Liverpool expected to sign £130 million attacker!

If we were to find a team in this season's Premier League that is the most different from the expectations of the outside world, it would undoubtedly be Liverpool. As the runner-up of last season's league, Liverpool only won 2 out of 8 games this season, with a win rate of only 25%, and 4 draws and 2 losses in the other 6 games, they only got 10 points, ranking 11th in the table, and the gap from the top team has been widened to 14 points. With only about 1/4 of the season underway, such a gap has almost put Liverpool out of the league title race early this season. However, the good thing is that they are only 6 points away from the top 4, if Slop's team can quickly adjust their form to catch up, they still have hope to appear in the Champions League next season.

From the point of view of both offensive and defensive performance, compared to last season, Liverpool's gap is obvious. At the same time last season, Liverpool had not suffered a loss in the league, they won 5 and drew 3, and got 18 points, 8 points more than this season's points. In the offensive end, Liverpool scored 22 goals in 8 games last season, slightly more than the 20 this season. However, considering that Liverpool had a game where they scored 9 goals this season, overall, in terms of offensive efficiency, Liverpool's decline this season is really quite obvious. On the defensive side, Liverpool conceded 12 goals in 8 games this season, with an average of 1.5 goals conceded, which is twice as many as the same period last season. With the efficiency of both offense and defense declining significantly, Liverpool's ranking this season is not surprising. For Kl opp, with the season about to enter its midpoint, if he can't turn the tide quickly, the team is likely to fall out of the league completely. This is undoubtedly an unacceptable result for the team.

In fact, the team's performance this season has been a sign of things to come. This can be clearly shown from the team's injury problems this season. Since the start of the season, Liverpool has almost never had a complete lineup, and a number of players in the starting lineup have suffered injuries. From the current situation, in Liverpool's first team, there are still five players such as Arnold, Luis Diaz, Curtis Jones, Ma tip and Arturo who are unable to play due to injury. Among these 5 players, Arnold, Luis Diaz and Ma tip can be considered as the team's main players. Such a situation makes Kl opp encounter great difficulties in the formation of the team. Especially in the back line, in the absence of Ma tip, Kl opp could not even find a suitable replacement. In fact, the reason why the team has so many injuries is directly related to the team's tactical style. In Slop's tactical system of pursuing speed and physical confrontation, the players consume a lot, which largely increases the possibility of their injuries.

In the past few seasons, Liverpool almost every season will face a lot of injury problems, which is very visual evidence of the impact of Slop's tactical style. However, from the current situation, it is difficult for Kl opp to change his tactical thinking, so for the team, they have to continue to use the transfer market to enhance the depth of the squad. The first is in the front line. After the departure of Mane, Liverpool's attack in the front line this season looks a lot more sluggish. Although they have a very good goal scorer like Nunez, more often than not, the goal scorer does not get enough support on the field. Luz Dias seems to have lost the spirit he had when he joined the team last season, and Iota also seems to be in low form, with only 3 appearances and 1 assist in the league this season, with an average rating of 6.43. On the right side, Salas's form is also not ideal, he has 2 goals and 3 assists in 8 league games, with an average rating of 6.87 points, which is significantly different from last season.

In this situation, in order to get the team out of the decline fundamentally, Liverpool seems to be brewing to complete some epic transfers. If they can get what they want, then the team will get a substantial boost in both competitive strength and brand influence. According to Parishioner, Liverpool have officially included Mapper in their plans to bring in the player, and they have already made contact with him. Liverpool is reportedly willing to pay £130 million for Mapper, so that the top-class attacker will be in the bag at the end of this season. However, sources say that Liverpool may choose to add Salas to the transfer to offset part of the transfer fee and also to control the team's payroll.

The second is in the midfield position, Liverpool also hope to complete some big transfers, so that the team's weak midfield to get strengthened. According to Football Insider, Kl opp never hid his admiration for England international Deccan Rice. In Slop's opinion, Deccan Rice is one of the few players in the transfer market who can solve the team's midfield problems on his own. But to sign this top midfielder, Liverpool will need to pay a transfer fee of about 100 million pounds.
