9 Players that could Lift Liverpool's Season.




Liverpool is having a resurgence under Brendan Roger this season. Second place in the league and playing with a swagger and venomous attack of the likes never seen in a long while.  So great is the confidence at the Kop these days, that there are even  murmurs of a possible title challenge. Why not? The Reds have leading their attacker, possibly the most lethal striker in world football right now. Yes, that  man we love to "hate", Luis Suarez. Anyway, what artist will accomplish much without a great supporting cast. Henderson is looking the player, we all thought he wasn't. 
Gerrard is exemplary as always, Coutinho and Sturridge have been in phenomenal form when they have been fit.  Flanagan, Allen and especially Raheem have been putting up sterling performances.
In the summer, Rogers made an inspired decision in replacing Reina, who was the weak link at the back at last season, with Minolet in goal and fortifying the central defense with Sakho.


The first team is obviously awesome,but a long injury list could derail Liverpool's title charge.
Hence the case for reinforcements in key areas. One area sorely needing attention is midfield 

See below my recommendations for Rogers.

1. KOSTAS MITROGLOU:
Is a Greek footballer who plays as a striker for Olympiacos and the Greek national team. Mitroglou started his career at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he established himself as an excellent prospect now with his prolific form at Olympiacos, he has become one of the highly sought players in the world.
Relevance: 4/10

2.Mohammed Salah
It seems pretty certain that the “Egyptian Messi” who tormented both Chelsea and Tottenham in Europe, will be a Liverpool player in January.
Salah would fit nicely in the wings and give Raheem and Victor Moses some healthy competition.
Relevance: 7/10

3.Will Hughes - Derby's teenage midfielder has terrific ball control with an eye for goal and his playing style is similar to the Super Eagles’ Mikel not the Chelsea one. He is certainly one for the future.
Relevance:6/10

4.John Guidetti - Once a hot property of Feyenord, Guidetti made an error by join Manchester City a club known for buying stars for their first team. He is about to reverse himself by leaving in January and could flourish at Liverpool.
Relevance: 5/10

5.Onazi- the Nigerian defensive midfielder is highly mobile and renown for breaking up opponents’ attacks and one of the hottest young players in the world right now. Onazi would be useful in deputizing for Lucas, should the defensive midfielder get injured or lose form.
Relevance:8/10


6.Salomon Rondon - Reportedly a Liverpool target when Suarez's exit from the club seemed inevitable, Rondon could be on his way out at Rubin Kazan and Liverpool may well renew their interest in the forward.
Relevance:9/10

7.Ola Toivonen - Liverpool needs height and power and the powerful Swede could provide that. Also, he could be a “cheap” addition since he is available on a free in the summer.
Relevance:8/10

8.Lacina Traoré
The Ivorian striker, currently at Anzhi Makhachkala, who stands at 6 feet and 8 inches, could provide the Reds with an added option should Sturridge remain absent. Traore is likely to be offloaded by the side from Dagestan who are cost cutting. And the strong targetman could be a good 'Plan B' should Liverpool need one.
Relevance:7/10


9.Kelechi Iheanacho- He has already signed for Manchester City but Liverpool should be ready to pick him up when he inevitably leaves City in frustration of lack of first team football.
Relevance: 2/10
