Goal-shy Liverpool must spend big

Liverpool 0 Charlton 0

The longer it goes without Liverpool’s front men taking advantage from the countless chances created - they had 21 shots against a defiant but deeply defensive Charlton - the more obvious it is that there will be big changes soon in the striking department.

It is 11 games now - back to December 28 - since they scored more than two in a league game, and a repeat of that against Benfica on Wednesday will see an abrupt end to their Champions League involvement.
