Liverpool's Champions League failure will see Raheem Sterling quit, says Phil Thompson

Former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson believes Brendan Rodgers’ side’s failure to qualify for the Champions League will see Raheem Sterling quit Anfield this summer. Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at champions Chelsea all but ended their chances of qualification for next season’s Champions League and Thompson believes failure to qualify will prompt Sterling to leave. And he insists he doesn’t see the 20-year-old’s future as a striker no matter where he ends up. "Chelsea had Cahill, Matic and Cuadrado coming on for them – three established internationals." Phil Thompson He told Sky Sports: “I think it will be very difficult for him to stay at Liverpool now. He’s shown all the signs that he’s ready and prepared to leave the club. “But if he was to stay I would like to think his role will be on the flanks – I don’t think Liverpool can even contemplate him being their main striker next season, because he’s not a natural goalscorer. “Liverpool need somebody who’s going to get you at least 15 league goals and maybe 25 overall – Raheem Sterling is not going to get you that. “He’s done well for the team – he’s helped them out up front this season, but I think everyone can see that he’s not quite strong enough for it. “So, no matter where he is next season, I think his best role is out wide rather than through the middle.” Meanwhile, Thompson believes the difference in squad depth between Liverpool and champions Chelsea was clearly evident during Sunday’s draw at Stamford Bridge. The Reds needed to win in order to cling on to their hopes of finishing in the top four in the Premier League, but they could only manage a point. Although Liverpool were competitive throughout the game, the gap between the pair remains 22 points, and Thommo highlighted Rodgers’ substitutions when trying to win the game.
