Brendan Rodgers reveals that he is considering changing Liverpool's formation in order to score more goals.

New Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he is considering changing the team's tactics in order to score more goals.

The Reds struggled to find the net on many occasions last season, hitting the woodwork a record number of times and scoring fewer goals than relegated Blackburn Rovers.

The inability to find the net resulted in a lot of draws for Liverpool, and Rodgers is keen to turn those draws into wins.

"I want to bring more goals into the group," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo. "That can help the group. That is what this season is about. People talk about the goalscoring last year. They talk about playing two strikers or one striker, but it's about your players.

"For a lot of last season the team played 4-4-2. People cry out about playing two strikers up front, yet everyone at the end of the season said we didn't score enough. With 4-3-3 you play with three strikers, depending on the types they are - whether it's one up and two wide or one up and two more narrow.

"That means the draws can turn into wins and the losses turn into draws. If we can get goals into the team and keep our stability from behind then hopefully we can fly."

Rodgers has already taken a step to increasing Liverpool's firepower by signing striker Fabio Borini.
