Liverpool legend John Aldridge says it's crucial they find more goals from midfield next season.

Although he expects Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah to repeat last season's exploits next time around, Aldridge hopes to see their goal haul supplemented by the midfield and defence.

"If we need more goals it's from midfield," he told liverpoolfc.com.

"The three [forwards] can't do anymore than they did from a creative point of view, from a scoring point of view but we didn't get enough goals from midfield last year.

"I think we've got to take the weight off the front three players, we depend on them an awful lot.

"We need a few more goals from [midfield] and the centre-halves."
