Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants his misfiring forwards to produce more efficiency in the final third.
The Reds have hit the back of the net just four times from five matches so far this season and following yesterday's 2-1 loss to Manchester United, in which they dominated large portions of the match, Rodgers has urged improvement in front of goal.
"I said to them at half-time we have to be effective as well," said Rodgers who is keen to bring in a new striker in January.
"We have to hit the target: there is no point us getting into good areas in the field and twisting and turning and being bright if we don't shoot.
"You have to shoot otherwise you don't score - that is something we know across the board we need to improve on.
"There's no reticence to shoot but it is in the DNA of the player, the type of player. That is what we hoped we could bring in over the summer and we weren't able to do that.
"So we've got to go with what we've got until January and you bring in the certain type of player who can help that."
