You are wrong, there is another thing that is at play here that no one has mentioned, and it is Klopp related. Forget all this high chances that he has missed for one second. In Klopp's time with us, the guy that has provided the base for the strikers in Mane/Salah was Bobby, there was this predictable pattern that existed based on responsibilities if midfield/attack and dare I say it the timing of players when/where to occupy spaces seemed was like clock-work.
The year we get Nunez - Mane leaves who was a fighter in our team, Bobby for the most part is injured, and our midfield don't have any legs - so I am not counting shit on that season the problems were systemic across the team. So lets focus on what we do now, - the issue we have is that now we have very progressive midfielders, there is no bobby to orchestrate the attack pattern - we have this chaotic way of playing and attacking where I think high rate chances fall to our strikers when they are not expecting them or ready for them instinctively. That chaotic type of attacking is down to our coaching team. Look at Man City/Arsenal this season - there is a predictable attacking pattern to their movement which means their scorers are in position to do the damage in what I regard as lesser occupied space than what we at LFC are used to.
How does this relate to Klopp ? - he's got past in this - I remember reading a story of him meeting our data team and them telling him that his problematic season at Dortmund was strange because they had so many chances that were not put away, and it was a confirmation for him - that he did everything right but for bad luck/timing etc. call it what you want - but it's probably the same shit we witnessed at LFC this season - we create the most chances but fail to put them away. We saw Salah miss some sitters this season as well, its the chaos that also contributes to the miss-firing strike force.
So my theory is - that if Slot can add structure to our attack - then our strikers might be better prepared to put the ball away because they expect it and know what to do.
