- Liverpool's loss to Brentford during the week combined with Virgil Van Dijk's latest injury setback has left Liverpool's race for the top four on the verge of crisis. Rory Jennings and Ade Oladipo sat down to discuss where it's gone wrong for Jurgen Klopp's side and Darwin Nunez so far this season.

Totally disagree about Thiago here. He has been the best midfielder in our team this season - both offensively and defensively. His defensive work is highly underrated, just rewatch the match against Leicester! Granted he doesn't have recovery pace but he is our best tackler and presser in that midfield this season. It's the other two in midfield who are underperforming.
Personally I agree with Ade. Thiago and Keita were brought in to help us break down teams when the parked the bus. Thiago to provide the perfect pass and Keita to run at defences. Thiago was not brought in to play every game at high intensity or chase back. With two/three quality additions it would bring out the best of Thiago, Hendo and Fabinho and prolong their careers. Saying Thiago is our best midfielder is saying much
He’s so wrong about Thiago it’s insane. Talking about “they must not watch the games” with an opinion like that.
Thank you. At least someone is recognising Thiagos defensive work. Very underated defensively.
Such a poor take on Thiago, this man is watching different games. Thiago easily been our best midfielder
He's spot on about Thiago, what are you on about. And saying he's been our best midfielder isn't really saying much because literally all our midfielders have been dreadful
Keita is a huge disappointment, he has never fitted in with his injuries, Curtis Jones is not good enough, L'pool needs atleast 3 midfielders
Keita was someone I always had high hopes for I'm an arsenal fan but it always makes me sad when someone doesn't live up to their potential
@@sammurray3184 me to I am liverpool fan but I gave him 2 seasons hasn't shown me anything
I was watching Bayern v RB a few years ago, and I didn’t know Naby. He was absolutely incredible and I thought he would turn into a world class player for us. A huge disappointment.
@@andrewwright4195 I think every club has players like that who you're excited for and it just never really works out

What do you expect when Liverpool bought only 1 midfielder in 4 seasons? This problem was self-inflicted and totally avoidable. And the worst part is that the solution is quite obvious but they are not doing anything about it.
It's fucking weird bro. Like what the fuck are they thinking? I understand we didn't think Fabinho would be this shit, but Ox, Keita, Henderson, Milner, Jones.. we really fucking thought these guys are good enough? The problem with FSG is that as long as theres a name there filling a role, then they aren't looking to improve that position in the market. The relying on extremely injury prone players and players WAY passed it like Ox, Henderson and Milner, is fucking gross negligence. And we'll never truly know if this was a Klopp decision or an FSG decision.
The irony that Klopp said we don't need midfielders, I don't even know Jurgen anymore.
Too much belief in curtis jones and harvey elliott ffs, Phil Foden is still averaging 23 games worth of minutes per league season, Elliott is on course for 25 games worth 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Klopp has too much faith
@@JohnnyNagaSins he knows we won't get any new players so he doesn't want to lose the current players because they are all what we have now
Spot on from Ade. I personally would like Liverpool to shift to a technically stronger midfield, than replace with another energetic trio alone. But the midfield is the biggest and main issue. They need 3 top midfielders. I'm worried about top 4 as well. Unless we start putting great form together, which seems unlikely, there are too many teams up there this year. It's crazy how we've had 2 massive breaks (WC and Queen) and Klopp hasn't sorted out anything.
Finally someone puts some respect on Wijnaldums name, if Liverpool hadn't sold him they'd be alot better off, never given the credit he deserved, absolutely pivotal in Liverpool's success.
He was kinda mid, especially in his final season. On top of that he wasn't fully happy excluding the contract situation
Gini was a crucial cog in the machine and not replacing him and relying on 3 injury prone midfielders was a school boy error.
Didn't sold him.. He left after his contract is over... He wanted to Moved to Barca but U turn when PSG gave him more money
Apparently thanks to FSGs policy back then of not prioritising players above 30. Now almost half the core squad is 30+
I think Salah gets away with so much, he’s been worked out by most defenders. Your point about Thiago is spot on!
