Seriously though, it's about having multiple threats. City had DeBruyne who could pick a pass and shoot. Silva, and Bruno who could play in tight spaces and find players in the box. Haaland in the box. Gundogan who made smart runs into the box.

Our pass around shit and Gakpo cutting in and shooting, ain't it.
However, with Ekitike and Wirtz it's looking a bit better. But we need more from Macca. More shoots from Szobo and most importantly better players on the wings.

So get better threats than Wirtz, Salah, Isak, Etitike, MacAllister etc etc?
 
we’re struggling with width and pace atm, you can see the impact frimpong makes just by possessing those abilities.

in general though i think we have the attacking players to break down these deep lying teams a lot of the time.

but what we don’t seem to have anymore is the capability to box the opposition into their own defensive third for 90% of the game and deny them any meaningful opportunities. how many klopp games can you remember with the matip and virgil standing around the halfway line most of the match with us absolutely strangling the other team slowly? maybe it’s because virgil was invincible back then and we had an incredibly hard working midfield that included a proper dm? i’m not sure what’s going on but we seem very easy to counter and attack in general.

The Salah I've seen this season isn't good enough and we've barely seen Isak.

So yeah, we need better players on the wings.

Discounting Isak as he's not a winger leaves Salah. I wouldn't disagree with a replacement but whom?

We do have Frimpong, so?

Semenyo chose City (assuming we actually enquired) so alternative is required.

Frimpong is another Riise. Something between a fullback and winger.

I honestly can't name a winger right now that I'm 100% sure of.
We missed out on Kvara, who would have been perfect.
Nico Williams or Oliseh, that's basically it. Maybe that Turkish kid from Juve too.
 
imo we should’ve been in for doku and semenyo, maybe we were but ultimately seems like it was pretty easy for city.

olise ditto, not sure how bayern got that done seemingly without a fight. i do understand not landing the georgian, im sure he’s on crazy money.
 
even pedro neto might have been a decent signing, although i’m not sure how exactly chelsea have cured him
