Brendan Rodgers will need these players to perform well to make up for a poor start to the season…
Liverpool have made a poor start to this year’s Premier League. After finishing second last season, they have faltered early on and look unlikely to create another title challenge.

Many of their new signings have been under-performing, with big money arrivals such as Mario Balotelli and Dejan Lovren looking particularly poor.
Here are six players that could turn the campaign around for the Reds…
Kolo Toure
The Ivorian played well when brought in to the side against Real Madrid, but then was dropped for the Chelsea game.
If he is given a run in the side he could be the defensive rock that the Merseyside club have been looking for.
Steven Gerrard
The skipper may be seen by some as over the hill, but even so he will need to play well if the Reds are to have any success this season.
If he could bring back some of the old moments of magic it would make a huge difference to the team.
Philippe Coutinho
The Brazilian is integral to the Reds’ ability to get past tough defences.
He looks like the club’s most dangerous player at the moment, but even he will need to improve if Brendan Rodgers’ side are going to recover from their start.
Daniel Sturridge
Since the England international has been injured the Merseysiders have looked toothless up top.
With his return imminent after the international break, Sturridge could add the goals that the team have been sorely needing in recent weeks.
Raheem Sterling
The 19-year-old has already become incredibly important for Liverpool, and will be vital in any resurgence that the side manage.
Emre Can
The midfielder has put in two solid performances in the club’s last two games against Madrid and the Blues.
If the 20-year-old can keep this up and maybe even improve, Can could be the first of the summer signings to convince on the pitch.
