Front threes

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

With Mane, Firmino and Salah having shown us how it’s done, can you imagine some of our previous forwards in a similar formation?

 

For example, could we have played Owen and Fowler either side of Heskey?

 

Barnes, Aldo and Beardsley as a three?

Rush Dalglish Johnston

Berger Baros Smicer

[schmuckdonald]

Gerrard, Torres and Kuyt.

I think Owen on the left, Fowler on the right, Heskey through the middle was a missed opportunity. Would have looked mad at the time (three strikers seemed reckless; and inverting wide players raised eyebrows a couple of years later when Houllier did it with Kewell and Diouf). But with hindsight I think it would have worked brilliantly.

I remember before we played that Finnish side in the UEFA cup qualifier (?), Houllier trolled us all by saying he'd come up with a formation where Fowler, Owen, Heskey, Litmanen and Berger could all play together. Pretty certain they never did.

Not sure Robbie had the pace to play wider at that stage. Also look at the work that Mane and Salah put in to track back, particularly Mane. I love Robbie and Owen was great,but neither are that sort of player.

But that mythical Newcastle performance?

 

I agree with you btw, I mean he was a better player than Diouf, but I wasn't gutted when we didn't end up buying him

This would have been interesting. Heskey was played wide at the time and it ruined his LFC career.

 

Beardsley was a remarkable player, possibly underrated by Liverpool fans due to his exploits at Newcastle, and would have been sensational under Klopp in the Salah role.

 

In most situations, left midfield is the trouble position in the front six

that aside of course, have a DVD of that

Beardsley, Barnes, Houghton. Aldridge on the bench in the Origi role. Barnes as a better Firmino.
