Liverpool have been in terrible form since the turn of the year and so far, manager Jurgen Klopp has done nothing to reinforce his squad in the winter transfer window.
The Reds were fantastic in the first half of the season but since the departure of Sadio Mane to the AFCON, things have been completely different.
In the absence of the former Southampton star, fans hoped that other attacking players will step up but unfortunately, that did not happen. The performances have been average and it will be fair to say that star striker Daniel Sturridge has been totally useless.
The England international was brilliant for the Merseysiders in his first full season with the club. After that, he has only been an injury prone player.
French international Sakho has already been out of favor and now reports suggest that Klopp does not want Sturridge around as well.
Daily Mirror claim that the former Borussia Dortmund manager has lost patience with the center forward’s injury record, therefore, Liverpool are set to get rid of him next summer and will bring more attacking players. Daniel currently earns (Star) £120,000-a-week ($150,000-a-week) with the Reds.

About time we got rid of the dead wood, such as Sturridge, Lucas, Sakho, Moreno, Origi and, on current form, Wijnaldum and Can. I’d also cull some of our younger players who obviously won’t make the grade despite having numerous chances. Despite having tens of millions in the bank we hear rumours of us buying yet another kid, this time from Africa, who has been playing in some God-forsaken crappy league somewhere so is totally unsuited to top-level English football at a time when are screaming for quality players to join us.
Is the idea to keep buying kids so we can sell them on at a profit later? If so, count me out. I want the money people to weep as we buy the best players available. Until the last few days I hoped we’d go for Griezeman even though it would blow our record purchase fee out of the water. Now, obviously, if we approached him he’d laugh.
With no European football it was ludicrous to ‘rest’ nine players for an important cup-tie and especially after recent results. Why does Klopp always want to field the weakest team he can manage to HOPEFULLY be strong enough to win games? What is wrong with beating teams 4-0? We struggled against Plymouth, twice, and then he fields a ludicrously weak team against a team much better than Plymouth. Chelsea slaughtered their opposition, City slaughtered theirs and Arsenal slaughtered theirs. Spurs, also fielding a young team, only just beat Wycombe. If we played Lincoln, would we field a team full of ground-staff, meat pie salesmen and guys selling programmes as they ran down the wing?
Most of our top players are being paid £100,000 a week for playing in 30 games each a year. Roger Hunt and Co. used to play in every game with 60 games a year being the norm . . . and all for a mere fraction of that wage and with waist-high tackles flying in every minute or so.
Our squad is too small and, other than Coutinho, Lallana, Clyne and Firmino, isn’t good enough. The honeymoon period is over for Mr Klopp and I don’t want to see him smiling and joking, during interviews, when he’s on £220,000 per week and we are losing three games at home – soon to be four – in about ten or eleven days.
I don’t mind managers having the odd soft or blind spot but every fan can see we haven’t got a keeper, we need a new LB, we need at least one more dominant CB to replace Lovren, we don’t have a DM, we have no width, we don’t have a decent striker and Lucas is not good enough after only ten years of proving the point to us with every appearance! Why can’t he see that lot?