I wish ade actually did football content on his channel, i love it when he’s on your channel every time.
Rory not knowing Man utd are on a winning streak was hilarious
His take about us "not having the goals" is also hilarious. Considering we barely concede any goals we dont need to score as many... as well as the fact liverpool aren't exactly threatening the goal scorers charts with nunez in his current form either lmao
United haven’t faced a semi decent side since October. We all know what’s going to happen when they face City next week. Another demolition.
@@TP-pq9xx United are factually the only team to play all of the big 6+ newcastle and only lost 1 game 💀
@@TP-pq9xx Which teams have United struggled against over the last number of years? The teams that you'd expect them to beat. They're now beating those teams with relative ease. You might scoff at it, but they're stringing together some consistency which is something they've lacked.
@@AlexKnappa90 United hasn’t been relevant for a decade, I don’t closely follow the trends of who they beat or don’t beat just like I couldn’t tell you what Southamptons record vs the top 6 is.
Ade is spot on here. He's saying what I've been saying for the past few months No issues with the attack , losing Mane or the arrival of Nunez, that's not the issue. The trouble is the lack of energy in midfield. The midfield are either is too old, too young or not good enough.
Mane. He was like 2 players. Man was a machine that never stopped. Fabinho & Van Dijk running out of gas. Was always going to happen. It’s like buying a new Tesla. it’s amazing at the time and it’s the best but in 6 months something better, newer and younger comes along. If you stick with your old Tesla it will undoubtedly let you down.
Something else that wasn’t really mentioned is how poor our defence has been this season. Van Dijk has been a shadow of himself so far. Trent has been in and out as mentioned and yet we have no backup RB, playing Milner there instead. Only consistent player has been Alisson who has had to make some good saved this season due to how poor we’ve been defensively. Shambles this season. Bring back the World Cup asap.
The defence has been poor because of the lack of protection from midfield
@@mikesgamingchannel17Oh absolutely. A lot (if not all) our problems stem from the lack of the investment into the midfield
The fact that since 2019 Liverpool have signed 2 midfielders is a shambles
1 midfield signing in 5 years.
Signing smaller, technical players rather than the work horses in midfield.
Both massive reasons why we are struggling!
So funny how arrogant these two were about their respective clubs at the beginning of the season. Football's a humbler...
Everyone is like that at the start of the season

Rory trying to write a storyline with gakpo stealing the top 4 place from utd for Liverpool when there isn't a hope that's happening when everyone on the league will win the midfield battle against Liverpool and thus control the game
And Klopp is his pre match interview against Wolves is saying midfield is not the problem
Ade is absolutely spot on with everything he said we are in trouble WE HAVE NO MIDFIELD
the season’s over for liverpool. we needed a new midfield in the summer-not midfielder, a whole new midfield-we didn’t get it. talk is we’re not getting a single new midfielder in this month-and once again, we’ve been promised a war chest for next summer, which has been promised us for year after year. we’re not getting top 4. i want us to finish outside of europe entirely.
God I’d love for my team to win the prem and champions league then have a drop off when half the squad is injured
Great discussion...Ade says it like it is. We've gone downhill since Gini left our midfield....our engineroom needs an overhaul !! YNWA
Glad to see you guys making more videos together.
I agree with Ade on everything except I don't think we are out of the top 4 race yet. In 2021 we were in 8th with 10 games left and got 3rd. We know Diaz, Jota, and Virg will be back and rested. Could see a major run happening. If united don't get a forward, they could be on fumes at the end of the season.
Klopp knows to protect the owners, he did try for tchoumeni. 3 midfielders are a minimum. Buy when you are on top. Best recruitment with the worst owners.
This liverpool guy was busy mocking man utd ata the start of the season 😂he even predicted united to finish seventh behind westham. 🤣🤣🤣he also said Liverpool would win the league and he was very boastful .huh I took that personal and as a united fan am laughing at this guy🤣🤣🤣every united fan should join me in celebration of Liverpool downfall .a also happy that this guy is now a very humble person 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s wrong about thiago. He’s been our best midfielder this year especially off the ball. His tackling has been outstanding.
