It’s quite amazing how things change so quick in football.
Everyone highlighting Liverpool’s problems down the right hand side,and absolutely nothing being done about it,it’s been happening for months and I highlighted it,however one of the best managers in the world can’t see it,or do anything about it.
VVD has gone from the best CB in the world to a very ordinary player making some serious mistakes.
No title this year for sure and a big fight for CL football.
Long may it continue.

Much as it's good to see are we not just having a transition season? I mean Henderson isn't the player he was and replacing him isn't easy. Mane was such a key player and caused problems up top .. which now he is gone Diaz is a class player but does he do the same work rate or lose the ball more often?

Vvd has had more defensive partners than a strickly professional

Trent is out of form but the whole defensive unit doesn't look it's normal self

I'm sure come end of season they will have clicked again.

Agree VVD partners,but his levels have dropped.
Mane massive loss
Salah has not been his great normal self for months,chucks in the odd good game here and there.
I personally don’t see them winning anything or clicking again this season.
Certainly not a bad team,just not the great team they have been.
Run into the ground playing the high press,and Shearer highlighted it last night.

You have highlighted some of the concerns and your correct.
But for me the midfield is the big problem.
Injuries aside we havnt got the midfield to control games. Thiago excepted.!
So the back four are exposed and service to strikers just not good enough.
I am sure Klopp has a plan but can’t see it this season.

I can see rice or Bellingham or even both ending up at Liverpool. That midfield needs an overhaul
 
I cannot believe United turned up for this with McTominay and Eriksen as their midfield two. How was that ever supposed to work? Did they think they were going to boss possession?? Seems absolutely mental that Casemiro is sat on the bench. They've just got no standing in the game at all, bypassed every single time.

The whole squad right now is mentally flat , last season took a lot out of the players - physically and mentally, they have played at a very high level for 4/5 seasons and it’s no surprise that at some stage they are going to drop their level for a period.

They will find their rhythm again soon enough
 
This haaland fella. Dunno if he will make it in this league .. jezzz what a player
