Pep hates strikers and wants false 9
If even Zlatan flopped what chance does haaland have?

May I know which comments exactly you're referring to?

Haaland is a better goalscorer than Zlatan ever was. His finishing is on a different level simply.
Lewy and Aguero thrived under Pep(Aguero struggled initially tho)...
Any striker who's limited and has glaring flaws in his game might struggle in new systems.

Lewy and Aguero all have good technique
You don't need good finishing in Pep systems
Players like Sterling were all top scorers due to number of chances made in that team
It will be on Google somewhere.. after the Salzburg game he said they were still getting to grips with playing with a proper CF or something along those lines
He doesn't play well but his killer instinct is there. His big miss, comes from his extremely good position ability, already moved when Foden is about to shoot. And that is at 96th minutes of the game.
His technique doesn't close to half of Ibra but he is much faster, also doesn't have attitude problem, eager to learn.

In fairness Ibra has scored 560 goals ( so far) so he is no slouch
Something like 11th best ever goal tally

Actually young Ibra was a poor goalscorer. He improved his goalscoring as he got a bit older.

I understand which comments you're referring to. Klopp said Nunez was isolated upfront and needdd more support. I don't think that means we're struggling to accommodate him at all. This signing was Klopp's personal request. Ofcourse he'll know exactly how he wants to use Darwin.
Look at the game yesterday, he came in replacing Bobby(a false 9) and fitted in straight away. Our system is rigid but in a way flexible too. Jota, Diaz all hit the ground running. Klopp is a genius at this. Don't you worry.
I have no worries about Klopp or Nunez for that matter
It is Diaz?s goal tally that may be an issue ..
He has scored less than 1 goal in 3 and that is in weaker leagues
He is only young though
Maybe the plan is for Nunez and Salah to score all the goals in place of Salah and Mane

Our classic front of Salah Firmino Mane worked despite Bobby not scoring much.
Similarly, Salah Nunez Diaz will work despite Diaz not scoring.
Your forgetting Jota btw who's a brilliant goalscorer.
