Uncle Scum himself openly admitted in front of the media that he needed a striker very much.
In our 4-1 win over Shrewsbury, Takumi Minamino was given a chance to play in the second half. The Japan international missed his first two Premier League games against Leicester City and Chelsea due to muscle discomfort.
With the Africa Cup of Nations on schedule, Liverpool will be without main strikers Salah and Mane in the coming weeks, while "Koi" Origi continues to suffer from knee problems.
For the rest of January, Liverpool face Arsenal in the League Cup, with premier league games against Brentford and Crystal Palace. The first weekend of February will take place in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Cardiff City.
On the issue of the use of forwards, injuries once again plagued Uncle Scum's platoon. Regarding Minamino's return, Uncle Scum said: "He only trained two games after the injury, and this game allowed him to help him recover with a substitute training."
"He used to be unable to play because of injuries, but it wasn't an injury that affected his career. Now that he's back, it's very important for us, especially now that we have a lot of games to play and we all know that our two striker are not here. ”
"When he came on, he was in great shape and I liked him like that very much. Of course the injury slightly interrupted his appearance, but now there is no problem, he is back and we desperately need him. ”
The two striker killers are not in the squad, Origi has a rumor of leaving the team, and the ones who can be used well at present are Jota and Minamino. If Firmino can get back to his form in time, such a "new trident" is not impossible.
Looking back at last night's game, Minano's performance was not lost. Actively running and fighting for the team to dedicate, but Uncle Scum also found a strange phenomenon, the players seem to be reluctant to give Takushi Minamino a pass, the perception of the stadium is that he is very hard to integrate, but the teammates seem to not understand? Or are people's ideas not syncing?
All this is unknown, but at least the mental outlook given by Takumi Minamino is positive. In the month when our army lacked a main general, there were still many problems to be solved. Fabinho was in a hurry to go into the penalty area and shoot twice, I can only say about such a situation, come a few more times! Fabi Bird Blade in place!
