      No doubt the forward line have been poor so far but the lack of creativity from midfield was laid glaring today.

      So much so that Shaqiri had to drop into midfield to try and create something.  Hendo, Milner and Gini when was the last time we got a goal from those 3 in open play?

       Hopefully we can keep going until  the January window.

      Is anyone else worried that we seem to be overplaying the front three?
      Bobby looks shattered and lethargic compared to prior years.
      Sadio's playing with a broken thumb and needs to put his feet up.
      Mo needs the hours on the pitch to regain top form.

      I think the overplaying of it is due to the lack of confidence a fear of missing, so instead of taking the half chances they are trying to almost create unmissable chances if that makes sense

      The switch in positions up front is not getting the best from the players involved.
      Bobby is now playing more of a CM, because I imagine Klopp doesn’t trust Shaq in midfield and in turn Salah is playing the striker role.

      Seems to me at least that this positional switch is not suiting Bobby as he is too peripheral to effect play.

      Salah is constantly getting the ball withhis back to goal and usually with a couple of defenders on him, he is much more deadly coming in off the wing.

      Hopefully the switch is temporary or at least until Keita is fully up to speed.
      We were too open through midfield with Bobby dropping deep into CM.

      I think our 4231 formation is tailor made for a more natural 9, someone that can hold the ball up and bring others into play, someone like a Solanke could work or even playing Firmino higher up imo.
