important thing, to keep the squad strong and build up a competitive group.

 So how will it pan out? 

Will Suarez drop deeper into a free roaming role giving Sturridge the central striker role? That would make sense …..But the only problem with that is Suarez will be more restricted to what he can and cannot do.

As it stands now Suarez plays exactly the way he wants to with great effect. But playing with Sturridge in a central attacking role he will have to be a lot more structured. He will have to give cover in a defensive mid-field role or the team will be vulnerable.

 If Suarez can take that added structure into his play the partnership will work all day long. But for me that is the danger of the two of them playing together. The perfect outcome is that the two of them can switch from attacking to a slightly deeper role or wider role intermediary. That would give defenses a real head ache. But I am not sure Sturridge is fit enough to do that …one for the future.

As for Sunday’s game which way will Rodgers go?

 Will he start with the two Strikers or will Sturridge be brought on as needed. That is the million dollar question, the one that whisky nose will be the most aware of. But for the first time in a long time Liverpool will have that attacking option.

Whatever he decides to go with I am a 100% sure we will have a real go. The Man United midfield has been at best poor this year. Relying on veterans like Giggs and Scholes. I hope he plays Scholes he has red card written all over him. More so if we play with 2 strikers with Suarez playing deeper.

 

With a good result on Sunday every think will be turned on its head …..With dare I say it again a top four finish not out of the Question…….So Reds prepare your excuses to throw a sickie for work on Monday it could be the party after Christmas …..JF96 ….YNWA