He has been a flop. Can’t keep himself fit and didn’t play at the world cup. A reminder KDB is the same age and also played in world cup. Thiago has never started or played over 20 league games that’s embarassing
The "engine room" midfield of 2018-2020 may not have been dazzling to watch but they were fit and did their job. Liverpool's incredible scouting network can surely set their sights on pressures applied and availability and come up with some names that fit our system and, at that point, I trust Klopp to do the rest.
The best comment here.
That engine was not pretty, but it worked. Winjaldum was an absolute workhorse. Really good in tight spaces, never lost the ball and occasionally scored an important goal.
Henderson was also brilliant and Fabhino was a monster.
We didn't replace Gini, now Hendo and Fabinhos legs are both gone.
Seen a player called ugarte at sporting play vs spurs in ucl he’s having a great season aswell in Portugal only 21 too plenty of legs there for the future. There was a rumour only 13mill lfc were linked with would love to bring him in if klopp was looking at him to do that working role
@@jasonhughes6896 i do trust klopp I just don’t really trust in the owners if they’re backing him with the money. The longer we wait for players like nunes at wolves the more expensive they’ll get as we become more desperate
Our biggest problem is that we have loads of runners but not enough technical players. Which means when they’re jaded we don’t have another way of playing. Thiago is the only technically world class player in our team
We're behind in distance covered lmao we don't even have runners or intensity to our game anymore.
Allison and salah are world class imo man udt fan btw
@@lemontea000 I run more than our midfield these days 😂
@@tummas3395 Salahs world class at his best but even he has huge holes in his game technically. When he’s not 100% sharp it can be painful to watch
@@lemontea000 Exactly my point. Now that their legs have gone we’ve been exposed because our team isn’t that skillful
I think in midfield, Fabinho has gone off the boil because he doesn't have hard pressing engines like Gini or a younger Henderson with him anymore, as a result his limitations are being exposed.
Klopp also needs to be ruthless and trim the fat, sell Ox and Keita, hasn't really worked for either of them, injuries have played a big part, but Keita has never really shown anything in a Liverpool shirt. Ox has had his moments but has also been below par and is finished at the top level, as an Arsenal fan I was upset when we sold him to Liverpool but looking back I think we actually got his best years.
these debates b/w the 2 of you are the best
Good analysis and in agreement with Danny Murphy. The EPL is about fine margins and if there are little drops it exacerbates little problems. Klopp definitely was wrong about moving on Ox and Naby in summer. But what is huge is Mo only has 7 goals and obviously Darwin isn’t scoring yet which are two huge problems. We have to score 20-30% more than we have, and if we did we wouldn’t be talking about this. Throw in Harvey and we lose a little pace for defensive duties. And then just overall we have been getting older and it is very evident by the metric of being out run each match usually. This was totally avoidable if we just brought in a couple of midfielders the past couple of years to refresh the squad. Not much just 2 for say a total of 70-80 mil max. Now we are caught in a horrible position again. Klopp gets too attached to players that have brought him success and is unable to move them on for the good of the team financially and otherwise.
I dont think midfield issues are a Klopp issue. In press conferences he's just protecting the players he knows FSG are gonna stick him with
“What they playing at?” 🤣
Rory your videos with Ade are fantastic. Enjoy the two of you, good insightful discussions. More of these please
The problem with Liverpool is that they have built their team around Nunez. The past few years their success has been with a team built without the focus on a real number 9 player.

I'm a Man utd fan and things can change quick but actually not too worried about liverpool. Maybe I'll regret saying this! I actually saw their net spend over the last few years is shockingly low. I don't think it's sustainable they keep competing at the very highest without spending more.
absolutely spot on. Our Yanks, just like yours, are simply cowboys waiting to yell Yippeekayay mudderfookers, and ride off into the sunset with bags of OUR loot, waving their hats in the air as they go!😡
It's been shockingly low the entire time under Klopp which is why it was so impressive what he did, however your exactly right it is unsustainable and eventually we were bound to fall off it looks like it came sooner then I thought. I'm not sure if it's FSG being frugal or Klopp being stubborn or trying to prove a point but we have won trophies and remained a top 4 club we should be able to compete financially with City, Chelsea, United etc.
