The boss at Anfield, Brendan Rodgers, has hinted he may sign Michael Owen in order to strengthen his attacking front, following the Reds 2-0 defeat against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 on Sunday.
Liverpool lost the services of Andy Carroll, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163.
Their lack of penetration upfront was clearly visible in the match against the Gunners, as despite putting up a dominant show, they failed to make the most out of their chances.
Hence, the men in red were left l*****g their wounds, as they have now managed only a single point out of their first three games.
However, while talking to the reporters in the post match interview, the Northern Irishman hinted that he could sign the Liverpool legend, Michael Owen, to ease his attacking woes.
The 32-year old appeared in the transfer market as a free agent, after completing his stipulated deal with Manchester United this summer. He was heavily linked to making a move to Stoke City or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, but ended up without a contract.
The Ulsterman told the reporters, “Any player I believe can improve the squad I will look at. We've got a very small group, 19 players training yesterday morning, and some very young players in and amongst that.”
“I can't say no [about Owen], I always have to look and see where we can improve the group.”
Rodgers failure to land a replacement for Andy Carroll – who was sent out on loan to West Ham United close to the transfer deadline day – sparked wide scale criticism from former players and the fans.
One of them was Jamie Redknapp. The ex-http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 midfielder termed the current week as a ‘disastrous’ one for the Merseyside team, and advised the manager to quickly seal a deal for the English International.
“If I was them the first thing I would do is go and get http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 now. He is free agent. They need to do something because at the moment there are real problems for Brendan,” he said.
Earlier, the striker made 297 appearances for the Anfield side in between the period of 1996 to 2004, and notched up 158 goals.
