Does anyone think that Riise could succeed as a striker, we have seen his shots. He has brilliant power, acuracyand can hit a volley.

Here is a free clip of John Arne Riise:

Riise as a striker!?!

I don't think so, even though he has a superb left foot, i think he's better when he is charging down the left.

No unless you count hitting it very hard from 30-40 yards out as a striker.

Not really...but I do remember Liverpool hitting an injury crisis some time back, and playing Steve Staunton up front in a League Cup game...
Got a hat trick that night...
And was dropped for the next game!


The past is history...The future a mystery.
This moment is a gift...That's why it's the present.

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

There's more to being a forward than just shooting, such as movement and awareness etc etc.
And thats probably why Roberto Carlos never played up front either. Big Grin
