Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has urged the forwards to contribute goals so as to take the weight off the shoulders of captain Steven Gerrard.
The England midfielder staged a great rescue act to pull the Reds out of trouble as he got a brace from his attacking midfield position after the hosts had fallen behind 0-2 to Phil Brown’s side.
The Reds could only manage a 2-2 draw at Anfield that also came at the back of stalemates with Fulham and West Ham United.
Liverpool are currently without injured Spanish star striker Fernando Torres, while £20m summer-signing Robbie Keane has failed to establish himself as first-choice and was an unused substitute against the Tigers yesterday. Dirk Kuyt has also failed to score regularly of late after being amongst the goals earlier in the season.
Benitez said: "Gerrard is always a threat playing in that attacking midfield role, but we need more people to score goals. We need to see more, especially the players up front, to score more goals."
