Defends from the from like Suarez used to.
Chases everything down like Suarez used to.
Leaves everything on the pitch like Suarez to.
I can pay him no higher compliment than that. We have sorely missed that front foot defending.

He's a very good footballer, period. I get all the "he's a fighter" shouts, but those kind of players abound on this league (Borini for one). The important thing is that we got a young, very clever and very good footballer on a free (or whatever pittance we may end up paying) who's also a fighter. He's dead fast too. I'm made up that we got him.

Very happy with this signing so far. I wonder what the plan is for when Benteke returns, a three up top with Ings-Benteke-Sturridge? Ings is too good to keep outside this team, not that special on an individual level but in terms of what he brings to the team. That's both attack and defense wise btw. Hopefully his emergence will mean the end to our countless experiments to get goals from midfielders rather than strikers. It would leave a lot of expensive players on the bench but it would be the right way to go imo.

Thank you, I was looking for that in order to be able to reference it.

That single moment lifted a lot of the gloom I've been feeling. Danny S's goals were wonderfully uplifting, but Danny I's passion and determination were just thrilling. Yes, we need the exquisite quality of Sturridge, but we need the fire of Ings just as much (and Lucas, who had a great game of 'thou shalt not pass' too!)

People claiming Higuain as being average is folly. He is just a type of player who needs a type of service.

I just hope our management see the vast improvement he made to our forward play yesterday, and give him a run. Just because he didn't cost £30+ Million, it doesn't mean that his form shouldn't take president.

I don't think he should start mid-week, but I definitely think we should set-up similar for the Derby. Derbies need a bit of fire and Ings epitomises the fight needed in a Derby.

Ings is the type of player to show no fear playing at Goodison, in fact it'll probably inspire him. Rest him and Sturridge on Thursday, play them both against Everton and I'm convinced they'll click again and produce the goods.

Got a feeling Sturridge would love playing along side Ings...haha i.e he gets all the goals and glory, while Ings does all the donkey work!

With Rodgers under pressure pretty much every week now he cant play people just on name or price tag. Ings gives everything & improved us attacking wise instantly when replacing Benteke at halftime vs Norwich. Has to be his place to lose now.

Alot of casual fans could see it in the summer, so it makes it a little worse that our manager couldn't. For me its not surprising Ings has hit it off so well here, at Burnley he looked to have the profile of a player with the right technical ability, workrate and know how and finishing in the box to make it here. I always maintained that despite the sometimes stimga of English players in comparison to their Continental counterparts, he was and is a level above Borini technically, and at 6 m, at 22 and considering what the likes of Berahino Kane Austin and Mane were being quoted for, Ings for that price was some of the best business this summer. Alongside Gomez and Clyne, it was a smart deal that simply made sense on all levels, price age and ability, but also the sense of how he would fit into what i regards as an 'ideal Rodgers side', a player who could press from the front, dribble and who is attentive and alert in the box with a smart finish to boot.

However despite the Ings deal being a great one, i also felt that it shone a light on another deal that was perhaps not so great and far more costly in terms of price and the impact on the team if said player was to fail. The question wasn't necessarily the players ability, because Benteke is a good player with a potential to maybe be a great one, great in the air, strong as an ox and a good finisher. However the opposition to the deal came from the fact that it was my belief that despite Bentekes ability which he has shown in snippets in his short time here, it made more sense to go for a player with the template of Ings, but of a much better quality, afterall for me that is essentially what Suarez is, albeit with much more copious amount of South American genius. It was almost as if to me, Rodgers was stabbing his own self in the back, because for me the best Rodgers teams haven't been like the Chelsea 04 team, which he may have been trying to recreate, for one due to his own coaching tendancies i doubt Rodgers could ever have a team like that. But what he has coached, is a Swansea team with continental foundations in Ajax and Barcelona, and a counter attacking fast paced menacing Liverpool side reminiscent of 90's United teams inspired by Cantona in his arrogant pomp.

One could argue that despite him not being of that value, spending 32 m on Ings would have made more sense than spending it on Benteke in theory, just for the fact of the template of a striker he is, and how i feel he fits into the type of players and attackers Rodgers has got the best of in his time as a manager, think Borini, Suarez, Dyer, Sturridge, Sterling... Yet for another summer, we went against that when spending money on our biggest signing, that itself doesn't speak well of our transfer policy over the last couple years, because for all the good work we done this summer, the big one, the one signing that is supposed to catapult us to the next level, may have been the wrong choice again.


Spot on. I argued this point all summer. We spent the best part of £40m and £200k a week bringing these two in, and already most people would partner Sturridge with Ings because he's by far the better fit for this team, you can see the improvement in the passing and movement since he came in. Ings has done well and deserves his plaudits, but imagine how pleased we would be if we spent that money on an Ings that is two or three levels above.

Still think it's a stupid argument

Benteke has barely had a chance to settle in or play with Sturridge (or Ings), and Ings might end up being a better buy than any of the better version of Ings that it might be tempting to fantasise about (which seems to me to be basically still mourning Suarez departure)

I think Brendan will feel he has to give Sturridge - Benteke a proper go.

It's going to look pretty damning if he ends up with both his two big £30 million summer signings sat on the bench, and it's already hard to see where Firmino fits in to our best 11 if we carry on playing this system.

One would argue it and it'd be a poor argument. Clubs don't just go buying based on theoretical stylistic templates; but proven goal-scoring as the main criteria. There's no evidence Ings is or ever will be worth 32m. The question on Benteke was paying the money the market demanded. One that if you study all corners of the deal, with particular attention to his 1/2 strike-rate, it made sense.

It's also not a zero-sum game. The priority was to get a goal scorer of proven ability like Benteke. It also means supplementing that with players that might develop at our club like Ings. While LFC might not plan on both becoming wild successes; if they do it's not at the spite of each other or the club. They might both end up successes or one of them might.

The irony is that the Villa and Carlisle  games showed precisely why we got Benteke: he forces defences to sit higher because if they just sit in their box we have an option. It was handy we scored early against Villa which caused them towards the end of the game to gamble and come forward. You saw more of Sturridge, and Ings, because of that. Had we not, it could have very easily turned into another Carlisle.

I think the PL has been a bit of a shock to the system for Firmino. I don't think it would do him any harm after his recuperation to do the cups only - League, FA & Europa - for a month or two, building some lost confidence against slightly lesser opposition, and get him towards 100%.

I think the idea of Ings - Sturridge - Firmino as a three is delicious in theory; so much movement, skill and flair. It'd be enough to have defenders being physically sick on the pitch; but then how do you solve the problem of Benteke?

Wasn't too keen on the Ings signing, but came to terms with it on the basis he was the 3rd/4th choice striker. Happy to see him prove me wrong and he's moved up so much in my estimation that I see him as a starter with Studge. Don't get me wrong, he's no suarez, but he has ability and determination, which is more than could be said for B&B from last season

Ings should start alongside Sturridge. He compliments Sturridge really well. He does the hard work which will allow Sturridge to shine. Wasn't a fan of his signing as I thought we should be signing better quality than Ings but he has worked hard and earned his spot.

I wouldn't say that the PL has been a shock for Firmino. The Bundesliga is a better league than the PL while also being very similar in pace to the PL. It's more that he has been part of a struggling dysfunctional team. If he had Sturridge and Ings ahead of him, I think he will shine much more.

Can you accommodate all 3 in the lineup? Ings-Benteke-Sturridge?

Probably not - but it would be a nice attacking front 3.
