Red Star Belgrade 2-0 Liverpool: 5 Talking Points, UEFA Champions League 2018/19

#3 For all their summer recruitment, Liverpool's depth in attack is suspect

Lallana did not have one of his better games in Belgrade

Liverpool's front three were sensational last season, but the problem was seen in their replacements, who were not quite good enough. This season, on paper the situation looks good. Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge are fit again, Divock Origi is back from a loan spell, and new signing Xherdan Shaqiri has looked promising.

Klopp gave starts to Sturridge and Lallana in Belgrade, but both looked off the pace. Sturridge missed a golden chance in the early stages and Lallana was loose in midfield. Shaqiri still looks like a good option, but he did not travel due to political reasons.

As the festive period approaches and the fixtures pile up, Klopp will surely have to rotate his squad. Mane, Salah and Firmino cannot play every game, and the whole squad will have to be utilised. Whether they can do the job remains doubtful at this juncture.
