Agreed, he should be through the middle, his runs off the ball and his overall movement is excellent, but his all round game isn't good enough to see him play effectively outwide. I thought he linked up well a few times yesterday, but anyway. I can see why there would be concerns, but he's young and playing in the wrong position, IMO.
He needs to have a run in the centre, he creates space well by running into the right areas at the right time & knows whee to be to score, it's just not clicking yet.
I have hope, but Rodgers needs to persist with him in the centre, whether the lack of goals & points make that possible is another matter.

I'm in this boat too.
I don't know if he was instructed to though, but Borini kept pulling inside and Suarez dropped deep to play in behind a fair bit (and played some outstanding balls through as a result).
Yeah, I think suarez in that role is a lot more effective, but it means you need another player or two to be more creative upfront.
Yup, I just think he needs a goal or two

I said after 1 game I thought he should play centrally and Suarez should play wide left and Sterling wide right and haven't seen anything to change my mind.
His first touch is suspect, he can't beat a man, never crosses and likes to drift all over the place. His movement off the ball is excellant in terms of his timing of his runs and the purpose of them. He doesn't just run screaming for the ball for the sake of it, he does it to take defenders away and create space. No better example can be seen for Shelvey's goal the other night.
Suarez on the other hand can do all things he can't so the swap should be almost automatic at this stage.
Fletcher 12M, bargain Borini 10M. Those laughs seem to have dried up.
I think he looks a decent player, no more no less. He was central when he took that through-ball from Suarez and his first touch took it out to the corner flag. Looks a bit panicky to me. Am sure he'll have some good days though.
That first touch was rotten luck, TBF.
He will be OK, the main part of the issue is he has been dropped in at the deep end because of incompetence in the transfer window, and has too much of a burden of responsibility for a young lad at a new club.
They all need a few less frantic games than what we have had recently.

Pah, that Fletcher's average. He scores loads of goals but they're all average goals.
He's Scottish, used to play in the Scottish Leagues, and played for Wolves so he can't be any good at football.
It wasn't, it was just a bad first touch.
He's gonna be great!
It was.
