I have just taken over at Liverpool. In the pre-season friendlies my team were banging them in, winning on average by 4 goals. I know you can't take friendlies too seriously but now my strikers are really struggling to score. I am trying for the first time to play with 1 main striker up top, and then 2 inside forwards either side and Gerrard in the hole. I've tried Torres and Tevez upfront without much success. I've tried Suarez, Joe Cole and Ashley Young out on the left, Kuyt and Joe Cole on the right. Gerrard is really under-performing. I've tried him as an attacking midfielder, advanced playmaker, and tried playing him in the middle of the park just as a central midfielder.
I've tried all these things but am still only winning by the odd goal, or coming away with a 0-0 draw in a game I should have easily won. Any ideas?
