Joe Cole admits Liverpool must become more ruthless in front of goal if they are going to climb the Premier League table.

Cole felt youngsters such as Suso, Raheem Sterling and Andre Wisdom stood up well to the physical challenge posed by Stoke. "It was important for the young boys and I thought they were really good again," he said. "I think you've got to match Stoke .They're strong lads and they like to compete. "Personally, it was brilliant to get back. You're always nervous with hamstring injuries in terms of the first time you come back in. But I felt good and I have two weeks now to work hard and get back up to a high level of fitness."
