Unfortunately Liverpool lost to Arsenal at the weekend, and on the final word show, Chloe and the guys had a chat about Liverpool's forward line and why Liverpool need a little bit more from the likes of Florian Wirtz, Alexander Iczak, and Bradley Bachler in such games.

Let's talk about the stat that I really want to talk about. Liverpool had 17 shots on the date, which by the way, I don't remember half of them.

Abbie Rudkin (1:29)

There's someone's lie to me there.

SPEAKER_2 (1:32)

Zero on target, zero. Not once did we test David Ryre and world class goalkeeper. But if you're not getting the shots on target, really, what are you doing? There's not a lot going on there. And it comes back to the players.

We've got three 100 million pound players in there. Wirtz, Bartkola, Alexander Isak and you can add 17 million, whatever, Cody Gacpow.

It's just not enough from any of them. I thought when you've got that price tag, when you are, Alexander Isak was one of the best strikers in the world when we bought him. Wirtz was one of the best attacking midfielders, young up and coming stars. I want you to waltz into that Liverpool side and go, I am him. I am the man. I am the main fella of this Liverpool side. Bit like what Moussela used to do for Liverpool. And look, you're never going to get that, because Moussela was a freak of nature as well. But I want someone to put Liverpool on their back and go, actually lads, I'll help ourselves. It'll be me this time. And I just don't see it. I really don't.

I don't remember any real moment of cutting edge that wasn't a Macalester header or a potential penalty.

SPEAKER_4 (2:52)

I don't want to get on Iraloa's case too much, because I think what I've seen yesterday and what I've seen this season, I think he'll come good for us. I think it'll work out. But I think this thing about having your wingers playing on both sides of the wings is good when you're introducing them into the team. But a winger needs a position, he needs someone to play, he needs to be playing.

But a winger needs to go here, I'm gonna be starting on the left. Or if I'm not starting, when I come off the bench, I'm gonna be on the left. Real needs to know his position is on the right. There needs to be consistency within the team. I think I'm swapping them over, game after game after game. I think it's hurting them.

SPEAKER_2 (3:29)

But I don't think he's done, I think he did that at the start, I don't think he's doing it now. Kenny Gapow is Liverpool's right winger. Bradley Barcola is Liverpool's left winger. And this is what I have the problem with. At no point you're on that game, and you go, lads, this isn't working. Switches, actually. Because I remember, I don't know whether it's Barcola's first game, but it's not, because I think we played the switch before that, but his first Champions League game, he starts on the right hand side, let's go Madrid, and he should have had a hat-trick in that game of football, to be perfectly honest with you.

So I agree with the sentiment of, you know, a player needs to know where they're playing, but at the same time, if you're gonna say that they can play both sides, do it then. Because at no point was there, this isn't working, it's flippin, let's do something else. And I think there's a lack of competition there, Dan, for me.
