Liverpool Shouldn’t Overthink It. I've been watching a lot of Malick Fofana this past few days. There’s a certain menace to the way he moves. He doesn’t glide, he barrels forward with the kind of purpose that unsettles defenders before he’s even touched the ball. He rides tackles like they’re insults to his dignity and keeps going, low to the ground, always in motion, always looking to break something open. For the price, the timing, and the profile, he’s as close to a no-brainer as it gets. #LFC probably don’t need another marquee attacker, they need variation, hunger, and players who stretch the shape of a game. #Fofana does that in spades. He plays like he’s been dared to lose the ball and hates the idea of giving it up. He’s not polished, not yet, but his rawness is part of the appeal. You get him now or you pay more when someone else does. If #Diaz moves on, the choice is clear. Go all in on a known quantity like #Rodrygo or take the smarter risk on a player like Fofana, who could be the club’s next great disruptor. The latter is cheaper, hungrier, but could potentially block the development of a genuine in-house prospect like Rio Ngumoha. It's a tricky predicament, but Liverpool need to let Rio grow at his own pace regardless. Don’t drown him in expectation. What you want from a squad player isn’t just quality, it’s difference. Someone who changes the tempo when they come on. Fofana can do that already. He’ll take whatever minutes he’s given and make them feel longer for whoever has to chase him. That’s the sort of profile Liverpool have missed in big games. You don’t need to reinvent the front line. You just need to refresh it with someone who doesn’t play like anyone else you have in the squad.
