The Torres/Gerrard Dilemma

ok now this is a subject ive wanted to post about for the past few weeks and if iam honest iam sick of hearing about it cause it just makes us sound like we have gone from a 1 man team to a 2 man team and that just aint so.....

now here are my points 1st off iam gonna go back a few years to when judas used to play for us,now him and gerrard had an understanding just like torres/gerrard have now yet we played with 2 strikers and half the time gerrard was used as a defensive midfilder or a right winger so if that worked to great effect whats the difference now.ok move forward to today or the start of the season or last season now gerrard and both torres spent time on the sideline and at times we struggled and when they were in the squad we didnt but here is my gripe i belive that if gerrard was to drop into the vacent spot left by xabi(if sold) then i still beilve the torres gerrard combination will be just as effective....

i belive we posses the players in the squad that if we dont sign a 2nd real striker that can fill in that hole,kuyt i think could be ideal people may laugh but i think he can and when gerrard was out and he did play in that role he was quite effective,he dosnt have the pace witch dosnt matter when you play behind the striker with pace,plus when he has the ball defenders will come to him createing space for torres to glide into,now this is gonna shock a few people includeing myself i cant belive iam about to type it but yossi could also play that role there i said it.....

now alot of this rests or hinges on xabi being sold and if he is we have to use that money to buy a 2nd striker, you cannot win the prem with 1 real out an out striker ill say it again YOU CANNOT WIN THE PREM WITH 1 STRIKER,this is not about the combination of 2 players this is about what is best for the team and with gerrard back in the middle and a 2nd stirker next to torres that is whats better for the team and it wont effect the torres gerrard combination,gerrard is far better goin forward than xabi so its not gonna weaken anythink yet fans seem to think it will and i just dont see it.....

i like the next man woman or child luv to see them playin together but i just think long term it will benifit the team a great deal more with a striker partner for torres and gerrard bossing the midfield and createing for both and terroriseing teams more from his real postion....

Too much talk about the gerrard/torres partnership.

love the partnership but we need other striking options too.

  Spot on mate, personally i don't want Xabi sold but if he is and Rafa moves Gerrard back in the middle with Mascherano then i have no problem as they would find it a bit more harder to pick a player up from a deeper position and Gerrard will become more dangerous from that position. The midfield wont become dis jointed if this was to happen, Babel/Kuyt or Yossi on the right also any ot these 3 can play behind Torres and Riera/Yossi/Babel or Aurellio on the left of midfield.
