Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka believes Liverpool are missing Luis Suarez's goals.
The Uruguayan was sold to Barcelona after the World Cup.
Karanka, who's Boro face Liverpool in the Capital One Cup tonight, said: "Football is all about goals. Last season we were working very well and were consistent but we went seven games without scoring one goal. Now, touch wood, we have recovered our consistency and have many options to score goals.
"For Liverpool, losing a player like Suarez will always be a very important miss, because he is one player who scored an unbelievable amount of goals both for Liverpool and his national team. He is a big miss."
