I would have at least preferred a striker who has played more than 1 game in 2020.

+WHERE THE FACK IS QUAG’s FACE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Lichtsteiner was quite bad technically and creating space or opportunities on his own. But he played with ferocious drive, was solid defensively and had clever off the ball movement that he relied heavily on. Adept finishing those off.
I kinda agree he is somewhat overrated after he left us, rose tinted prose about him allways that did not fit his at times limited football ability. But that insane drive and sense of knowing what's to be done in most situations is easy qualities to make you popular with fandom.

To be fair Licht was quite bit better end product then Kwadwo, who just went wide and couldn't deliver any final balls or as good off the ball runs.
He had better dribbling then Licht and better technique, but couldn't really use it. Bit conservative and lacking end product. Kinda like a declined Sandro.
While Licht was just blitzkrieg attacking off ball in his flank nonstop, constantly available and joining in attacks. His technical limitation didn't stop his fervour which made him a productive player nonetheless.
But yeah boths individual limitations to create were event in the big games, where they had to create for themselves but couldn't when the spaces were shrinking and Pirlo and the world class midfield couldn't give them behind the lanes passes as much.
That's where I see Conte learned his lessons. Ever since then he has sought after wingbacks that are good one on one. He started very early with Perisic but was unable to convince him, took him a long time to accept the role and understand that it isn't a traditional wingback but a winger with good stamina and hard work rate.
Asamoah was also too easily scared. Extremely low-risk, but in the first initial months he was more attacking and offered more in attack. Then he was turned around by Conte's risk-elimination.
In hindsight Llorente would probably have been more prolific with wingbacks who could cross. I agree.
