Jamie Carragher says «something is not right» with Liverpool's front line after they missed more opportunities in their 1-1 Saturday Night Football draw with Arsenal.
Liverpool had 13 shots at Anfield but only scored through Mohamed Salah's first half strike, leaving Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez in poor goalscoring form.
Gakpo failed to get a shot off against the Gunners despite starting as Jurgen Klopp's No 9, with Diaz on a run of one goal in 15 Premier League games and Nunez goalless in 12 straight games.
That just leaves Salah to carry the attacking load for Liverpool, but he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations in early January and could miss a month of action.

«Looking at Liverpool's front three, there's something not right about it,» Carragher said on the Gary Neville Podcast.
«Gakpo has been here for nearly 12 months and he's had flashes but nowhere near enough. Diaz looks a shadow of himself after his knee injuries last season.
»I really feel that Diaz needs to have a good second half of the season otherwise Liverpool will be going into the market in the summer on the left-hand side. It just feels that with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino going, they haven't replaced them in terms of quality.
