3. Ability
Darren Bent has often been hailed as a goalscorer - a true poacher with a knack for being in the right place. However, this season, he has failed to even make the bench for Paul Lambert's side on more than one occasion, with Christian Benteke and Andreas Weimaan being prefered. He has two premier league goals to his name this year and hasn't featured for England since 2011. Unfortunately, it seems Darren Bent is only a shadow of his former self. Either that or he's simply not good enough. Whichever way you look at it, he's not the ideal man to suit Liverpool's needs.
