After Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup at Chelsea on Tuesday night, questions have been asked in regards to the quality of some of the team’s so-called fringe players.
Both Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah were left out of the starting line-up and replaced by Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino. However, the pair performed poorly and as a result, Jurgen Klopp was forced to turn to his more senior stars in a desperate attempt to keep his side in the competition.
Would you go ahead and activate Timo Werner's release clause?
Yes
No
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a summer move for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and following The Athletic’s James Pearce recently suggesting that Werner was high on the Reds’ wish list, these fans were discussing whether or not the recent performances highlight the need to add further quality to their attacking ranks after his comments were relayed on Twitter.
We definitely need Timo!

Some of us were saying this for so long and yet we were told that the front 3 needed no competition

What do we think?
According to The Athletic, Liverpool have until April to agree a £51m deal with RB Leipzig and Werner that would see the German move to Merseyside in the summer. The 23-year-old has scored 21 goals and provided seven assists in 24 Bundesliga appearances this season (via Transfermarkt.co.uk), and therefore, we believe he’d be an upgrade on those who currently provide cover to Firmino, Salah and Sadio Mane.
