Liverpool must buy a striker in January window
Most Liverpool fans will have been aware of this for some time, but if there was any game that emphasised this point, it was Saturday’s draw with Sunderland. Rickie Lambert has improved since he’s started playing regularly, but is not a long term solution to a lone striker. Daniel Sturridge’s injury issues, and Mario Balotelli’s disciplinary problems have only served to ramp up our desperate need for a new forward – be it Porto’s Jackson Martinez, or another of our rumoured targets. We are looking more solid at the back, and now need to address the problems going forward.
