I don't often agree with you but, you are, as are most of us, Absolutely bang on the money on this one.
We cannot, are not and will not progress until we get a good one.

We have regressed. Ignore the league position, are underlying numbers this season compared to last are awful.
About time this ridiculous 'False 9' experiment comes to an end.

There’s nothing wrong with not starting a striker, in fact I like Trossard starting as a false 9.
BUT the starting 11 today was strange as you need legs around him to get us forward quicker like March and Mwepu. Gross and Moder starting was a big mistake, Gross was awful and his ****ing set pieces drive me to distraction!!
With Mwepu missing, we should have started Maupay and March instead of those two.

Did we actually make any chances for a striker to put away?

Think it is just our annual winter collapse

This is hardly a revelation we all patiently waited in the summer thinking surely we won’t go another season with the same attacking options.
I totally agree and am so sick of the usual suspects rushing along to the defend the club with lines such as “so quick so spend other peoples money” or “we have plenty of other scoring options”.
Facts are this is a football forum and to the vast majority of fans it’s abundantly clear we are in desperate need of a striker. Secondly those “other options” simply do not score goals in the PL as has been proven this season.

I could understand it against Liverpool but to try it against Newcastle and Villa was an obvious massive mistake by Potter. It’s no surprise we struggled to create anything in these 2 matches.

Listen to me!!!
Rubbish
I always regard a false 9 as being an indication either your recognised strikers aren’t good enough or that you haven’t been able to get one good enough (or both). Yes sometimes it’ll work, but because something worked against Liverpool it doesn’t mean it will against Newcastle or Leeds. For the tactical genius he is often hailed as, Potter does get very guilty of finding something and sticking with it even when it isn’t working.
This.
Also how many new threads do we needs about today's result?
I genuinely believe that some posters are unaware that there is a transfer window and it isn't open.
Or that (for a few more days) we are in our highest ever league position.
One thing we can all agree on is that shipping two late goals was painful.

We were clearly trying to sign a striker in the summer, not sure it is Bloom getting it wrong as to the reason we didn't get one.

Without a decent striker in January it's a relegation battle once again!!!
Cucurella put in a sitter of a cross in the first half, even Gazza would have reached it.

Some posters are dinning for far to long on some season success. Seven games without a win two against the worst sides in the league.

You can faff about with tactics as much as you like, but it doesn’t take away the fact that if we had a striker which matches the quality of the rest of the team, we’d win more games.
