#4 A poor day for the Liverpool attack

Origi’s penalty was saved easily

Daniel Sturridge, on his day, is one of the top strikers in the league and Divock Origi is one of the most talented forwards in England, but both of Liverpool’s forwards were lacklustre in a game they should have put to bed long ago.

It has been a massively disappointing season for Sturridge as he has failed to get on the scoresheet often, looks disinterested and out of touch. He was subbed off in the 65th minute for the debutant, Wilson and departed the field with a frustrated look on his face.

While Origi was livelier than his teammate, he missed a penalty in the dying minutes of the game with a very poor effort. He could not muster a proper shot throughout otherwise, and he would not be too happy with his game either.

Liverpool have scored only five goals in their last six games and two in their last four - both of which came from dead ball situations. With the League Cup semi-final second leg on the horizon and Chelsea visiting Anfield soon, this is something Klopp will definitely want to look into.
