If one damning statistic sums up Liverpool’s misfiring season, this must be it

Transfer priority number one: get someone in the door who can score goals.

Liverpool finished their season in ignominious style - losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace at home and 6-1 to Stoke at The Britannia, on Sunday. The consolation goal against The Potters arrived courtesy of Steven Gerrard. By scoring his ninth goal of the season, the outgoing Liverpool captain became the club's outright top scorer for 2014/15 [Raheem Sterling scored eight]. The fact that two midfielders - albeit ones with attacking inclinations - topped the scoring charts demonstrates the dearth of decent striking performances at the club. This statistic, however, aptly describes to funk Liverpool have been in since Luis Suarez joined Barcelona and Daniel Sturridge was revisited by the same injury blight that has dogged most of his career. If Brendan Rodgers is allowed to remain in charge, he will be charged with getting two goalscorers in the door to go with Divock Origi, Rickie Lambert and, perhaps, the misfiring Mario Balotelli. https://instagram.com/p/3FOEGOrjwC/?taken-by=mb459
