£42 million worth of strikers cannot remove a striker who has scored 1 goal (from 1 yard out) in 20 odd games is dire every way you look at it.
Eventually we would have no option in my opinion. If he doesn't perform in the next couple of games then yes I think we try something else and use him off the bench. It doesn't have to be a long or even medium term plan. If he gets a goal off the bench it could get him going.
We have - one forward is not the answer, we went for a 0-0 & never got it ....

He has scored 0 goals in 19 games.
Nearly every team plays one central striker. That's not the issue. The quality of our build up play and our poor finishing are the issues

It's going to. But who wants to be a tedious bore and pull up a spelling on a football forum?
Peter crouch went 18 games without scoring a goal for Liverpool
Dcl has broke the record

We packed the midfield using our two wingers - not one corner - it's City we drew 1-1 there last season .... but had a stronger team imo ....

I am very aware that Haaland is a top 3 striker in the world right now, while DCL is a decent prem-level striker at max who is not in form and it doesn't make sense to compare their ability in general. I was more pointing out this situation. We win a ball 30 yards away, could make a through pass to McNeil who would be able to take a shot from a quite good position but take a decision that gives away a good opportunity as often this season. It's As mentioned a lot, we have a quality problem on the ball and it's not easy for a striker to be involved as we are mainly defending and not getting a lot of support from the midfield. So we need to be effective when we get close there.

Of course City are a better side
But I'm talking about this long run of poor performances, not just today. We don't need Dom to score every other week but 19 games is virtually half a season. We need better in front of goal - I dont think it's unreasonable to expect a bit better.

Not even close
We play hoof ball with one up front - we have score 1/2 of our goals from set pieces ... says it all yes Dom has missed the odd chance but its his only chance in that particular game we create very little for any striker ....
