Summer 2014:
Rickie Lambert – Signed on the cheap from Southampton, the England veteran looks below-par even as a backup player so far. MISS.
Adam Lallana – Given the price paid for him, the former Saints winger does not look like significantly improving this Liverpool side. MISS.
Emre Can – Too early to tell perhaps, but so far the German youngster has been injury-prone and ineffective since joining the club. MISS.
Lazar Markovic – An exciting youngster, but not one who looks like making an impact for the Reds anytime soon. MISS.
Dejan Lovren – Solid for Southampton last season, but dreadful for Liverpool so far since a staggering £20m move. MISS.
Alberto Moreno – Being generous, the Spanish left-back looks like having the ingredients to become a top player, despite a shaky start. HIT.
Mario Balotelli – No surprises here, but the sulky Italian has had a nightmare start to his career at Anfield, and could already be on his way out. MISS.
Javi Manquillo – Signed on loan, the young and versatile full-back looks a decent signing with some potential. HIT.
