- Alexander Isak remains the club's only available recognized center forward, though the £125 million striker has managed just 859 minutes and three goals this season due to recurring injury struggles.
- Former striker Alan Shearer warned that Liverpool must return to the transfer market, telling Betfair that "this season's not been good enough for their own very high standards."
