@vruz @mike @30yrdscreamer very true! And Jota hasn't been the same since this last injury.

Salah is a generational talent, so for #LFC the imbalance between wing & striker is perhaps inevitable.

I think that imbalance is common. Arsenal are in the same boat and as I reflect on the table, very few teams have equivalent talent between those positions. Palace comes to mind. Maybe Chelsea. Certainly Brentford.

I'd bet there is an inverse ratio between possession and striker impact as well.

@mlawton @ravi@social.lol @mike @30yrdscreamer

I very highly doubt that a change of striker will change matters significantly without assembling a different supporting structure for that striker, whoever he is now and in the future.

It's not that both of Jota and Darwin are incompetents, it's that LFC is playing in a way that's designed to support Mo Salah and whoever plays on the other wing.

And as we've seen, that's not going to change for another two years.

@vruz @ravi @mike @30yrdscreamer I don’t know that Delap is the right striker, but that position has been under served all season. Some of that is the style of play, in which #LFC is so wing dominant. Also, most opponents won’t play openly so the striker is less effective anyway.

I’ve been dreaming of Isak for months, but I don’t know that he’d fit in either. (And it won’t happen because of 💰)

The question, for me, is how Slot evolves the team. Who fits?

@vruz @ravi @mike @30yrdscreamer except they are equivalent players (0.45 vs 0.46 goals per 90), only one plays for an offensive juggernaut and the other plays for a relegation bound team. I think each might perform better in reversed roles. Nunez could flourish when not forced to attack a low block and Diap given such a surrounding cast? 🤷‍♂️

There was/is promise in Nunez, but Slot doesn’t rate him highly and it sounds like he’ll be moved. #LFC
