A couple of things stood out for me from last nights game.Firstly we need an out an out goalscorer if we had one we would have at least been level at half time if not in front. Secondly we need some defenders with out an out pace, I knew Salah was quick but the way both he and Nunez outpaced our back line was frightening whilst I knew Mings and Konsa are not lightening quick I didn't think they were slow but they were certainly made to look like that last night. If we need pace at the back and I think we do then I'm not sure Pau Torres is the answer he is good in the air and reads the game fairly well but he seems to me to be a bit one paced.
The other thing I wondered about was Liverpool's second goal, the ball played through to the Liverpool forward was offside he then crossed the ball which was kicked out by Digne (I think) and VVD scored from the corner admittedly we should have defended the set piece better but the corner came from a player who was offside I take it that's now ok?

100% agree, a more natural goal poacher is an absolute must - I wonder who we will get?
On Pau Torres, I think a defender who reads the game well negates the need for extreme pace but I agree if we intend to play such a high line another CB to partner Costa is a must. Maxence Lacroix perhaps?

Don’t know anything about Lacroix but personally I quite like Tomori
