Liverpool: Klopp has easy solution to fix goal-scoring problem
By Bence Bocsak
As the minutes idly tick by, the strenuous and tantalising wait continues. The neck bulges but not from the impact of a thunderous ball, rather by the echoing and reverberating moans and groans from Liverpool fans around the world.
Liverpool’s lack of proficiency in front of goal in the Premier League has been a concerning factor of their plummet down the league table.
Jurgen Klopp and his men are struggling. They are in a crisis which needs to be put right as soon as possible.

Otherwise, forget the league title, even the top four could elude them. And that would be a disastrous season for the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have struggled.
As Klopp’s men continue to bombard the pitch with crosses, eyebrows are being raised. There is no real aerial threat coming from the Reds trio upfront.
Klopp needs an alternative. Someone who can provide the same intensity of pressing at the opposition’s final third, but at the same time be able to attack the Reds potent crosses.
Divock Origi has often provided that aerial threat for the Reds in the past, but the Belgian forward has been severely out of form in recent months and does not provide the defensive work-rate which makes Klopp’s sides tick.
There is an obvious and perfect solution for the Reds from one of their favourite place to purchase players Red Bull Salzburg.
Patson Daka.
The Zambian would provide the aerial threat to get at the end of crosses even in low-blocks. On top of that he has the pace, and the work-rate to suit Jurgen Klopp’s style of play.
Patson Daka already impressed against the Reds earlier this season scoring a brace against Klopp’s side in pre-season.
And the Zambian is purportedly a huge Liverpool fan. According to his coach, Lee Kawanu speaking to First Time Finish, ‘it was a dream’ for Daka to score against his boyhood club. The team ‘he and his dad’ both supported.
Moving to Anfield would be a natural step for Patson Daka. The Zambian is ready for a higher level. And there would be no better place to start than with Jurgen Klopp.
He could become a fan favourite at the club.
