Good attitude, top work rate and clever movement. We used to say the exact same about Fabio Borini.

At one stage Borini was our 2nd choice striker and had 25 games and scored 2. Ings played 10 and also scored 2.

Let's see what happens at the end of the season.

Ings is a better player than Borini.

There isn't much in it to be honest. Think people are going a little overboard because of the tough time he's been through and the fact he's a likeable lad. I hope he gets his career back on track but I think he'll be gone next season if we can bring in another player for the front 3.

Love his attitude and workrate and really want him to do well but as yet i'm not convinced at all by his finishing

I'd prefer to keep Origi if its a choice between the 2

Not being a dick

You sure?

Given that he is well down the pecking order, having someone with that work ethic and as much experience as he has in that position is fine. He is a useful squad member. He is not in the first XI, but today s determined to push for that place. Replacing him is far from our top transfer priority.

thats a good summary

i was having a pint with my brother watching the game, we were dying for him to score.

he made a good point that if we got someone else in there they would probably kick off they aren't getting first team football but he kind of knows his role and is a decent back up.

he is definitely ahead of solanke at the minute in my opinion

I think it's hard to judge Danny at the moment, without him getting extended runs in the team. Someone mentioned where do you swap from considering him unlucky to wasteful in front of goal.

He's made 4 appearances (albeit minor minutes) this season, has 4 shots and 0 goals.
https://www.premierleague.com/players/8245/Danny-Ings/stats?co=1&se=79

Would we class Mo Salah as wasteful in front of goal?
He's had 30 appearances, 118 shots and 28 goals. He averages just over 4 shots per goal.
https://www.premierleague.com/players/5178/Mohamed-Salah/stats?co=1&se=79

I think his work rate is obvious for everyone to see and the fact that in his minor appearances he has, like Salah has, put himself in positions to have chances to score. If Mo had as many minutes as Danny I don't think we would appreciate how special Mo is.

I like Danny because of how hard he seems to work and like Lucas seems professional, head down and working hard to get his opportunities in the team. I'd like to see him get more time on the pitch rather than these 2 minute cameos so he can show us what he's made of, good or bad.

Indeed, but his cameo's could be longer especially when we have a good lead and are controlling the game.

Wonder if he'll get a game with the U23's tomorrow at Boro what with Solanke away with the England U21'S?

I think you need squad members who are comfortable being used as the replacement options for the team Danny is that and seems to be happy at the club so what is the weird idea of him moving on.

So Club happy, Danny happy, Klopp happy, most Fans happy, what's the problem?

I think people want to create a drama that frankly isnt happening especially during boring international breaks.

Agree. He came here to fight for a place in a squad of top players. If he wanted comfort, he would have stayed where he was. I’m looking forward to seeing how much he has absorbed from Klopp sitting on the sidelines once he gets some proper match time. His last cameo was promising.

I remember more about Ings playing for Burnley than for us. At that time I thought Ings game resembled a lot about Defoe. Wonder if anyone agree.

Dreaming of a Danny Ings goal tonight, imagine how massive that would be for him and all involved.

And when he gets one, let's get Dom involved

Ingsy to get his first goal of the season and I have a feeling it could be the winner

If he scores, I think I just might crack one out.

xbugawugax · « **Reply #1939 on:** April 7, 2018, 07:28:54 am »

did he score the winner for us under rodgers vs everton once?

he looks pretty good when given a chance so far. Not worried. I think if we do create chances he will definitely be on the scoresheet.

hesbighesred · « **Reply #1940 on:** April 7, 2018, 07:31:04 am »

What I like about Ings as a squad player for us is that he's a pressing demon, has a willingness to drift deeper and wider, and can do a job anywhere in the front three. Given that Firmino is basically nailed on to start the vast majority of games, it's incredibly useful to have a back up option that we don't have to change the system for. This was a big problem for Origi. Coming in for Sturridge, he could just slot in to the same tactical set-up and excel. Coming in for Firmino and the whole team has to adapt. That wouldn't be so much the case with Ings, and is also an advantage with Solanke who, while not the positional drifter Ings and Firmino are, does seem to like dropping off rather than playing on the shoulder. It makes it a lot easier if Klopp and the team have to tweak tactics rather than change them completely.

He scored at Goodison but it wasn't a winner. In the 1-1 draw, Rodgers last game. Then got injured in Klopp's first training session.

Between Ings, Origi, Solanke and Brewster coming through, I'd have to say I favour the younger two lads to develop into the role.

Was never convinced by Origi. At times had the odd good touch, but there are lots of players like that. Always one of those players with good technical skill but just nothing upstairs. Totally the opposite with Ings. Excellent attitude, professionalism and game intelligence but just doesn't quite have the physical attributes or technical skill to really pull things off. Could also be that he just needs to be playing week in week out to become confident in his durability again, but thats not going to happen at LFC. Solanke and Brewster are both young lads who need time to develop and the healthy injection of playing time and opportunities. Always very difficult for a young striker to break through at a big club. Many sides only play with 1 'striker' and play with more complete forwards or converted wingers.

Bolrick · « **Reply #1943 on:** April 8, 2018, 07:11:19 am »

We have to give Ings more time. He is a great backup player to have. He is a proven goalscorer in the premier league (when he scored loads for burnley)

Solanke has to start scoring some goals and take his chances though. He is young and we have to be patient yes but at the same time he finds himself in scoring positions but keeps missing unfortunately. I have a feeling if he scored his early chance against Everton, he would have scored a goal or two more.

I'd be more concerned about his awful touch than his poor finishing at this stage. The latter is a skill but it is also something which can improve with confidence, maturity and general variance. The former is harder to coach I think.

I think we're better off keeping the Ings type around, not necessarily Ings but a 'proven' (scored a lot in the PL) and older player so happy to play back-up (i've just seen Ings is 25, I thought he was about 40). I've no idea which player fits that bill, we've seen our rivals do something similar to varying degrees of success with Giroud/Llorente/Zlatan, I think Welbeck at Arsenal, ignoring his injuries, is the sort of fit we'd want.

Solanke needs to be playing regularly and I think in his 18? or so appearances its apparent he's too raw to contribute to a team chasing titles/CLs. The drop off in quality is just a bit too big at the moment and we've been very fortunate to have the front 3 fit basically all season. Get him out on loan and playing week in week out then this time next year see where his development is at.

Starting to think they've got some serious beef with Klopp these pricks who officiate the English game. It's just staggering some of the decisions that have gone against us this season. And this latest one just takes the piss. How on Gods green earth is punching someone in the stomach NOT a red card? I mean, just imagine if Luis Suarez had done that to someone when he played for us.

CraigDS · « **Reply #1957 on:** April 23, 2018, 05:58:58 pm »

I can only assume they've considered the fact it wasn't too hard and didn't injure the player, because it's as clear as day he punches him. Unquestionably so for anyone who isn't blind or bent.

However, why should these be considerations? Does that mean any knee high tackle should be fine as long as the player isn't stretchered off with a broken leg, or an elbow to the head is OK unless it breaks their nose?

That is the dangerous situation it sets. A punch is a punch whether it's hard or not, it shouldn't be acceptable regardless, it is basically cowardice. By not stamping down on it, they are virtually condoning the act. Crazy decision.
