How anyone can single out the striker in this set-up as the problem amuses me greatly.
Our midfield has to impose themselves so much more, they're the ones that are given time on the ball and plenty of supply. What has any of them done so far, bloody nothing.
Trent has been the most creative force, after that then Salah and Firmino, basically ignoring our midfield, they're bloody useless so far. Can has made maybe one run forward into the box the whole game and almost all their work is being done in front of Maribor and they're happy with that. Not one of them are capable of truly beating a man, running around him yes, but beating him, not a chance. We miss Coutinho/Lallana so much in this set-up that we're left with little choice than to bring either Salah or Firmino back into midfield imo.
Dire from our 3 lads in the middle, absolutely dire.
