John Aldridge gives damning assessment of Liverpool’s attack

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has said that he does not believe that the current Reds attack is good enough.

He also added that he does not feel that Daniel Sturridge is the player that he was a couple of years ago and that Jurgen Klopp should search the market for a new quality striker.

The Reds have endured frustration so far this season. Prior to their 7-0 thrashing of Maribor in the Europa League on Tuesday, they had gone their previous eight games in all competitions without a win. They will face a tough test this weekend when they face off against Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.

Aldridge said: “While this Liverpool team will score goals, they will not be complete until they get a potent lead striker and the players they have at the club now are not doing the job required of them.

“Daniel Sturridge is not the player he was a couple of years back, Roberto Firmino will never be a lead striker and Dominic Solanke is a young kid making his way in the game. So Klopp and his transfer committee need to solve this scoring problem as soon as possible.”
