Need a right winger desperately! https://t.co/319kbLt3Ez— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) July 29, 2026PSG inspired front line?Liverpool's ex-number 23 feels that a right winger is more important than another right footer or a more recently 'traditional' left-winger.However, Víctor Muñoz was signed from Osasuna during the World Cup, and while he is also a right footed left winger, he is comfortable playing on the right wing and changing throughout a game.And that appears to be the plan.Not to sound like Arne Slot, but one of the reason's PSG's attack is so dangerous and effective is how fluid and interchangable they are with each other.Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are all comfortable playing anywhere across the front line. And with Hugo Ekitike out for some time, in addition to wanting to keep Alexander Isak as fit as possible, this fluidity and depth will be key for the Reds this season.Is depth an issue?Carra argues that Rio Ngumoha has always played from the left and that Cody Gakpo may be better off leaving the club.Ngumoha himself said that he is improving and getting better at playing on the right.

Being comfortable on both wings will only help his development.Gakpo will probably need to stay for this season at least while Ekitike recovers from his achilles injury, but the club may look to move him on once the Frenchman has returned.At the moment, occupying the front three positions Liverpool have:Left Wingers - Barcola*, Gakpo, Ngumoha, Federico Chiesa, Muñoz Strikers - Isak, Gakpo, ChiesaRight Wingers - Muñoz, Barcola*, Ngumoha, ChiesaOne thing that is glaringly obvious is that depth is an issue. Harvey Elliot could also fill in on the right-wing, but he's not the quickest and is better in central spaces.Whether the club choses Barcola, or a player that has also been linked like Yankuba Minteh or Rayan, another attacking option is needed as Ekitike is sidelined for the majority of the season.Inside forwards or wingers?What is interesting however, is the obsession with inside forwards instead of a 'traditional' winger.

Back in the days, right footed wide players played on the right, and vice versa for the left. But, the last seven winners of the Champions League have had right footed right wingers in their starting 11:Last 7 ucl winning RW’s and their strong footDoue - RIGHTDoue - RIGHTRodrygo - RIGHTMahrez - leftRodrygo - RIGHTJames (RWB) - RIGHTGnabry - RIGHT😂 https://t.co/KviNUMhyLa— Real Hater (@22Hater_) July 29, 2026Proving that having a winger that is a 'cut inside merchant' isn't always the key to success - but fluidity and players who are two footed, are.What next?It is going to be almost impossible to replace Mohamed Salah with a single player.
