Darwin Nunez’s wildcard by Jürgen Klopp will be fixed in ten minutes as Liverpool might find a solution for a new "striker."
In Darwin Nunez’s absence, Jürgen Klopp's last-ditch gamble against Crystal Palace might well provide the adjustment his Liverpool squad needs before facing Manchester United.
Although it would be a little unfair to call it a crisis right now, Liverpool are undoubtedly perilously close to the season's start and are teetering on the edge of disaster.
Darwin Nez's petulant red card has exacerbated to Liverpool's problems and significantly reduced Jürgen Klopp's options in attack for the Reds, compounding already existing and rising injuries. Additionally, it has resulted in Liverpool earning just two points from their first two games and having already established a gaping abyss of four points between themselves and first a Premier League position.
The only team in the top six that has had a worse start is Manchester United, and Liverpool's upcoming matchup with them is on Monday night.
With Roberto Firmino maybe available to play, Klopp will hope to have some returning players. However, the Liverpool manager may have discovered a different approach to fixing the team's aggressive line-up against Crystal Palace through his final replacement of the game.
In the final ten minutes of Liverpool's game against Crystal Palace, Fábio Carvalho replaced Luis Dáz to play on the left side of the attack while switching with him to go into the center and fill the role of a false nine, Despite the fact that Carvalho's appearance was brief, it showed a lot of promise.
In reality, it might have paid off as the ideal substitution for Klopp, with the press waxing lyrical about Carvalho after a last-second winner in front of the Kop, had he angled his powerful volley from just beyond the box a little closer to the goal.
Even if Carvalho's debut did not end on such a high one, he was in the correct spots and provided Liverpool with a new outlet and, more crucially, a goalscoring threat, something Klopp needs to consider given that Nez won't be playing in Liverpool's upcoming three matches.
Without Diogo Jota and perhaps Roberto Firmino, who stayed home from the game on Monday out of concern, Carvalho unquestionably possesses the aptitude for finding the back of the net that is possessed by so few members of this Liverpool team.
One of the reasons he stood out as a midfielder for Fulham while rising through the ranks was his ability to drift into the appropriate locations and get a shot off toward the goal to challenge goalkeepers.
