[@neillynch_ecocidologist]

@@nn-yi4xn Sure, you can and that nonsense saying, "You can't teach it" is drivel. If the player has never got round to working it out for themselves, you tell them to focus on finding space (close to goal), when / how to accelerate in bursts and then you have them wellying a ball against a wall / into an empty net (with a wall behind) until their confidence picks up. Of course, a pro should by now know the basics but with Nunez and Diaz I'm not sure they do. Finishing should be the easiest thing in the world, when the ball falls to you in the box and 1-on-1s with the keeper are not that much harder, so long as you're onside (VAR changed that rule from level with the last defender being onside to its current state) fast enough and relaxed enough. If a team's losing a match, struggling in the league and a player's going through a bad patch, sure, he'll more likely continue to struggle than not. But that's the same for every striker. Practise makes perfect, playing week-in, week-out, helps immensely and then you've got work on the confidence / self-belief of the player.

Not even close to being the same situation. Sturridge never got a fraction of the chances Nunez gets. Nunez squanders chances Sturridge would have put away when he was 19 or 20 years old. He'll score some random bangers then miss the dozens of six yard box chances he gets. It's a joke.

Worse for Liverpool was the ridiculous Atalanta EL tie. First leg was a disaster, second saw Liverpool score inside 7 minutes and then spend the rest of the match passing back to Alisson. Sure, playing to win could have added to player-fatigue (more so if it had gone to ET), but a great comeback would have galvanised the team. And seen players scoring. They followed it up with the embarrassing game at home to Palace and now tonight they were once more toothless. I love Klopp to bits but he couldn't have gotten the Atalanta tie more wrong, imho.

You would know what Rooney and Sturridge are actually talking about cause they were out and out strikers themselves, especially Rooney but to have Carragher to say "can you actually though" is like saying that you can't keep improving on cycling a bike when actually you can. Its the same thing, you keep practising on your skill but its all about the mindset and Nunez for me hasn't really been improving on his finishing when I seen him missing setters, easy chances, time after time and he's been doing that even way before Klopp announced he was leaving. The question is, is Darwin Nunes actually cutting it to be a Liverpool striker? For me? He's not. He ain't no Owens, Fowler, Torres or Suarez. And this is coming from an United fan. You want you're strikers to score goals and the only way to do that is to keep practicing and have that mindset.

[@joecroft4274]

Sturridge is right. Not enough players spend time putting themselves into game scenarios. You see the training and they’re doing a lot of 5 a side games to allow everyone to keep their fitness and get equal time on the ball but without putting yourself on match pace you’re never gonna get accustomed to those opportunities. I think it would do Liverpool a world of good to have regular full size matches during training. 11 a side full games where they play for 30-45 minutes per session and you treat it like it’s a real game. Obviously you be more lenient with contact and avoid going into risky tackles but you still go as if you’re trying to win a match. Maybe getting Nunez in that position where he’s one on one with the keeper at match pace will improve his confidence and allow him to experiment.

I always said Liverpool/Klopp mismanaged their forward line. First by rewarding selfishness when Mane was still there - Klopp would play who was scoring...but then kept Salah even when he was bad. The new players barely get starts....Nunez is giving more gametime ONLY because he was bought for a lot of money etc.

For everything Klopp did or almost did, nothing he has done matches the 5 trophies the great man Houllier brought to Anfield in the space of just glorious months in 2001 after a solitary league cup in the previous 8 seasons. The trophy parade with an estimated 1 million fans on the streets of Liverpool was just something we will never ever forget.

Sturridge is right. Back then they had 2 goal-scoring wingers and 1 false 9 who provides chances. Now they have a front 3 that are “goal-scorers”, most of the midfielders are also “goal-scorers”, their main provider is TAA who’s stuck “defending”. Since the start Liverpool was riding their luck in the 3 horse race and I’m glad their luck ended this early.

I agree with rooney that klopp's statement might have derailed Liverpool's mentality . Earlier they used to run , grind out results and cause havoc which they havent been since the last 2 years .

Klopp announcing his departure before the end of the season bears an uncanny similarity to Manuel Pellegrini's last season at Man City 15/16 season where the former also only won the English League Cup. The players basically stop trying knowing that they will be judged by the new incoming coach after the end of the season.

[@kylemurphy1477]

Rooney and Sturridge have made two extremely powerful points here, rooney is spot on with his take on ‘sports science’ cutting short training sessions, sturridge also on players joking around during training. The thing with Núñez is compare him to haaland, similar age, haaland is deadly. Maybe liverpools training sessions are not helping?

[@ChiefShaddy]

To be honest, I think Salah has been found out without Bobby and Mane. He's largely a stat padder and rarely scores clutch goals. And he has always, from day one, been awful with ball control, touch, retention, etc.

[@shazanali692]

Erm he was always part of that team. It takes 3 to tango. The two new guys just cannot connect with him, Diaz hardly passes to him. Salah could have had 20 assist this season if all the players around him put it in the net. So all this is being found out is bs.

Even if we would have won against Palace and Everton and stood here with 80 points, I still believe we would bottle one of the remaining 4 games. The only difference is , I would feel even more miserable than I do now. Now I at least know where my place is (#3) and I will watch the remaining 4 games in peace rather than biting my nails off. :) So look at at the bright side - this is all a blessing in disguise. Or are you seriously telling me that having (again)90/91 points and STILL not being Champions is a BETTER place to be???
