Rodgers expects goals to flow again

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists his side have not lost their fear factor following the departure of striker Luis Suarez — but he is still looking for a top-class replacement.

The Uruguay international scored 31 league goals last season as the Reds ran Manchester City a close second in the Premier League. However the controversial 27-year-old left for Barcelona in a £75 million (€93m) deal earlier in the summer.

Without Suarez there is an assumption Liverpool will not be as effective but Rodgers does not think that will be true.
