Ranking every liverpool striker since fernando torres left
A challenging task! Here's my ranking of every Liverpool striker since Fernando Torres left in January 2011:
- Roberto Firmino (2015-present): 8.5/10 Firmino has been a revelation for Liverpool, offering a unique blend of creativity, work rate, and finishing ability. He's scored crucial goals and has been an integral part of the team's success.
- Sadio Mané (2016-present): 8.2/10 While primarily a winger, Mané has often played as a striker and has been incredibly effective. His pace, power, and finishing ability make him a nightmare for defenders.
- Mohamed Salah (2017-present): 8.1/10 Salah's first season at Liverpool was phenomenal, and while he's had some ups and downs since, he remains one of the team's most clinical finishers.
- Daniel Sturridge (2013-2019): 7.8/10 Sturridge had some brilliant moments for Liverpool, but his injury record and inconsistency held him back from reaching his full potential.
- Divock Origi (2014-present): 7.5/10 Origi has been a reliable and clinical finisher, often coming off the bench to make a significant impact. His goals in the 2018 Champions League final will be remembered forever.
- Dominic Solanke (2017-2019): 7.2/10 Solanke showed promise in his early days at Liverpool, but ultimately struggled to establish himself as a regular starter.
- Danny Ings (2015-2019): 7.1/10 Ings had a tough time at Liverpool, struggling with injuries and finding it difficult to displace Firmino and Sturridge in the starting lineup.
- Christian Benteke (2015-2016): 6.8/10 Benteke had a disappointing spell at Liverpool, failing to live up to his price tag and struggling to find consistency in front of goal.
- Mario Balotelli (2014-2016): 6.5/10 Balotelli's time at Liverpool was marked by controversy and inconsistency. He showed flashes of brilliance, but ultimately failed to deliver on his potential.
- Rickie Lambert (2014-2015): 6.2/10 Lambert was a decent signing, but his lack of pace and physicality made it difficult for him to make an impact in the Premier League.
- Fabio Borini (2012-2015): 6.0/10 Borini had a tough time at Liverpool, struggling to find his place in the team and often being criticized for his lack of finishing ability.
Note: This ranking is subjective and based on my analysis of each player's performance during their time at Liverpool.
