The topic of clinical Liverpool forwards has been a topic of discussion across recent weeks, especially with the form of Diogo Jota.
Jota has been praised by fans and pundits for his ability to convert chances as opposed to the more wasteful forwards around him. Liverpool have been in great form recently and their 4-0 goal victory without top scorer Mohamed Salah showed their clinical nature, as they netted four second half goals.
Across the past 20 years, there have been some frightening forwards at Anfield with Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and Salah but Jamie Carragher's recent claims about Jota's clinical ability being one of Liverpool's best in recent years, which seemed to stir up some debate among fans, has seen us turn to the statistics.
Opta have confirmed Liverpool's top 10 most clinical players, in terms of shot conversion and the results are certainly interesting as a shock figure takes the number one spot.
1. 10. Dirk Kuyt - 11.1%
The versatile attacker was a key figure for Rafa Benitez and he netted 51 goals across 208 games. He managed a min/goal ratio of 309 and managed 459 shots.
2. 9. Peter Crouch - 11.5%
The towering forward enjoyed a mixed time at Anfield, managing 22 goals in 85 games across three seasons in the league. Across that time he managed 192 shots and a goal/min ratio of 208.
3. 8. Luis Suarez - 12.5%
Suarez managed 69 goals in 110 games and his 139 mins per goal is one of the best on the list. He was a constant threat and managed a whopping 551 shots across that time.
4. 7. Roberto Firmino - 14.3%
Firmino's role wasn't to be as direct as someone like Suarez, it simply wasn't his game, but he still managed to have a strong goal threat. With 82 goals in 256 games, he was certainly a top-class forward.
