Few goals are the problem for these players

It is true that Liverpool's main problem is still in midfield as Jurgen Klopp does not have a large squad that he can mould to his style of play, but at least the return of Alcántara is a momentary relief that has led the German coach to concentrate now on other sectors of the pitch such as the attack, closely following the adaptation process of Darwin Núñez and seeing how Diogo Jota ends up rediscovering his best footballing form that made him shine in his first games in red.

The truth is that Klopp cannot wait long for either of these two players to react and take the reins of a team that had Sadio Mané as the killer of the area, opting the German helmsman to keep an eye on other teams in Europe and see if any proposal is interesting enough to put pressure on this pair of elements that have not stood out in this start of the season in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Although the main and easiest solution for the team at Anfield is to give Roberto Firmino more minutes as a starter, the Reds boss is looking for the commitment of youth players in his squad in the process of generational change at Liverpool, with both Jota and Nunez taking on this task that does not seem to be going well, as in recent days interest has begun to circulate in players who despite not occupying the position, have the goalscoring potential to exert the necessary pressure on Jurgen Klopp's players.

At just 21 years of age, Mykhaylo Mudryk is one of the best players in the Ukrainian league today, quickly impressing many clubs in the Champions League this season, as in just two games played, Mudryk has been able to score and assist on a couple of occasions in his two appearances against German giants RB Leipzig and Scottish champions Celtic, putting his team second in the standings only to reigning champions Real Madrid.

These two players have plenty of time in this break to sharpen up their finishing and come back for October with a better level than they have shown so far, with the attack having a tough task in the next few games against two of the teams that have conceded the fewest goals in seven games (Brighton and Arsenal).
