I think the demise of the striker is also aided by the relative demise of the winger. There's probably more onus on full backs to provide the width. Most sides seem to play with a front 3 but the wide attacking players aren't there to provide chances as they used to be.
It is all tactical, or lack of it. It stems from our lack of midfield, too. Currently, our full backs come inside, or wingers come inside and we pass the ball around our back 4 and then lump it forward. Pep's team have wide wingers, Klopp's width comes from the full backs or the centre mids pulling out wide. Ours come from nobody