I'm a Liverpool fan and not too worried about Man Utd even tho we're shit
@@TheSm1thers u should be. They're improving and if they get new owners they could be a force again.
The team is exhausted and needs a rebuild. 3,4 maybe even 5 players are needed.
The algorithm of Mane's play-style is the missing link at most, here at Liverpool this season; his skills, assist- & scoring ability, spacewinning, speed, sometimes chaotic but functional and always imminent threat to the opponent's defence.
BTW, we already knew that Liverpool's defence has been vulnerable in the past 4/5 years. Yet, what made the difference was their capability of producing much more goals than conceded, I guess. And that is why they won a number of trophies in the recent past years; CL, PL, WC-clubs, super - and FA-cup, EFL and CoSh.
If we're in this same situation this time next season serious questions have to be asked of Klopp
I completely agree with the Declan Rice situation… I can’t believe there isn’t more talk about him & Liverpool
My only hope is that Liverpool will move quietly & possibly go in for a player like Rice but honestly I can’t see us signing a midfielder until the end of the season at the earliest
its sad as a liverpool fan that im not annoyed with what addy is saying or even heavily opposed and instead sympathise and agree
Since coutinho left we did not replace, then gini.. we dont have the spark in midfield
It's not hard of a solution really. Liverpool just need 3 top class midfielders to replace Keita, Ox and Milner who are leaving in the summer.
Every single word Ade spoke here is correct. Finally someone who can see it clearly and isn't blinded by this false toxic positivity and reluctancy to criticise anything about klopps attitude on or tactics. And this delusion that thiago is world class.
I just have to say that I can watch you and Ade talk about football for as long as possible, it’s beautiful 🔥
I worried pre-world cup that players were starting to push back against management due to being knackered. 'Boss, stop running us into the ground, we're knackered'.
The Thiago slander is so forced, it’s unbelievable. Naby Keita was actually one of Liverpool’s best performing players last season 😂 Tackles, interceptions, ball carries, goals from midfield… His ONLY issue is fitness
Ade is wrong about Ox. He worked great until the injury unfortunately for him liverpool went from a counter press side to a possession side and his role didn't exist so he's had to adapt. He didn't have any fitness issues until he got mowed down at Roma.
Wasn't Trent meant the next midfield prodigy yet he's entering his prime years and still playing right back.
Love to know why Liverpool wasted their time signing Arthur
i agree with everything Ade said except for the Thiago shout because hes absolutely world class and Klopp should build a midfield to suit him
Keita's time is up at Liverpool
The fact we bought 1 midfield in 4 years is shocking . Elliot and carvallho not ready , Jones ain’t good enough , to many injuries in the midfield
Aboslutly spot on, season is over.....and if we don't get the summer perfect we are in big trouble. The boys have been out of gas since last season.......and we do not replace. Players cannot keep up the pace in the Klopp system year after year. We don't sell players at the right time.....when we know they are close to being done but value is still high.
Klopp is an unbelievable manager and loves a challenge to develop but has also had his hands tied financially. But to have midfield with Elliott, Jones, Keita, chamberlain, Carvallo is a bad place to be in. Hendo has been great but should be in the Milner position. Milner is 38 and still playing because the standard of the younger lads have been poor. Fabinho looks like he’s 45 and can’t move and Thiago is unbelievable but he’s not a runner in a 3 man midfield. The lack of quality in midfield is scary. I hope it’s more down to the lack of money than Klopp wanting to develop.
Great watch guys 👊
Ronaldo was scoring goals but united weren't wining games. Now we dropped Ronaldo and we are winning games but scoring less goals
Tactics, lack of energy, lack of belief, stuff going on behind the scenes?, Klopp stubbornness, inefficient recruitment. The midfield is clearly the most glaring issue and the negligence of repeatedly not strengthening there is infuriating, but I think there are several things going on. That alone doesn't explain the complete drop in form of most players.
