Three ps, if you think back at the time, our main star striker had left and we couldn’t keep him in Luis Suarez. 14/15 was a season of trying to modify the squad.
Rodgers was good at developing players, but not necessarily the right buys in relation to what the team really needed, i.e. a goal scorer.
I vehemently in person resented the notion of ‘false number 9’. What is it? You’re either brought in to score goals or you are a provider and supplementary. Take Beardsley and Barnes in the 80s for example; though we still needed ultimately Ian Rush.
We didn’t have a Center forward. Klopps Model and redesign was a front 3 and Firmino became part of that and reinvented which suited his style of play and what the team needed and benefitted from.
