The thing is, we’ve had a striker, the best dam striker the league has seen. And we weren’t any better. In fact out 3 best results at Anfield in the last 20 years have come without a striker.. Our pissing the league and reaching the CL final cane without a striker.
What these ‘need a striker’ types seem to ignore, if we have Kane for example, our pressing would be no where near as effective and we’d have to select just 4 players from Grealish, Sterling, De Bruyne, Foden, Mahrez, Gundogan, Bernardo Jesus & Torres.
Gundogan, Jesus, Bernardo, Foden & De Bruyne are all too effective to leave out. Had Gundogan replaced Grealish yesterday, we’d looked more solid defensively and offensively.
