discuss Liverpool's Attack is Lacking

[Derek1309]

Liverpool has won the league with 4 matches to spare but let's not forget the bottling that has been happening since the previous season. Lets think of it very pragmatically-
last season, Liverpool started the season on a high. They looked like a genuine title contender and they were even on track to win a Treble (Premier league, Europa League, carabao cup). But, during the business end of the season, suddenly the attack was not able to score goals. Their over-reliance on Mo Salah was very evident. what was the consequence of this failing attack? The fans hoping for a Treble needed to be satisfied with a Carabao cup. Liverpool were out of the title race and out of the Europa league in the same week.
Now, lets compare the same with this season-
Just like last season, Liverpool started on a high wining all their premier league and Champions league matches. The attack was scoring at will (Though the build up was patient). Liverpool were on track to win a Quadruple (Premier league, Champions league, FA cup, Carabao cup). But, again just like the previous season, during the business end of the season, the attack found it difficult to score. AGAIN, What is the consequence?, Liverpool are out of the Champions league, FA cup and Carabao cup within a span of 2 weeks.
The Fans are absolutely delighted about the Premier league win but What shouldn't be forgotten is that, during the business end of the season Liverpool have found it difficult to score. The entire burden can't be shouldered by Mo Salah alone. Liverpool needs a Stricker, A scoring Left winger and a right winger (young) to be an understudy to Mo.

Liverpool has over relied on Mo Salah that other players have failed to rise to the challenge. This attack can't be compared to the attack they had with Salah, Mane and Firminho. Goals came in significantly across the front three. Nunez isn't a big team player and can't be hoped on to deliver for a team like Liverpool. They should get a proven goalscorer to lead the attack from the middle.

I would argue that neither Diaz nor Gakpo nor Jota are big team players. With their contributions, they are squad players at best.

Liverpool should have sold Nunez before now but I know they tried holding out with Slot just coming in after Klopp left. I don't think he's going to be the lead striker for Liverpool next season.

Nunez is not going to be here next season. I can see him moving to Saudi. But, Nunez alone isn't the one to be blamed. The entire attack except for Mo haven't been up to the mark for the last two seasons. FSG better spend some money cause the fullback situation is also not looking very good. I think Robertson has run his race.

Liverpool's attack has really been inconsistent. I watched a couple of their matches and I noticed that the attack has been relying heavily on Mohamed Salah. They need to sign a proven goalscorer like Victor Osimhen.

There is a need for them to sign a new attacker who can play in different wings. I will say that Victor can be a good signing should they go all out for him.

 

[Derek1309]

I don't see FSG paying the amount that Osimhen would demand from a salary point of view as well as a transfer fee point of view. This would most probably be his final contract in the big leagues so he will want a big pay as well. Plus we need 2 fullback (left and right) as well as a Center back if possible.
