Three Liverpool stars Rickie Lambert’s arrival could work wonders for

Daniel Sturridge

In a similar vein to Suarez, Lambert’s impact on Daniel Sturridge will be related to fatigue and injuries.

Sturridge missed the entire Christmas period last season with injury and, if it wasn’t for Suarez’s incredible December performances, Liverpool may have suffered.

When Sturridge was substituted last season, there was only Iago Aspas or Victor Moses to bring on in attack which just wasn’t enough and ultimately cost the Reds in the title race. Sturridge even had to play through injury and had to rush back into action in big games, i.e. the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Anfield.

There were parts of last season where Sturridge was not fit and had to be rushed back due to a lack of quality back-up. With Lambert now at the club, Sturridge can rest easy and return to full fitness when he is ready.

Fabio Borini

Fabio Borini has been linked with a move away from Liverpool but looks likely to stay after settling in the Premier League with Sunderland last season. He is undoubtedly back-up and, without Lambert, would be the only striker in reserve.

He would be learning from Suarez and Sturridge but that could be limited.

Being the only striker as back-up may be a lonely existence and with Lambert, Borini can share it. The 32-year-old also offers a lot of experience and can help tutor Borini into becoming a better striker, too. Lambert has a lot of aspects to his game; skills, vision, passing, creation, and most importantly, goals.

Borini could learn a lot from Lambert.
