Could you see Origi and Sturridge working as a front 2? Or do they not compliment one another well enough?

They can compliment each other, but Klopp has a system of play in which there is 1 striker, but he changes things later if things are not going well. I say let the manager stick to what he wants to do.

Sturridge has worked as a number 2 with saurez and again tonight with vardy, don't see why not. Sturridge seems to like to drop deep at times to get the ball whilst origi is a lot stronger and is someone you can hit A long ball two who is willing to hold it up or run the channels, also origi presses well. Don't see why it couldn't.

But will change as season goes on and with ings firmino plus any new signings wanting first team football who knows!

Ya I think they can work why because the both could out wide if Klopp what's to but they proven against saints that they can't work as a 2.

Of course they can. They have already played together and I would guess they would have more if they had of been fit at the same time. Surprisingly with Origi the one being injured.

Yes they can. Studge drops deep and pulls wide like Firmino while Origi can do everything so no prob there. With the right training and understanding, playing both won't be an issue.

It'd certainly be interesting should they both be 100% fit.

To me Origi will be our number 1 striker, let's not forget Ings, easily forgotten due to his bad injury but he will be great for us I have no doubt. I love sturridge but problem with him is his injurys, it was getting beyond a joke, if that bad spell has ended then brilliant, we're laughing. because he will tear up defences along with origi and or Ings. I am excited about our forwards, we have a lot of quality, next season will be better.

He plays with two strikers. Daniel and firmino.

They'd be perfectly complementary IMO.

Sturridge suits 2 upfront as he likes to roam and have a partner to complement his movement and/ or remain in the box (as we saw with Sturridges assist to Vardys first goal, and Sturridges pass into Vardy to create the second) . He's also not great at hold up play (which Origi is, and this is extremely useful) but he's a clinical finisher (which Origi isn't just yet) .

By contrast Origi can do it all, and arguably the better suited in style to being a lone striker, but he's just not as lethal in front of goal yet IMO.

Question is what system do you play with 2 upfront as we don't have the obvious wide midfielders and 4-4-2 doesn't suit Firmino. My preference would be the diamond and a midfield of Can, Hendo, Coutinho (similar to 13/ 14 but just Can instead of Gerard) and then put Firmino in at no.10 to feed the strikers. I think this would be a lethal setup. We'd need Can to be very disciplined and to have a solid back 4 though as it's quite a narrow and attacking midfield setup.

Didn't they start together away to Southampton when we won 6-1?
Origi hatrick and studge hit the equaliser?

Completely agree, a diamond with those two up top, can holding, hendo and coutinho either side and firmino at the tip would be a deadly combination imo.

Personally don't see sturridge and firmino in the same team. Stidge looks like he has sacrificed speed for fitness with his training. Definitely not as sharp and therefore operates better as a twb behind an origin type but so does firmino. Same as this gotze interest there all the same bleeding player.
