Our front 3 got 36 goals and 16 assists in the league last season, now they look like they couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo. Have they suddenly got **** over night?
On the subject of Liverpool’s front line not needing the midfield to create chances, that might be the case but their midfield still does it. Henderson and Keita created more big chances than all of our midfielders combined last season.
Last season, Auba was performing very well in the same system and the same position. This season, he’s not. Fans were too quick to deflect it to the system and the position, yet not caring to look at the heart of the problem - Auba himself. I don’t have the answers as to why that is. Maybe it’s a confidence thing or maybe he was just playing for his contract last season, but he dropped several gears and it seems many don’t want to point it out.
Liverpool’s forwards are much better and have better movement to fashion themselves a lot more chances. It’s really not about the quality of the midfield. Ours is just as capable as theirs.
