Maybe we are lacking a poacher, but I think we are still underestimating the likes of Borini and Suarez, both are better finishers than what we are making out. Scoring goals is a lot to do with confidence consistency, if the entire team starts to gain more confidence, the chances will come.
Let's not forget Suarez's goal scoring record for Ajax (81 in 110) to say that he can't finish is short sighted in my opinion.
Suarez has had to deal with scraps in several games last season, many of his goals were individual efforts, wonderful goals that he basically had to craft for himself.
We have yet to see what Borini can offer, personally I think he's a very good acquisition who will start to score when the team begins to create more chances, it will also take time for him to form a partnership with the likes of Suarez/Sterling etc.
For me goals are a team issue, having an established number 9 would help, as would having a plan B, for now we have to deal with what we have, hopefully bringing the likes of Sahin and Allen, as well as Gerrard establishing some kind of form, will create goal scoring opportunities.
