Think he's going to be eased in (Robertson, Fabinho) rather than thrown in (VVD/ Thiago) throughout the season.
Whether that is due to his his performance in preseason / training or an inability to immediately adapt to his new surroundings/teammates/tactics remains to he seen.
From what I can tell he's had very little time in the friendlies with the likes of TAA/ Robertson/Thiago and Diaz who would be the ones who are looking for him on the end of a cross/through ball.
Definitely some early pressure on him due to the fee and he does look sloppy in possession.
I agree with you. It appears he was bought to bury all those chance their front 4 waste like free napkins at Wendy's. Yes, Mané and Salah waste loads of chance too last season. Origi had better conversion rate but he's gone now and wasn't even playing regularly in the first place. With Minamino also leaving, his purchase seems make sense. He does get into dangerous position and good at getting a shot in afterall.
His understanding with his teammate is still erratic at best. This negate the initial premise that he will finish his chance; the ball didn't reach him regularly in the first place. He seems to have good mentality looking at his history. With more acclimatizing, it will come together. The question is how long.
The more worrying trend is actually Diaz, he seems to unable to find his shooting boots after half a season. He's tremendously skillful but his finishing touch is often off. Jota getting injured is also worrying, he's a supposed to be a safe card they can fall back on. Salah is just Salah, I have learnt not to second-guess him too much.
