Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers assessed that the primary reason behind the Reds dismal showing in the previous term was their failure to score goals on consistent basis, and vowed to bring in more reinforcements to bolster his attacking front.
The Merseyside club managed to score just 47 goals during their entire league campaign, including just 24 at Anfield-their lowest tally at home since 1904. In total, they won 6 out of 19 matches at home.
Consequently, the new boss Rodgers signed striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 for an estimated 11 million pounds transfer fee, as he looks to reverse the catastrophic situation at the club.
According to reports, the Northern Irishman is also close to sealing a deal for the Fulham forward, Clint Dempsey and has already unravelled his intention of off loading the club’s 35 million pounds striker, Andy Carroll.
When asked to comment on his summer transfer activities, Rodgers responded by saying that the upcoming season was all about getting the reinvigoration process underway, and revealed that more reinforcements were just around the corner.
He explained his interest in signing new strikers by citing the Reds meagre goal tally last season, and indicated that since he was planning on adopting a more aggressive 4-3-3 formation, it was pertinent that he acquired the services of more attackers.
While talking to reporters, he said: “People talk about the goal scoring last year...For a lot of last season the team played 4-4-2. People cry out about playing two strikers up front, yet everyone at the end of the season said we didn’t score enough.”
“With 4-3-3 you play with three strikers, depending on the types they are – whether it’s one up and two wide or one up and two more narrow.”
The former Swansea City boss is currently in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 boss on the 21st of July against Toronto. During the tour, the Reds are scheduled to play three pre-season friendly games.
