Such has been the season Liverpool have endured in front of goal, it has been suggested the club name be changed by deed poll to 'Liverpool nil'.

Six times in this league campaign Liverpool have failed to score, with the latest blank coming on Saturday away at West Ham.

Their problems in front of goal have been evident, not least because of its inconsistency. This is the same team that put four past Manchester City and six beyond Southampton – yet since that St Mary's demolition, the Reds have managed just four goals in seven games.

There have been injuries, of course. Danny Ings is out for the season, Divock Origi is sidelined with a hamstring complaint and Daniel Sturridge is embarking on his own 'mini pre-season'.

But still, their issues in front of goal have been remarkable.

So remarkable, in fact, that this is their worst run of goalscoring in the club's 124-year history.

The excellent team at LFChistory.net have gone through the record books and found Liverpool's current tally of 22 league goals after 20 games is the lowest they have ever achieved.

Their previous low totals were 23 goals in the 1923-24 and 1970-71 seasons. The Reds finished 12TH and fifth in those campaigns respectively.

Despite having John Toshack and Alun Evans as strikers in 1971, the Reds would go on to register just 42 goals in 42 games – although they did reach the FA Cup final that season.

The lack of goals saw Bill Shankly sign Kevin Keegan the following summer, and he would soon help fire Liverpool to dominance.

All is not lost for Jurgen Klopp, then.

Does anybody know who plays up front for Scunthorpe?
