Does Liverpool need goals? Here's the answer for Klopp

Although the criticism surrounding Liverpool's poor start in all competitions ceased somewhat after that win against Ajax in the UEFA Champions League, there is still some criticism that revolves around the midfield and the offensive power that has not looked so fine and hilarious with Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah as the focal points, with the team's last two wins coming from players who are not strikers.

But even if the positive results do not come from the attacking block, it is worth highlighting and recognising Jürgen Klopp's team how well they do from the set piece, more specifically, the corner kick, where Joel Matip in the Europa League and Fabio Carvalho in the Premier League gave the most recent 3 points on the hour that are moderately saving that bad start to the 2022-2023 season at Anfield.

So far Liverpool have seen action in eight games spread between the Premier and Champions League, scoring a total of 17 goals of which five have come from corners, bringing two of them points that directly help the Reds in their fight for the top places. The game in which they made the most of this was precisely in the thrashing of Bournemouth at Anfield, where a third of the goals came from the corner.

This type of goals that come from a set piece speak of how well the Reds work this type of situation, but at the same time it is also an indicator of how irregular the whole squad is when it comes to setting up a play and getting dangerously close to the rival area, as it was only against Bournemouth that shots from half distance and crosses from the flanks had a positive effect on the scoreboard, as against teams with more weight such as Manchester United or Napoli, this situation changed completely.

The Reds irregularity that seems to be living its last days seeks to be eradicated by Jurgen Klopp and his board in the winter market with a couple of reinforcements that they already have in their sights, as from Anfield it is believed that the midfield is the area causing the inefficiency in both defence and offence, proving part of their theory with the return of Thiago Alcántara who changed the face of the team in the Champions League game, although it is also true that attackers like Jota and Núñez are not at their highest level.
