Brendan Rodgers has asked Liverpool’s owners to provide the funds the club needs to continue their rise up the Premier League.
Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge – courtesy of an equalizer from Luis Suarez – may have given the club a boost, but it still sees them languishing 13th in the Premier League, 15 points behind leaders Manchester United. The former Swansea City manager has called for the club to provide the funds needed to bolster his squad, but has admitted shopping in the January transfer window comes with its limitations.
Speaking after the draw at Stamford Bridge, Rodgers said: “This was our sixth draw of the season, and we need one or two more players in the January transfer window to turn those draws into victories," ESPN report.
"But those players don't come cheap, and there won't be too many available in January.
"The owners have given me great support since I've been here but, if you're not going to have a massive investment to make it happen quickly - we have to develop it."
The Liverpool manager has previously underlined his intention to bring in another forward during the winter window. With Andy Carroll on a season-long loan at West Ham United and Fabio Borini ruled out until the new year, Luis Suarez has been the club’s only source of firepower, and the Northern Irishman has reiterated his desire to bring in cover to ease the burden on the Uruguayan.
"Luis just needs that support of instinctive goalscorers,” Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo. “If we can hopefully get one or two in January who can help us at the top end of the field we'll turn draws into wins."
