In all my life as a Liverpool fan I've always known us to play with a specialist goalscorer from Keegan to Toshack to Dalglish, Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez, Sturridge (sadly past his best now) .

Look at the our rivals in the big six: Aguero, Lukaku, Kane, Sanchez, Morata.

Firminho is a top player but he's never a no.9

But he would make a perfect foil for a real striker.

Pity Klopp can't see that.

Watching us this season it's clear that a real goalscorer would put away most of the chances our forward line are fluffing.

Which is what makes me all the more angry we pissed £35m up the wall for Ox when we're already well stacked in midfield. We're creating enough chances, there's just no one around who can convert them.

Salah has scored more than morata and sachez. Nice try.

It's is not the top end of the field that needs sorting. No need to invent problems when we have enough real ones mate.

Redmist, none of your points are relevant to Liverpool's problems.

Its the manager who cannot adjust to teams sitting back against us, not the players.

If you had highlighted the words 'defence' and 'keeper' then possibly 'manager knows only one way to play', then I would tend to agree with you.

Redmist. Please don't bring up the striker debat as a lot of people on here think everything is ok in that department. We have firmino who according to a lot on here is the real deal up front. He is or will never be a striker IMO but is a fantastic player. I do agree with superred82 that there more there are more problematic areas than up top. Gk and defence is what we need to worry about first.