I don’t totally agree with Ade about Thiago, but he’s definitely right that his injection takes away defensive stability. Along with lack legs and pace running around the pitch, he also feels much less defensively intelligent than Wijnaldum was. Thiago gets credit because his defensive numbers look good, but his compared to Wijnaldum feels like Van Dijk in past seasons vs this. The defensive involvement and activity go up, but not because the player is defending better, but because his positioning hasn’t been as good so he has to do more to make up for that fact.
Recruitment is both our biggest strength and our biggest weakness. A few years ago Liverpool fans were crying for a new cb after Lovern left, we didn't sign one and then VVD got injured and we had a terrible season. We've needed a box to box for a few years now with Hendo getting old and Wijnaldum leaving and we still havent signed one. But then we sign players like diaz, Jota, Salah and Gakpo who are amazing.
Saying Thiago can't runs back is ridiculous. Saying that makes me think you don't watch the Liverpool games, even at our worst he plays like the only midfielder to give a shit and will drop back
The problem with Liverpool is bigger than the midfield. They play nothing like a Klopp team and have been slowly edging away from the way Klopp traditionally plays since Pep took over as coach. Same pattern of play for 3 years since Buvac left
Midfield budget went to signing Gakpo. Liverpool sign one great value player in January going on the past few seasons. Thought it would have been on a Midfielder.
Now he's saying Declan Rice is the man to replace Henderson? Never heard such an awful take on our midfield problem 😅😅
Massively because of negligence in the Midfield. Ox, Keïta, Milner, Jones are straight up not good enough anymore. Elliott, Carvalho and Bajcetic need time to develop. Henderson and Fabinho are well into their declines. Thiago is a great attacking midfielder with no defensive prowess. And then they never replaced Wijnaldum. This is all fucked because they will not buy a midfielder. I think Klopp needs to find a new tactic ontop of that because we are so predictable.
What happened was all 3 of our best midfield from last season all lost their legs at the same time so going big on a new midfield in the summer is the only way this team will get back to challenging.
100% agree, if 1/2 quality midfielders come in then I'll change my tune but right now we are in big trouble. Can't have these many terrible performances and still be positive. FSG need to go first because they don't buy a lot of players and we definitely need a few.
Rice and Bellingham are the two midfielders we need
In 2017 Ox was one of the best midfielders in the world but ever since his massive injury he hasn't recovered. What a shame
Bollocks
@@peterlpool1387 I mean he was at the time in 2017. I don't mean all time I mean compared to others at the time. If you watched him back then you'd see. He was banging goals, Assists and was defending very well. He had that amazing goal against city In the 4-3 win
@@Corey414 he was never mentioned as being one of the best midfielders in the world full stop. He’s been too injury prone to be that. He had a good spell in 2017 before he got injured against Roma. He’s another Lallana now. Can’t hack playing in a Klopp team.
@@peterlpool1387 this was before his injury!
You could see the legs were coming off the team towards the end of last season. The intensity was already starting to drop off.
It's important to look at Liverpool not having a starting midfielder in their prime, the players are either over 30 or are too young.
Nunez just seems to be a scapegoat for overall poor squad management over the last few seasons
The intensity only lasts as long as it takes to write a book about intensity.
Man Utd is like what Leicester was in 2016. They were 3 and 4th but within touching distance of the top two. And nobody was talking about them UNTIL it was in April and only a few games left and they pushed on and surprised everyone. Trust me, this Utd team is dangerous people keep thinking they won’t do it but won’t they?
No, they won’t. United are flattering to deceive as they have done for a decade. A good run is nothing new, I’m happy to sit back and watch the inevitable crash.
@S. I think it’s Arsenal this season will be the lucky injury free team this year
Tonally agree with Thiago! Not only doesn't he run back, he loses the ball so much!
Great chat... I think we are missing that clinical finish though... Liverpool has been creating chances but the finishing has been horrible. I am sure Gakpo signing will help with that bit. As for the midfield noise, we do need a midfielder but most of our targets are too overpriced. I understand Klopp's "right player" approach. We have to get it right this time. We cant make the same Keita mistake.
