John Aldridge: Lack Of Firepower Has Cost Liverpool

The stalemate with Fulham was so frustrating and it underlined what I’ve been saying all season - we don’t have enough firepower.

When Fernando Torres doesn’t play, we struggle for goals. David Ngog might be one for the future but he isn’t dynamic enough.

I don’t think Torres will be risked against West Ham on Monday as Rafa Benitez will want him fit to face Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

And without Torres I can see it being another tight game. I’d put Dirk Kuyt up front as we need someone up there with a bit of punch and guile.

We’re playing for pride in the league now and we need to go into an intriguing tie against Atletico on the back of a decent win.
