The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I do, yeah.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I just think that football can, in some ways, it's very complicated and very complex in terms of the tactics.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

In other ways, it is just, well, actually, 10 years ago, if you wanted to play a high line against Liverpool, we could just ping a ball over the top and Salah and Mane will run onto it.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

So if we don't allow you to compress the game, then all of a sudden there's more space for the midfielders and people aren't getting caught on the ball and

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

A lot of players will actually look a lot better off the back of that.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

So yeah, I do think it has to be that.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

It's sort of parallels I draw.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

It's quite similar to actually when Jurgen first came in this first season.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure we'll play the Europa League final in Basel with a front three of Lallana, Coutinho and Firmino.

The Anfield Wrap

Benteke is around but not playing a game.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Sturridge starts.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

He does start, yes, you're right.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

It must have been at another stage.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Origi's coming back.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

But even by that point, Sturridge was struggling with injuries and his body had changed compared to when he came in in 2013 and he was rapid and you could get him in behind all the time.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

But the point was we very much needed pace.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Obviously that summer we signed Mane, but then when Mane goes away to AFCON it was right back to what we had, no pace on the team, what do we do?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

And then Salah comes in and you've got the two of them and most of the time they're both available, but even if one's out, well you still actually have that thread in behind.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

So it does have to be at least two, probably three, and I know we're going to talk about some of the names and certainly the Dame Andy link is one we're going to have to spend quite a lot of money on.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Barcola, if we were to get him, we'd have to spend quite a lot of money as well.
