As Liverpool laboured towards a draw against Napoli on Wednesday, they were desperately lacking in inspiration. They had failed to muster a single shot on goal all game - the first time in a Champions League match since 2006 - and only a combination of the woodwork and Alisson had kept Napoli at bay.
While Liverpool's usually prolific front three of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane floundered, their joint-top scorer this season sat on the bench. Not until the 89th minute did Jurgen Klopp finally call for Daniel Sturridge. He had under two minutes, plus added time, to try and change the momentum of an entire match.
