The upcoming Africa Cup of Nations is not good news for Liverpool. After all, their last round of the league, just on the road, was successfully avenged by the Blue Foxes, and the gap with Manchester City in the standings also widened to 3 points. In the last game, Klopp basically sent the full force to meet the game, but still could not return from the Royal Power Stadium. Such a loss, as a Reds fan, I am very worried, which actually allows me to see the scene of the same period last year. At that time, Liverpool was the Christmas champions of the Premier League, but with the ensuing injuries, the team's consecutive winless wins made the original advantage disappear, and it was only with the rebound of the last few rounds of competition that it barely qualified for this season's Champions League.
That season, we saw Salah when he first joined Liverpool, and before the halfway point of the schedule, he had already scored more than 20 goals, but it was Salah's unique talent that worried me, after all, there is no player who can really replace Salah in the current Liverpool squad.
And, as I mentioned at the beginning, the Africa Cup of Nations is coming, and it is not only Salah but also Mane who will leave Liverpool. Although Mane's performance this season has been unstable and not as eye-catching as before the 18-19 season, he at least said that it was Liverpool's explosive point on the left side, and now that the two wings are gone, it is certainly impractical for you to let Uncle Scum use Firmino and Jota to play as a double striker. Moreover, Liverpool now, although the main squad is very strong, yes, their bench depth, compared with Manchester City, with Chelsea, and even with Real Madrid, is a inferior side. Therefore, if Liverpool want to win the title this season, the reinforcement of the winter window is urgent.
According to the recent writings of Paul Merson, the special author of the Daily Star, we can see that the Nana star can't see what Liverpool is facing in the squad today, and he suggested that If Liverpool really wants to strengthen, then Wolves' striker, Jimenez, is a very good choice.
Now the problem with Liverpool's front line is that it is too comfortable, salah, Mane and Jota have no competitors. Moreover, these three forwards are all small and fast forwards, although in Klopp's high-level pressing tactics, their frontcourt pressing ability is the top presence in the Premier League's forwards, but when you come to the real confrontation, when you go to fight the position war, you do not have a bridgehead role, and the attack is really more difficult. You see, this Klopp, in the Dortmund period, there is Levan in the front, Kagawa behind him, Getze, Reus, in order to play the whirlwind, play smoothly, and even meet Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, directly rely on Levine, into 4.
In fact, since Klopp came to the Premier League, he, like Guardiola, has not really been a center forward player. Even if Aguero is Salah, they can only say that they have a good physical confrontation, and the ability to hold the ball with their backs, in terms of height, they are indeed more difficult. And Jimenez, this Wolves forward, he belongs to a kind of, passing type of center, before Manchester City came out to want to recruit him into the team, after all, you Guardiola's team, is like this kind of forward who can pass and run, can send assists, there is such an all-round warrior, you even if the center retreats, let Salah top the center position, Jimenez can also help the central midfield to complete the tandem. So, in the eyes of Nana's celebrity, Jimenez is an enlarged version of Firmino.
And before, Liverpool was from Wolves, this striker Jota signed, if he had not been injured for too long last season, Liverpool would not have fallen into the final embarrassing circle. So will Liverpool take Merson's advice, and will Wolves choose to let go of their own pawn striker? Let's wait and see!
