We know of Houllier’s one-dimensional counter attacking style. We know that Rafa prized balance and that Hodgson liked it in the air.

As Liverpool have been lacking a solid gold, copper bottomed source of goals for a few seasons now, it was an obvious place to start for our new manager. Ship Carroll out and replace him with a quality FSG approved signing. Easy. But it wasn’t.

As a Rodgers import, only Allen hasn’t been involved with goal action like the other signings, currently playing with us or otherwise.
