    Have you not got it yet, Suarez is irreplaceable. We're going for the sum of the parts like....

    Well Remy, Lambert and Markovic so far, and Borini if he doesn't feck off to Sunderland! :eek:

    If Sturridge has his usual season with niggly injuries we could struggle with what we have at the moment. I think Sterling will contribute goals at least as much as last season and I'd expect Coutinho to improve his record (wouldn't be hard) but, especially after SAS, it's a good squad but we'd really need 1 more good striker.

    I can see Remy, Sterling and Coutinho getting in or around 10 goals for the season, Sturridge 20 and Remy shouldn't be far of that if gets the game time. It isn't bad but with our leaky defence?

    Benzema, maybe Pogba or Reus. There's 75m to spend.

    I seen that posted during lunchtime and I haven't stopped laughing since. The post by Sir Gallagher was funny enough without the picture. Genuine lols.

    See it very unlikely we will have 4 strikers when we will be playing 1 up top for most of the season. Complete overkill. Sturridge Lambert and Remy between them scored 48 goals last season.

    What?! You can't be happy if those 3 turn out to be your strike force this season. Granted Suarez and Sturridge were the only 2 strikers last year however 4 is a must.

    I would expect Sterling, Markovic, Coutinho, Henderson, Lallana and Gerrard to contribute goals this season also. Sterling in particular could push towards 15 goals if he continues his form.

    Why is 4 a must if we play 433 all season as opposed to 41212 like we did last season ? Borini is also in our squad at present who scored 10 goals for sunderland last year.

    You're hardly going to be playing the same formation every game this season. Also need an extra high quality purchase in case Sturridge gets injured like he always seems too. I can't see Lambert starting many games.

    I don't see scoring goals as being a major problem for Liverpool. Preventing them going in at the other end is my concern.

    Anyone else think that as the season goes on Jordan Ibe will have a bigger and bigger part to play for us. He will obviously get most of the cup games but his pace is on par with walcott and 10-15 mins to go in games he would be a potent option. Starting to deliver an end product too judging by his pre season games.
    He could be like a new signing as could Suso which no one factors into our midfield equation.

    Liverpool scored 53 goals last season of which suarez didnt either score or assist.
    He was a huge player for us but Tottenham scored 55 goals all season and still came 6th in the league. We have plenty of goals throughout the side. The priority for us should be to tighten up our defence.

    This is the thing that worries me the most about Suarez leaving. For all his faults he was a great influence on the younger members of the squad like Sterling. I just hope that his progress doesn't drop off now while he along with others strive to become stars in their own right. Hopefully he, along with others, thrives under the extra pressure.

    Should be fun when RasTa goes into the Arsenal thread to tell them they need another 3 strikers.

    In Ronaldo's final year with United the team scored 68 goals in the league. When he left I'm sure people expected United wouldn't replace his goals but they scored 86 the following season.

    There are no guarantees that will happen with Liverpool post Suarez but usually things like that aren't so simplistic.

    Nope. Remy and Lambert would imo be taking the spots of Aspas and Borini in the back up list.

    I would love to see LFC stick a bid in . If the player won't come in drive the price up .

    If he is considered a striker then I think you can consider Sterling as one also.
