Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits they need to find a new striker after drawing 0-0 at West Bromwich Albion.

Mario Balotelli made his first top flight start since November but made little impact and Rodgers insisted Liverpool will look to buy a new striker in the summer.

He said: "We will look at it in the summer and it's somewhere we will have to do some work on. I give credit to the players because they came out after a difficult result and performance last week (a 2-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Aston Villa) and showed great confidence.

"They defended well and attacked with all the invention and creativity as we possibly could.

"We just don't score as many goals, it's as simple as that. The players have given the same effort and attitude but we had two players last year (Luis Suarez and the injured Daniel Sturridge) who played in the front three who got 50 plus goals and we don't have it now."
