No point in firepower if we don't have the midfield to impose ourselves in a game.
midfield is important, granted, but like Brendan says, firepower is key.
No point in firepower if we don't have the midfield to impose ourselves in a game.
No point in firepower if we hardly ever have the ball.
Our attack is easily stronger than our midfield. We have the likes of coutinho, sturridge and currently suarez. Now look at our midfield of lucas, allen, gerrard and henderson. Only one of them is real top quality and he's getting old now and yet we're still so reliant on him in midfield. Spurs have a adebayor and defoe who were both shit last season, but it was their midfield which was their strong point. Yes Bale is their main man in midfield, but he has licence to drive forward because of players like dembele, sandro (and now paulinho) who all do the defensive side of things as well as being able to impose themselves in games.
Suarez has one of the worst conversion rates among top strikers out there. I can score 51 goals in 96 games too if I take enough shots...
I can't believe Rosco think he's better than Suarez.
No one said it (goals per shots) isn't important, it just isn't the whole picture and the fact he gets so many chances is because he's so creative and his movement is excellent, it's not to compensate, it's just his game. It's a fair observation with some important insight into his abilities as a clinical striker, but it's not the complete story of him as a player and how that dilutes his contribution or his threat. He's still just scored 50 odd goals in next to no time, in comparison to some fucking great players, so at the end of the day, the end product is still there. Andy Cole won the league and scored bucket loads for United but wasn't half the player Suarez was and was even more erratic infront of goal, do you think he or the fans gave a fuck?
If me and Whirly played up front we'd win the league
