Yes, but my point was that he doesn't play a CF role (I never said he didn't play in the middle). When he was playing with Villa, Villa was playing in the traditional CF position, yet it was Messi grabbing the goals. The point is that Suarez needn't be less effective or less of a threat just because he isn't leading the line.
Villa played out on the left most of the time.
You're still rather spectacularly missing the point.
Heh. Just because I don't acknowledge it doesn't mean I don't get it.
In theory Suarez can be very effective in a floaty role starting out wide. Whether theory will turn out to be reality we shall have to see. Hopefully it will all be good.
Was quite good in practise at Ajax.
I think people can get bogged down with starting positions. As Rodgers has said, he likes players who can play in multiple positions, so I suspect they'll be a fair bit of swapping around, even within games. I think the most important thing is that we have three players in the final third who can actually score goals. What's more, I think Suarez will score from any of the front three positions, cos he's different class.
So was Ryan Babel?
I suppose it is a lefty playing on the right and vice versa so they tend to cut in rather than hug the touchline. That's only a guess like.
Not really . He was a one trick pony who started out left and cut in to the middle EVERY SINGLE TIME. You may have seen this move in a red shirt.
Luiz will be great wherever he plays.
He scores and creates from out wide on both sides of the pitch regularly. A non-issue for me.
My main concern is Rodgers, as usual, telling all and sundry every possible tactic he might employ. He sure enjoys pontificating and hearing the sound of his own voice. Name me one other top manager that spells out what he's going to do to opposing mangers all the time. It's weird. If a journalist asked him his exact tactics and formation for the United game I would not be at all surprised if he spells it out exactly.
I agree about Rodgers mouthing off about it. Although I'm hoping there's something more behind it than just telling people what he's thinking. It may be that he wants to give Sturridge an early confidence boost, and is as confident as you and I that Suarez will be largely unaffected by it.
Can anyone explain to me what the hell a reverse winger is ?
Ha, no mate, I've genuinely not heard the term before
mouriniho does it all the time doesnt he? dont think it's an issueLuiz will be great wherever he plays.

Quit moaning ffs.It's mad that we've been crying out for a winger for years and now we have a real one. It's mad that we cried out for pace for years and we now have it in abundance. It's mad that we've needed two goalscoring forwards in the side for a long long time and we now have them.
It's mad that we still, not matter the fuck what, STILL find something to pick holes with and have a good moan about!
Except Maureen has won everything in the game over and over again and different clubs. Our manager has won nowt so far. We'll see.mouriniho does it all the time doesnt he? dont think it's an issue

No - it stayed 2-1 because we missed some very good chances in that first half, that is really poor excuse Modo. My boy Downing could have had some more assists to his name BUT for bad finishing by some of our so called strikers, and goal-scorers. Please don't forget that the team we played is so down below us that I was actually shocked to learn the score was 2-1. That's the margin and score of last year against Manchester United.The only reason it stayed 2-1 was because of that God awful pitch.
