'England have seven strikers, why don't we?' - Klopp says lack of No 9 is Germany's greatest flaw

The Liverpool boss has vented his frustration over the shortage of attacking talent coming through at youth level for Die Mannschaft

Jurgen Klopp believes Germany's lack of No 9 options is their greatest flaw, posing the question "England have seven strikers, why don't we?".

Germany resume their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign away against Liechtenstein on Thursday, where they will be aiming to put a disappointing showing at this summer's European Championships behind them.

Die Mannschaft suffered a 2-0 defeat to England in the round of 16, and Klopp has now admitted being envious of the attacking depth the Three Lions have at their disposal.
