He is still full of tricks but gone down completely on intensity, even in front of goals not deadly anymore, he missed 2 relatively easy chances yesterday. Origi is not better though. Thoughts?

Scoring 0 goals at home for almost a year is simply not good enough.

31 March 2019 was the last home game he scored in.

Did I hear someone say Werner? whistle

Haven't checked but understand he has created and has also scored some crucial away goals? Including the winner in the CWC final.

But regardless, we need another top class attacking player, don't we?

4 players of similar quality for 3 spots isn't too much to ask for.

And Salah and Mané will both be away for the Afcon in a year, so we definitely need additions.

We keep Bobby but add another good player!

It's a problem when we don't have anybody who can challenge our front 3. They know if they have a number of bad games they aren't going to be changed.

Klopp has an opportunity in the summer to get a very good player and be able to give them time with AFCON and also keep our front 3 on their toes when they are all back in the team.

And our total profits for the last 3 years is 200m, so I am hoping money will be available to buy top players

Might be best to save it for a rainy day.

I still think if a world class player comes in then one may go out. It may very well be 2 in and 1 out. Ring any bells?

Werner looks nailed on and Mbappe could be a possible if we get offered over £160m for Salah but Werner may be the upgrade on Origi.

But we have won every single league game at home in that time and he has played in nearly all of them too. Using the term "is simply not good enough" is really harsh for something that is not an issue.

People see the team like this.

......ox..Fab... Wij.


Salah................Mane


..........firmino.



When it's more like this


Ox ....Fab....wij...

...... firmino


Salah.........mane.



He needs to score more. That's obvious. He's missed a lot. That's also obvious.

What isn't obvious is everything else he does.

If we were struggling in the league it would be an issue. Or if he was wearing anything other than 9 in his back not many people would bother scrutinising him with 8 goals and 7 assists.

I think he could easily play in Chamberlains position and Werner could go up top.
