I'm just askiing this, so hopefully I don't get my head chewed off. But, would Lalana not make a fairly good striker? He is a forward player, has skill, seems to have strenght, has a good shot, seems to be able to hold up the ball.

Well his general position is supposed to be as an attacking midfielder lurking behind a front two who bursts through from behind the strikers in the tradition of the great Michael Laudrup.

So we basically bought a player who primarily fills a role in a formation of play that we don't actually use.

Only Brendan Rodgers.

Not a good enough finisher to be a striker in my opinion.
Striker is a specialist position, the movement, the runs, the timing it's all completely different.

Lacks pace and acceleration in the final third.

I think one of the aims moving into next season would be to NOT play players out of position again.
