Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has put the Reds on blast and criticised manager Brendan Rodgers for not going after striker Radamel Falcao.
“[If I was Brendan Rodgers] I would have gone for Falcao. £7million on loan? I would have taken him,” Lawrenson said to Metro on his former club.
Falcao put on a disappointing performance in his 2014-15 campaign with Manchester United, which was on a loan deal.
The 29-year-old striker only scored four goals for the Red Devils despite making 29 appearances, and Man United declined to give him a permanent deal as a result.
Falcao is expected to join Chelsea on a loan deal, and manager Jose Mourinho will be a threat to help him realize his full potential once again.
Despite not taking a chance on the underachieving Colombian star, Liverpool will look to receive production from new signings such as James Milner and Danny Ings as they hope to put a disappointing sixth-place finish behind them.
