That's your opinion, which is absolutely fine and you're perfectly entitled to have it.
Play Devil's Advocate for a moment though. Is it SO baffling?
The lad manages 26 goals in 28 League appearances last season. Think it was 34 goals in 41(?) appearances in all comps as well. It's a weaker League - sure - but he knows how to score goals.
Does he need to do better in front of goal tonight? Absolutely - at least one of them has to go in, irrespective of McGregor having a good game.
But he was moving well and got into the good positions to score in the first place not to mention that of his 4 shots, he gets all of them on target. As he regains some form and confidence, he'll start making better choices - lifting the ball over the keeper, finding the corners, sweeping it in rather than blasting it - and so on. His movement and touch for the chance provided from relatively deep by Henderson were great - a shame he gets a bit over-excited and hits it straight at the keeper.
He won't regain confidence sitting on the bench. If Klopp doesn't pick him at the weekend that's no problem - though I do hope he gets at least 20 minutes from the bench if he isn't started. Arsenal are a shorter side and a set piece could be the difference.
Besides, as amazing as Salah has been for us, he has had plenty of games where he fluffed chance after chance - usually getting a goal eventually to be fair - which Núñez will too, I have no doubt.
