Liverpool supporters in the Transfer Tavern are anticipating an eventful week in the transfer window.

Our resident Reds fans are still delighted that Jurgen Klopp secured the club’s return to the Champions League.

Additionally, they are pleased with the summer recruits of Dominic Solanke and Mohammed Salah, yet they’re expecting further additions to be made before the transfer window concludes.

If the Reds are to be competitive in every major competition next season, then it is vital that they utilise their financial resources in the transfer market.

While it remains incredibly important to discuss potential transfer activity, our landlord has opted to focus on players who are already at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal.

Our landlord has highlighted two players whose Liverpool careers are going downhill….

Daniel Sturridge

While it’s important to recognise that Sturridge’s career as a Liverpool player has been troubled persistently by injury, the Englishman has since lost his status as the Reds’ foremost attacker.

A total of 60 goals in 119 games is very respectable indeed, and Sturridge played a vital role as Liverpool almost won the Premier League for the very first time in the 2013/14 season.

Nevertheless, Klopp used him sparingly last season, with Sturridge registering only seven starts in the Premier League.

While Sturridge’s talent is unquestionable and while he’s been a player of notable significance for Liverpool, he’s reaching the pinnacle of his abilities and has since been dismantled as Liverpool’s striker by Roberto Firmino.

Unless Sturridge can convince Klopp to reconsider his preference, it seems unlikely for Sturridge to attain the heights he achieved during the early years of his Liverpool career.

Danny Ings

Since arriving at Liverpool in the Summer of 2015, Ings has been subjected to injury after injury. In total, the 24-year-old has missed 468 days through injury, meaning that he was an absentee for 85 games.

He’s only managed to make 11 appearances over the course of two seasons for the Reds and is still recovering from a knee operation.

This had come as a bitter disappointment to Liverpool supporters, who were optimistic of Ings when he signed from Burnley.

To score 11 goals in a relegated Burnley side was an impressive feature, especially for a player as young as Ings.

Nonetheless, misfortune and injuries have severely hindered his progression as Liverpool player.
