Debating what needs to happen with Liverpool's forward line this summer after Jurgen Klopp departs
Liverpool's Merseyside derby defeat to Everton hammered home the deficiencies that remain in Jurgen Klopp's squad this season.
It's not quite that simple, though. While the fact Liverpool are creating chances suggests the supply line isn't the problem, quite often they are fashioning opportunities for themselves rather than being fed by other areas of the pitch. Ultimately, though, too many times the forwards have demonstrated a lack of composure at the critical moment, missing far too many chances that should have been scored.
But what's clear is that nobody is safe this summer. Liverpool should listen to all offers and act where appropriate. Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez haven't fully developed as Liverpool will have liked and while I wouldn't be desperate to see them both leave - they can both still improve - a tempting offer might need serious consideration.
Theo Squires: If you’d said at the start of the season that Liverpool’s five forwards would all finish in double figures, with Mohamed Salah likely to hit 25 goals, Darwin Nunez not far off 20, and the remaining three all around the 15-goal mark, we’d all be saying happy days. Evidently, be careful what you wish for.
