2. Ability to create and score goals
The one thing Liverpool’s midfield has been lacking has been goals. Apart from Steven Gerrard (9 last season, 5 so far this season), most of Liverpool’s midfielders have failed to get on the score sheet on a regular basis, and that is not even considering the fact that Gerrard is Liverpool’s first choice penalty taker.
What makes Inler so dangerous is that he does not need to get into the penalty box in order to score- all 7 of his league goals in the last couple of seasons have been long range strikes from outside the box. He is comfortable shooting with both feet, and that will add a different kind of threat to Liverpool’s play in and around the opposition’s penalty box. He also creates chances from his deeper role, having created 13 chances including 1 assist this season and 28 chances including 2 assists, and has a decent passing accuracy of 87% this season and 85% last season.
