Only two, Ronaldo and Sturridge. Take our penos and Ronaldos is well below 1. Last season Sturridge was the most clinical striker in the history of the Premiership over the course of a season. Breathtaking stuff

That means a lot of time on the bench for Coutinho and Markovic. At least Lallana could probably interchange with Henderson and Allen a bit.
Fescue wrote: » I was just thinking about how Sterling performs so brilliantly in the role behind the front two. If Sterling was to get injured, I actually think Markovic is the perfect replacement.
Harry Palmr wrote: » Might be worth a go all right. That said Markovic could be used in a two up ahead of Sterling in a striker injury crisis. Coutinho's greatest assist last season came playing on the flank of the diamond against Arsenal.
Fescue wrote: » When I read about Markovic before he joined, this was the position many suggested was his best. Behind the striker. The ability to beat players in central midfield and get running at centre backs is such an asset. Seems to cause chaos. The lack of great defensive midfielders helps.

Fescue wrote: » Lets just hope no one thinks of doing that to us. To be fair, there aren't too many players of the quality of Sterling who could play that role. I said it at the start of the season and so far it seems to be happening, Sterling is moving onto another level. If he keeps progressing as he is, I think we Real Madrid will have the most valuable player in their league in 2/3 years.

Not exactly sure what it does mind you. It's something to do with kids.

On that basis you cant predict whos going to be a better option. Both could fail miserably or else Borini may do a Hendo on it and prove people wrong. If he manages to do that I cant see where Lambert will come in, I really dont see him making much of an impact. He did look rather overrawed by it in Pre-Season but thats Pre-Season I suppose. Aspas was a Pre-Season King last season and look how that turned out
