All scored 3 goals after great attacking play while we struggle to score one against shit teams.

Bit of a stretch to say Leeds, Villa and Southampton are better than us though

I guess the telegraph did a doodle survey among the ManUre squad then lol

Would honestly trust the glazers to be daft enough to actually ask the players after having leaked any transfer rumour to the press for ages now.

Must be nice to be like Liverpool where seemingly every one of their attacking signings turns into an awesome player. Mané, Salah, Firmino, Jota, Diaz looks nice already. They’ve had a couple of duds ( Shaqiri, Monamino, Origi) but overall they’ve made us look like clueless amateurs.

Minamino and Origi are decent back ups and there goal tally would be good if they started often. Our attacking numbers make horrible reading and for me we can continue to buy attackers but we need to work on attacking phase as it will be deja-vu all over again.

So frustrating!! And it all looks so easy! None of this faffing and missing....urgh.

 Salah and Jota are the League top 2 scorers atm...

More importantly the attacking players they've signed with Klopp (barring Firmino who was a BR signing) seem to fit a specific profile/have certain characteristics that make them well suited to his philosophy.

The majority of their forward players are extremely fast, good dribblers, young enough but having gained enough experience at a relatively decent standard and capable goalscorers, which is a huge huge help.

Every successful team that plays with a 433 has inside forwards now over traditional wingers. Plus this has been a huge feature of German football and teams over the years.

Like, as a Liverpool supporter it’s got to be awesome to go into every single match knowing you’ve got 3-4 killers in your attack who can score in so many different ways. You can be extremely confident that no opponent in world football is likely to stop you from scoring.

I kind of felt like that early this season when we had RJ and Chilly flying, but now we can’t even be confident that we can score 1 goal. We have no idea whether we’ll get lucky and Havertz/Werner/CHO/Pulisic/Lukaku will have their once a month great game.

Liverpool attack - Presses and are involved in build up. 

Klopp and Liverpool - Buy high pressing build up players in Jota and Diaz

 

Chelsea attack - Presses and are involved in build up

Tuchel and Chelsea - Buy a counter attacking CF who doesn't press nor involved in build up. 

 

Is it really that shocking to see why we are miles off?
