Liverpool FC Player to Watch

Liverpool FC Player to Watch 

Author : Andryan Dedy 

Here are the list of Liverpool Player that we should watch it progress, they would make a breakthrough and make a significant impact to the team.

1. Raheem Sterling

Believe me, it is not just you, all of Liverpool fans are surprised when Raheem started against City. he is still 17 years old but he already proved during the match against City and Arsenal, that he can do it. he was something else, he managed to break down Toure,Zabaleta, and Jenkinson, the more experience player than him.

He will have a big part this season, No doubt that he will become the next Liverpool Star, Something that always been missing in Liverpool, the left winger. Since the era of John Barnes, Liverpool didn't have any more good left winger. Raheem might be the answer to this Liverpool problem

2. Joe Allen

Joe has managed the expectation of all the critics for him. Being bought with a fee of 15 million pounds, some people do wonder if he's worth that much. but now, with only three premier league matches, he proved that he could be one of the best midfielder in the world. 

His passing accuracy was admirable, he could also tackle well and has a good understanding to control the game from the back. Something that Liverpool been missing when Lucas was injured. but now, Liverpool are lucky enough to have Allen and Lucas, two of the best DMF in EPL. and if nothing goes wrong, Allen could even become the best player for Liverpool this season.

3. Jonjo Shelvey

Jonjo Shelvey, the young midfield has already proved to fans and managers that he deserved a place in Liverpool Starting XI, he managed to replace the regular position of Henderson. Brendan prefer to play him, and you can see why. He remind us to the young Steven Gerrard. Brave, Strong, he can pass, he can shoot, all the attribute needed to become good Attacking Midfielder.

Brendan itself changed his mind to loan him out this season after seeing his performance during the America Tour. Nobody couldn't doubt that Jonjo will become Liverpool's important player this season.

4. Fabio Borini

The Hard-working young versatile striker. "The fans will loved him", said Brendan.

He only managed to score one goal in his earlier career, but he has the ability, technique, and mentality to become a big player for Liverpool. All he need is time and he will bang to score for the reds. he is a good finisher, someone that we need to fix our goal-scoring problem.

5. Nuri Sahin

Being Abandoned by Real Madrid, Sahin will try to prove that he is not over. He will play for the best for Liverpool as he stated before that he wants to play football. he even didn't rule out the chance of permanent moved to Liverpool if he satisfied enough with the club.

There is still long way to go for Sahin, but he has time. There is something in him that makes Brendan and Wenger want him. As a supporter, we can only believed that he will be back to his performance in Dortmund.

6. Adam Morgan

He is one of Liverpool prospective striker from academy. Already featured in Europa League campaign with Liverpool first team, he has the talent to be Liverpool's Future Striker. His goal scoring record in the academy was frightening, he even  managed a record to score in 10 games in a row.

The local Scouser who Grow up idolizing Gerrard, Carra, and Xabi, will determine to prove that he can become the next Liverpool Hero. he will get his chance as Liverpool failed to land more striking force in the end of transfer window.

7. Suso

He was Disappointed, because he being left out by Brendan after stunning performance during the America tour. He can be deployed as CMF, AMF, or even WG/SS. his versatility was superb. He has a good technique and vision.

Another youngster that might be benefited because the failure to land another striker. he will get his chance and prove that he can also be the next Liverpool Star. 

That's all my thought ... what about you ??? any comment ... ??

Central Midfield Squad Depth

The "Fat" Central Midfield

This title sum up the fans confusion of why Liverpool brought so many central midfield in the team.  Liverpool bought in Joe Allen and Nuri Sahin to join the the team that already has Steven Gerrard, Lucas Leiva, Jordan Henderson, Jonjo Shelvey, Charlie Adam, and Jay Spearing: Total of 8 player in Central Midfield Position.

For those who think that this amount of player in central midfield position is too much, Let's just first break down the Liverpool Strategy; they used mainly 4-3-3 formation which require ONLY three central midfield. popular choice to fill that position is Lucas, Sahin, and Gerrard. then you might be wonder when and where will Jordan, Jonjo, Joe, Charlie, and Jay would play? the answer is the squad rotation and squad depth. we need this amount of quality midfield to compete on the top level just like United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham.

Let's count how many central midfield that this five top premier league have:

Man Utd: Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Cleverly, Fletcher, Powell, Giggs = 7 player while they only play with 2 central midfield in 4-4-2 formation

Man City: Milner, Yaya Toure, Rodwell, Barry, De Jong, Nasri, Silva = 7 player while they usually play with 3 or 2 midfield in 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation (Nasri, Silva, and Toure as AMF in 4-3-3 formation)

Arsenal: Diaby, Rosicky, Ramsey, Wilshare,Ramsey, Arteta, Coquelin, Frimpong, = 8 player in Central Midfield position to play in 4-3-3 formation

Chelsea: Essien, Romeu, Lampard, Oscar, Mikel, Meireles, Marin, Ramires, Malouda = 9 player in Central Midfield position to play in 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation

Tottenham: Livermore, Parker, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, VDV, Gylfii, Rose = 8 player in Central Midfield to play in 4-5-1 in which only require 3 midfield

To Sum up, All those top team has abundance of quality central midfield to compete in BPL.

