£200M ON TWO STRIKERS?! Liverpool’s Huge Gamble

Did Liverpool really need to spend enormous money assembling Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike in the same squad?

On Late Night Live, Craig examines Liverpool's striker situation and questions whether investing around £200m in two centre-forwards was necessary. While Isak offers Liverpool a more conventional No.9, Craig believes Ekitike's energy, movement and ability to drift into different areas makes him more reminiscent of Roberto Firmino – and potentially a more natural fit for Liverpool's overall system.

Craig also tackles the debate around Isak's work without the ball, explaining why Liverpool still need their striker involved in the press rather than simply waiting centrally for possession.

Plus, there's discussion about Kylian Mbappé and whether he could ultimately have achieved even more in his career, before Craig assesses Liverpool's season so far and the level they should realistically be aiming for.
