Davies, Dier and Sanchez have never been good enough, while Alderweireld and Lloris were on the way down in the final part of Pochettino's spell. The only one who you would try and build a defence around is Reguilon, the rest need to be punted before they'll get anywhere. He's also instrumental in starting their better attacking phases. No surprise their goals have dried up since he has been injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The drop off in results from last season for Liverpool is quite striking. Okay, they've had injuries but they fannied about getting a replacement for VVD. TAA and Robertson seem to have been affected by the midfielders playing at centre back and the new guy from Germany looks like he won't be hanging about for long. Then we get Allisson performing like some kind of circus act. Is there a fatigue after last season's title efforts where they played at a high level week in and week out? Can Klopp ever get them back to the level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Well played Martinez. The rest of you... not so much. We are starting to look tired in this half of the season. Whenever I watch Brighton I think they're a decent side. They must be really rubbish in the matches I don't watch as they always manage to be near the bottom.

I’m not sure any of the teams at the bottom ever looked really awful (apart from West Brom under Allerdyce). Even Fulham have started to play ok.

They are missing Henderson in midfield as much as they are missing the defenders who are out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a half-decent striker (similar to Ings' impact at Southampton) would have them in the top half of the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Klopp ever get them back to the level? I think fatigue or burnout must be a part of it. It’s not just the players they have lost but elsewhere their first choice players don’t look nearly as sharp or quick as they have done in previous seasons. Klopp doesn’t seem to do much in the way of rotating his team. The same first 11 (when fit) have played most of the games over the last 3 seasons now. I thought it strange in Jan that they couldn’t get anyone better than the defender from Shalke and the guy from Preston. Maybe nobody was available but you’d think Liverpool would have more pulling power. Then again, they probably know they won’t play much once Van Dijk and the others are back again. That goes back to not appearing to use his squad. Edited February 14, 2021 by Jambomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Liverpool dont have as much money as City, of that there can be no doubt. They also didnt when they absolutely bodied City last season, matched them blow for blow the season before and missed out narrowly with an unfathomable high second place points tally, and wont the Champions League. The actual relevant argument is "Do Liverpool have enough money that a complete lack of squad depth is the fault of the collective management, and not simply budget" and the answer to that is yes, of course they do.The idea that a comparative lack of funds is whats led to this calamity is ridiculous. If they are having to play Jordan Henderson at Centre Half, it's on them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
