Liverpool. No. Width.

[mynameiswootzeh]

Pushing for a place in the Europa League? If Liverpool fans are content with that then they have low standards.

they HAVE to have low standards after the first half of the season they had, they cant expect to just go straight back into the top 4. Next season sure they can expect all they want.

Yes, and how do you intend on them getting back into the top 4? By buying players? By buying a winger?

The point of the thread is to point out the first that Liverpool have hardly any width. Yes they have low standards this season, but clearly them spending big on 2 strikers shows that they intend of trying to get back to the top, but without players to create chances for these strikers, it's pointless having them which is the point of the thread.

Why do they NEED width? They're doing sufficiently well, winning 3 on the trot without it. Tell me why they NEED width please, all-knowing arsenal fan :rolleyes: (Is there such a thing? lol no)

No team NEEDS width. I'm pretty sure there are tactics such as "counter-attack" and "through balls" which work perfectly well. Yes - going down the line is a good option, but going down the middle, if your players have the skill, is equally good - and Liverpool have that. We don't NEED wingers. We NEED some defenders tbh. Carragher & Kyragiakos (or however you spell his name) will retire soon and we already need a left back as you said.

It's February. We're only 3 points away from 17th.

Wow..

Don't forget the game in hand LOL.

People on this forum are delusional. Kuyt, a wing man, haha yea guys carry on living n cloud nine, ******* clowns.

Omg you just don't get it ANDY CARROLL NEEDS BALLS IN THE BOX. You have no width apart from a full back who can't defend. Its funny actually, watching Soccer Saturday and the 'experts' are saying the exact same that I am. Seems that you and your ******* are in the minority. Glory hunting *******.

You're 3 points off 17th but Birmingham have a game in hand over you.

Anyone can put balls in the box, you don't NEED a winger to do it? :S

[Spuds]

I can't be bothered reading the thread but are people slating Kuyt? He'll be the main man when Carroll is fit, I'd be more scared of him than anyone else. He's better than Nolan and look at the partnership him and Carroll formed. Knock down and tap it in.

Do you really believe Mereiles, Kuyt, Gerrard etc are going to RUN PAST defenders and get a perfect ball in the box? That's not what they specialise in. It's like putting a centre back at left back, it's make shift and just about does a job but is highly risky.

Name one 1 world class side (which is what Liverpool should be aspiring to be), that has no width and nobody on the wings who can run past players.

A world class side needs width, end of. Yes mid table teams can cope without it. There's no point spending millions on Carroll when he's not worth it, and not having anyone to provide for him.

Not having wingers isn't exactly a concern for some teams. Chelsea and Inter get most of their width from overlapping attacking full backs (Maicon, Cole, Bosingwa etc). Chelsea do play people wide, but I wouldn't put Malouda/ Kalou in the same bracket as a Walcott, Johnson, Bale, Lennon, Coleman who I'd decsribe as strict 'wide men'.

Johnson/ Kelly/ Aurelio provide Liverpool with their width. It's not great but it's still width.
