No natural number nine – do Reds have an issue?

Must read

[BBC]

We asked for your views on things that are not being talked about at Liverpool but should be.

Here are some of your comments:

Matsy: In my opinion, the one thing that isn’t being talked about is that Liverpool currently have the best squad in the league, City and Arsenal included.

Rebel Red: Should Kelleher be used more often or sold? As of next season, there will be three or four international goalkeepers at Anfield which seems too many.

Jon: While everyone talks about the contracts of Salah, Van Dijk and Trent, what’s going to happen with Alisson? With Mamardashvili coming next year, Kelleher possibly moving on, will he be first or second choice, or even moving on?

Chris: Harvey Elliott has only played a few minutes – how will he fit into the team and what kind of impact might he be able to make once he’s match fit?

Steve: The one thing people are not talking about is just how brilliant Conor Bradley is. A different type of threat to Alexander-Arnold but a threat all the same. He’s aggressive in defence and dynamic going forward. He also has great chemistry with Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah too.

Fraser: Not much discussion on how great Arne Slot is in developing current players. Since he’s come along, Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch have been completely transformed and have either earned their place in the squad or are providing strong competition to start in games. I don’t know how Slot does it but whatever it is, it’s working.

Evan: We still have no natural number nine. Take Salah out of team and there is nobody who is scoring 25+ goals a season as a striker. Jota is injured far too much to rely on, Nunez couldn’t finish his breakfast, and Diaz and Gakpo are much better off the left.
