#2 Liverpool not over-dependent on Daniel Sturridge

Goals came from all across the pitch for Liverpool

Ever since Luis Suarez switched the red half of the Merseyside for the Catalan colors of Barcelona, one man has been tasked with the responsibility of finding the back of the net for the Reds, Daniel Sturridge. While the English man has been a prolific presence in front of the goal, his troubles with injuries have impacted the fortunes of his club in the recent past.

However, this season, Jurgen Klopp seems to be finding a way to keep his best striker as a peripheral figure and yet score goals consistently. Until the start of the game, 7 Liverpool players had already scored for the club. On the evening, 2 more players, Emre Can and Joel Matip joined the league of Liverpool players who have found the back of the net in the league in the current season.

With the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Ragnar Klavan, and Divock Origi having already been amongst the goals in competitions other than the league, it must be a pleasing fact for the Reds faithful in turn, reducing the side’s overdependence on the Englishman Sturridge.