For Liverpool to have 8 Central Midfield, i think it is enough to compete with the top 4 team. We don't have to worry anymore if one of our player are injured. for example Lucas who injured last season make us struggle to find the replacement that has the same quality as him.

My Analysis of Liverpool 3 Main Midfield.

the 3 midfield consist of 1 Defensive Midfield, 1 Central Midfield, and 1 Attacking Midfield.

Defensive Midfield: Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen, Steven Gerrard, and Jay Spearing

Analysis: the priority for this position is Lucas Leiva, he is the best player in this position, second is Joe Allen (in case of Lucas injured) which proved against city that he is a quality player in that position, Third in case of unavailable Lucas and Allen, Gerrard should fill in that position, he has a decent tackle and has a good vision. Lastly is Jay Spearing in which are a good player but i think is not good enough for Liverpool.

Central Midfield: Nuri Sahin, Joe Allen, Jonjo Shelvey, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam.

Analysis: There is no need to explain that Nuri Sahin and Joe Allen will compete to grab this position, they both are the best player that Liverpool have to fulfill those responsibility in that position, their backup in that position would be Jonjo and then Jordan. and Last priority is the sloppy Charlie Adam.

Attacking Midfield: Steven Gerrard, Jonjo Shelvey, Charlie Adam.

Analysis: Only three player is capable enough for this role. No doubt about Gerrard Quality in this position. and again Adam is the last favorable player to fill this position

"Whatever it takes to make Liverpool successful again, My Live is devoted, it's all part of the dance" Brendan Rodgers

Joe Allen: Rodger's Missing Pieces

Joe Allen: Rodger's Missing Pieces 

His Name is Joe Michael Allen, the 22 years old Welsh Midfielder who used to play for Swansea City is now a Liverpool player. After months of speculation, he finally complete his moves to Liverpool just after he finished represent the Great Britain team with a fee around £15,000,000. he was given long-five years contract with 40,000 pounds wages per week. What a bargain for this young talented midfielder !!

Few of you might be wondering what's so special about this so called "Allen".

The answer is that he might be the missing pieces that we need in order to get into the next level. His style of play is the mixture between Xavi and Iniesta. His simple passing is the key to link between the midfielder and forward, not to mention he is also like to penetrate into the opponent penalty box. Allen also has a decent shooting and tackling. If I have to gave him a rate, i would give an A for his short passing, B- for his long passing, B- for his shooting, B for his speed, and lastly B+ for his tackling. 

His position in the Liverpool starting Lineup would be in the midfield of 3 that Brendan would implement along with Stevie and Lucas. the simplest illustration that i could tell is by using Barcelona's sample. Imagine Lucas as Busquets, Gerrard as Iniesta, and Allen as Xavi. those player has their own role in the midfield which would collaborate and compliment each other. While on the bench we still have Jordan, Jonjo, Jay, and Charile (Sahin on the way) it will only then bring good to Liverpool, we would have plenty of option in the midfield in case some of them are injured. Those are needed to be competitive and hopefully we could grab the Champions League position.

My Last message here is not to get carried away with expectation to this young lad, he's still 22 and have a long way to go to prove his worth. But one thing for sure he has the talent. Brendan believe in him and that's what matters. we must support our manager decision. YNWA!!!

JOE ALLEN TO LIVERPOOL FC ???

Liverpool fc now try to force Swansea to release Joe Allen by making bid £15m, it triggered the release clause in Joe Allen contract. The transfer should complete soon, and Joe will be the second player bought by Brendan Rodger.

The 22 year old reportly had already talk with Huw Jenkins, the Swansea chairman, and will be had meeting together with the manager, Michael Laudrup on thursday.

But Liverpool FC, with the ex Swansea manager, Brendan Rodgers, very confident that they can proceed the deal quickly. The Deal beetween two clubs already start about two weeks ago, but all Liverpool FC offers, had been all rejected by Swansea.

Rodger say, that he is very interesting in Joe Allen, its about a month ago, when he said ' He is a very talented players, and everyone knows it."

Joe Allen is already returned to Swansea training ground on wednesday, following his involvement in Olympic Football tournament with Team GB.

Well is Joe Allen worthed by £15m ?? i'm very affraid that is only another flop transfer, like Jordan Henderson, Downing or Carroll. But we all already know, how Joe become a Key player for Swansea last season under Rodger management.

But this is Liverpool FC, can Joe Allen quickly blend with the team ? while Henderson, Carrol, Downing, Adam, they all fail to quickly contributed for Liverpool FC.

The only positive thing is that Joe Allen already know Brendan Rodger style of play, so this can be a positive too for team.
