we need to score 4 goals to win a game now
Pretty much. After the game there's going to be the usual party in the Firmino, Salah, and Nunez threads because, once again, they did not score those 4 goals. Been saying that since game-1 this season, you can't start questioning this much anybody who plays up top when we spend our games losing the ball in midfield and defending this way. Not only are you not giving those players anything to work with, you're also telling them to score 3 goals minimum for us to even have a chance to win anything.
Just look at the way we move the ball. If its not a pass coming from Thiago's legs then its either a side pass, an over the top pass or some useless stuff from the two full-backs on their way to lose it once again. We can't break even the first line of press without trying like 12 times. The first half started with us being pinned in our box with Alisson passing the ball to one of his CBs only to receive again over and over again.
