Also hopefully 2 full backs who can create and occasionally get on the score sheet. As for KDB, i think we should expect a lot more goals from him given his quality. I know he gets a lot of assists, but for me he isn't his old self at the moment.

Why are we not clinical?

KDB may be playing exactly how the manager has asked him to play so it's hard to criticize without knowing the facts. He certainly isn't the same player we saw at the start of the season.Also hopefully 2 full backs who can create and occasionally get on the score sheet.

I thought yesterday when Silva went off he would shine in that central role, but again never really stamped his mark on the game. Like you say, may be doing exactly what pep wants him to do though.KDB may be playing exactly how the manager has asked him to play so it's hard to criticize without knowing the facts.

Just seen that Messi goal from last night. Besides him there were four other Barca players in the box.
Have a look at my post on the first page I make exactly the same point about the Messi goal.
All our midfielders want to stand on the edge of the box, wait to pick up the ball and recycle back to the wings, where the winger again has only one player in the middle. Silva bizarrely seems to be the supporting player with licence to get furthest forward but his finishing is incredibly bad.
Like Willis says it's a real conundrum as you appreciate the quality the likes of Silva, KDB in relation to building the play. However based on goal output do we look at another player who may provide more goal threat but may result in less control of the ball? Deli Alli would be the perfect choice but sadly their is no chance of signing him.
Personally I expect Sterling position to be under threat and Jesus (recognised striker) playing out wide to provide the additional goals. Similar to Villa/Henry at Barca.

We're not clinical because we don't shoot often enough. We continually dominate possession but always look for the extra pass rather than having a shot on goal.

We don't have enough top quality goalscorers in the side , It's a big big problem because the likes of Kev and Raheem and to a lesser degree Sane simply are not good enough in front of goal , Sergio for all his detractors of late has virtually carried this club for the past two seasons and replacing Sergio with Jesus isn't necessarily the answer to our goal scoring problems , opposition teams will simply learn how to counteract him.
We don't have a midfielder who chips in with 6-8 goals a season either , we look like a team of weaklings, Chelsea , Spurs , United players look far more robust and fitter than us , Willian would look fantastic in our side , box to box , rapid and knows where the net is.
We simply don't have clinical players- and if we do need to buy the likes of Sanchez & Mbappe to the club then what does that say about Sterling , Sane , Aguero - or even Kev for that matter.
The whole fabric of the team looks all over the show , mard arses.
We do, he's just been injured most of the season...

We need to be as clinical as the referees.
