Liverpool FC: 3 Things King Kenny Dalglish Can Do to Solve Goal-Scoring Problem
Liverpool has been one of the most frustrating teams to support all season long. While they consistently play well and dominate the game, they have been plagued by the inability to convert chances into goals.
One just has to look at the match against Swansea City this past Saturday to see their ineptitude in front of the goal.
The problem with Liverpool is that it has many creators, but no finishers. Even Luis Suarez does best when he creates his own chances instead of just scoring the easy goal.
Andy Carroll will come along eventually, but even if Carroll was on form, Liverpool is still woefully short in the goal-scoring department.
Liverpool needs to do something to improve their ability in front of the goal.
Start Craig Bellamy with Luis Suarez
1 of 3Craig Bellamy is one of the few players on the Liverpool roster who is not currently injured and has a proven track record in the Premier League.
He has scored in all of the matches that he has started for Liverpool, against Brighton and Norwich. If you give this man a chance, he can score for Liverpool, especially if you let him link up with Luis Suarez.
Even when Bellamy hasn't scored, he has looked dangerous. He has a great shot and is cool in front of the goal, which is exactly what Liverpool need.
Sign Roman Pavlyuchenko in January
2 of 3Roman Pavlyuchenko might just be the answer to Liverpool's problems in front of the goal.
He is getting very little playing time under Harry Redknapp at Tottenham this season, so Liverpool could get a good deal for the Russian striker.
A natural poacher, who excels at finishing chances, Pavlyuchenko could score the easy goals in the box. This is exactly what Liverpool needs, as they have a wealth of creators in their lineup, but very few finishers.
He would be sure to score goals for Liverpool, and if they could work out a deal with Tottenham, it would be a great buy.
Get More Men in the Box
3 of 3Whenever Andy Carroll is in the game, it seems that every player in a red shirt has to boot it long for him to nod it down to another attacker. Throughout most of the season, this tactic hurt Liverpool's build up play and was much maligned by the Liverpool faithful.
Carroll never seemed to able to do anything with the ball when he had it, and inevitably, the Liverpool attack would stall.
However, Carroll has been improving, and in the Swansea game, there were many times where Carroll won the ball out of the air and nodded it down to another Liverpool player—that is, if there was anyone in the box to go at goal.
If Liverpool insists on playing the long ball up to Carroll, then they need to have someone there to finish the move.
Liverpool needs to slow down their game and allow men to get forward before they try this tactic. If they can do this, more goals are sure to come, and we won't be subjected to any more 0-0 draws to minnows at Anfield.
