If we do not improve, if Klopp doesn't get right into some of his favourites, the sh*t will really hit the fan on this one.
Time for Firmino to take some responsibility in scoring his chances and choosing the right option. Don't care where he plays. Left, right or centre. We need goals from him.
Time for Can to figure out his role in this team. If he wants to be in and around the box he has to use the ball better. Quicker, more accurate and less selfishly.
Clyne will have to use the ball better rather than getting in promising positions and failing time and time again to get anything worthwhile from it.
Klavan, I would call a big mistake and a missed opportunity to bring into the ranks another first choice player to play alongside Matip and to demote Lovren to the bench. The guy isn't at the level required, and at the stage hes at in his career it's not going to get much better. A bit of a scandal that signing, a real worry of mine is what the clubs transfer strategy is, because it can't have been made in line with seriously looking to make us winners (on the pitch anyway.)
Sorry cannot get on board with signing cut price 30 year olds when we have money to attract the best.
We can't use Milner so much in our attack either. He does a decent job but we're not going to score lots of goals directly from him.
I want a lot more from our attacking players. The pressing, the high intensity, the speed, the creativeness have all deserted us.
The way we play, we need goals. Surely if Sturridge is a fading force, we need to be looking at a proven goalscorer. A type of signing that would cement our position in the top 4 for years to come.
A player who will be a Torres, Owen or Suarez. Firmino will not fire us to a league title even if the forum get their wish of playing up front. Firmino is an option, not the solution. He's already proven to us his lack of versatility, i like his energy, but not his ability on the ball.
