What has happened to our forwards?

All gone out of form the same time. In the past when Mo was out of form you had Mane or Bobby step up but unfortunately the newbies just lack that killer instinct

True

Maybe you've just regressed in that area. Diaz is a decent player but he's no Mane. Salah is a top player but he's getting on now maybe the consistency just isn't there anymore, and Nunez well I just don't think he's that good.

Before his injury Diaz was pure quality, he’s been nothing like his former self since.

we are too predictable with how we attack simple as that, easy to defend against if you only have one was of playing. That said a set piece goal of one decent finish and no1s talking about it again. Papers over the cracks that need addressing as a lot of this season has done so far. Lot of work to be done still inc in the transfer window.

I’ve always found Salah to be a moments player to be honest, but generally he is very consistent in his ability to find a goal.

Diaz, I thought you had a superstar there, doesn’t seem to be happening for him of late but I’m sure he I’ll come good for you.

Nunez, less said the better. The guy is a menace, should score bucket loads but appears to be a poor finisher,

Diaz is so predictable. Cut inside towards 3 defenders never goes outside. Nunez doesnt get any space as the wide players cut in. Need to change it up sometimes. We are relyin on crosses from trent.

Nunez is getting a lot of criticism, but the ball has hardly reached him in the box in recent games, I'm not letting him off as his work rate has dropped off, but again he was working with scraps

They are all just off the boil at the same time its as simple as that. You can and szob to that too whos been poor for a few games now.

Get 1 or 2 of them firing again and we'll be fine. Diaz has probably been the poorest given the standards he set himself but given what hes been through in his personal life of late he gets a bit of extra rope.

Its a tough period of the season, games come thick and fast, performances take a back seat to results. We just need to keep going just now and hope a few bodies come back to ease the burden. To be fair the same cam be said for most sides up the top.

Nunez is just a very poor forward. No football brain, doesn't know how to stay onside, or when to run in behind, lacks composure, doesn't use his strength effectively. He'll score the odd decent goal but way too inconsistently.

You'd probably be better off putting Jota there or even better looking for an upgrade up top.

Diaz has never been prolific, really needs to add goals to his game if he is to become a top player. Salah had one of his games when he passes to the keeper with no power in his shots and Nunez doesn't work well against teams who park the bus. He's not great at holding the ball up and playing in the wide players. Gakpo has been awful since he lost his seemingly automatic spot. Even Szobozslai who was a big goal threat has lost his threat in recent games.

It's got that bad that TAA keeps having to move into midfield to provide a threat.

Of course not all doom and gloom but certainly something we need to work on. Perhaps starting TAA in midfield is the answer.
