BRENDAN RODGERS wants Michael Owen and Didier Drogba in a desperate bid to solve his striker crisis. Liverpool were short of firepower in yesterday�s defeat by Arsenal.
Boss Rodgers admitted: �I�ve a very small group here, there were 19 players training yesterday with some young players among them.
�Any player I believe can improve the squad, I will look at � there�s absolutely no question about that.
�I cannot say no to anything. I have to look a ways to change the group. We need reinforcements.�
Drogba was released by Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua yesterday.
Former Liverpool striker Owen is a free agent after being let go by Manchester United.
Liverpool allowed �35million striker Andy Carroll to join West Ham on a season�s loan before the transfer window closed on Friday.
Chelsea legend Drogba and Owen can join clubs after the deadline as they are unattached.
Rodgers was asked whether the club�s American owners would meet Drogba�s big wage demands.
He admitted: �I will have to ask the question, won�t I?
�The reality is we need reinforcements. But we have to concentrate on the players who are here.�
