Eight Liverpool Players Who Just Aren’t Good Enough, With Mario Balotelli & Two More Summer Signings

Eight players not fit to wear the red shirt.

Liverpool look in dire need of a squad overhaul after a poor start to the season, with at least eight of their current first-team simply not fit to be playing for a side with top four ambitions.

Damningly for manager Brendan Rodgers, three of these players have only been brought in this summer, and already look plainly out of their depth in the famous red shirt…

8) Dejan Lovren

A £20m summer signing from Southampton, Croatian defender Dejan Lovren has been simply woeful for Liverpool so far and may already be one to consider selling.

7) Glen Johnson

A player past his best for some time now, Glen Johnson may be decent going forward but simply doesn’t offer enough defensively to be a regular in this team.

6) Jose Enrique

A backup player more focused on social media than on his performances, Spanish left-back Jose Enrique offers little to the Reds team and needs to go.

5) Kolo Toure

A player well past his peak, Kolo Toure was a gamble signing last summer and one that clearly hasn’t paid off for Brendan Rodgers.

4) Simon Mignolet

Another misjudged addition last season, Simon Mignolet has not managed to replicate his best form from his days at Sunderland since joining Liverpool.

3) Rickie Lambert

A few good seasons at Southampton persuaded Liverpool to sign Rickie Lambert on the cheap, but he offers little even as a backup player at Anfield.

2) Fabio Borini

Loaned out to Sunderland last season, Fabio Borini just isn’t quite cut out for this level and is one they will surely try to sell again in January.

1) Mario Balotelli

A highly disappointing signing this summer, £16m man Mario Balotelli is yet to score in the Premier League for Liverpool and is a long way off replacing Luis Suarez on current form.
