Prioritizing quality instead of quantity is essential for Rodgers

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is ensuring that the right type of player is being signed for the club, but he is also careful not to overspend for the sake of spending. This strategic approach is evident in the signings of Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic, and Christian Benteke since the team's second-place finish last season.

Rodgers highlighted the team's strength as a key factor in their goal-scoring ability. Last season, Liverpool managed to score 101 goals, with Luis Suarez contributing 31 and Daniel Sturridge scoring 24. However, Rodgers emphasized that goals are distributed across the team, and he downplayed the idea that Daniel Sturridge would be the sole source of Liverpool's goal threat.

The departure of Suarez to Barcelona has left a significant gap, but Rodgers recognizes that replacing him will require a strategic approach in the transfer market. Initially, Memphis Depay was considered, but he was transferred to Manchester United instead. Rodgers expressed confidence in their ability to bring in players who can assist in scoring goals.

Rodgers believes that the whole squad should share the attacking responsibilities. He stated that the squad needs to be as strong as possible due to Liverpool's participation in the Champions League this year. The new signings have indeed increased the strength in depth of Liverpool's squad, providing a solid foundation for the upcoming season.

In the last two years, Liverpool has proven that they can score goals with the number of chances they create. Rodgers emphasized the need for a player who can improve Liverpool's squad, and with the additions made so far, it seems that he is well on his way to achieving this goal. The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Liverpool fans, as they watch their team strive for success both domestically and in Europe.