This man thinks Jordan Henderson ‘can still do it’ but Naby Keita needs to ‘get out now’ despite being 10x the player as seen vs Wolves 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some of the takes in this are ridiculous man. Saying we were awful against villa to start is stupid. We could have scored 8 , defence was shoddy but to say we were awful makes no sense. The most boring take from anyone is the "we never replaced wijnaldum" shout. The season before he left h was run into the ground. Awful in huge spells but people are hung up on "not replacing" him. This same midfield last season was 2 games away from the impossible. nobody spoke about wijnaldum then. Now we're in a tough spell you get these horrendous shouts of "the seasons over" its honestly everything thats wrong with football at the minute. To make them calls about Thiago is an absolute joke. One of our best players and hugely missed when injured and arguably the best player defensively on the pitch against Leicester in mid week.
he was called ghost for a reason lol. Stood around like a lemon most games. All revisionism bs.
9:00 I don't think RIce will go there. He wants UCL football, and I'd bet he prefers to stay in London.
Kick off is trash without Rory and Mckola.
Adi is absolutely right
The premier league is a tough energetic league. The only way to stay top of the pack is spending huge amounts of money to refresh the squad.
Without an industrious midfield, teams will always cut right through Liverpool.
Keita is one of the worst signings in the last 10 years by any club
Thiago is exactly like pogba, they are luxary players who are insanely talented but they cannot be the spine of a team, theyll never turn a bad team good, theyll add a lot to a good team with a strong spine
The complete lack of understanding around Keita is mental. He only hasn't worked because he's always injured. When he's fit with a run of games (which I understand is akin to a charizard shiny) he's class. We haven't used him correctly either. We use him too deep, when he played against Citteh last season in the semi, and against Brentford this season he was higher and breaking lines. The only one being progressive. He's class and gets so misunderstood. The injuries, like with the Ox, have ruined him.
when you don't freshen up a key part of the team in about 4 years don't be surprised when it starts to look a bit jaded. Players aren't robots and this group has played an insane number of games over the past 4 years at a high intensity at some point that catches up to you as players age. It's negligence on Klopp and his team not to identify this issue sooner and act to make it better before it became a major issue.
The midfield is the problem Keita,Ox,Thiago all injury prone, Henderson doesn't seem to be able to play 2 games a week now, Fabinho has had an awful season i think he's still able to play to his high level, Carvalho and Elliott are too young to control the midfield, Ox could be the player we need in midfield if he could stay fit and get back to his best but he can't stay fit at all, Jones is living off that Everton goal he scored and has done nothing since, Milner is great but he's 37 he can't play every week but he's a great person to have around the team, we need 3/4 midfielders and if we get jude then thats over half the budget gone on just 1. We never replaced Gini and yet we are expecting Ox/Keita/Milner all to go in the summer so we will need a few signing for sure and i dont think the owners will give us that
The way I look at this situation from 50 feet above the ground, there are a couple of reasons for where we stand today in all reality.
1. Liverpool never replaced Gini in all honesty.
2. Keeping Salah over Mane, even though I was convinced to keep Salah was a better option until this season when we understand what we missing not having Mane.
3. Klopp being Klopp, is the greatest teacher but doesn't know when to move on.
4. Fabinho is the biggest disappointment of this season so far, never saw this coming.
5. LFC medical staff, the amount of injuries this season is directly related to our backroom staff.
6. FSG + Klopp - if the budget was limited, spend accordingly. If our funds were so limited, why buy Nunez & Gapko for £130M price. We could have built half our midfield at this point for the future, plus a great signing in this summer.
let me know if you agree or disagree with these points.
I cannot believe that Klopp hasn't called out the shocking financial backing he gets from the owners. No way any other top manager would stand for not being supported.
Have waited for this vid for ages😁😁
Bang on about our midfield
virgil has been shite all season so a few weeks out is a breath of fresh air
Problem with Liverpool is they're too front loaded. Spending that much on Nunez and bringing in Gakpo is nice and all but doesn't fix the issue at hand. They haven't invested in their defense either. With Van Dijk out, they aren't going to be as imperious as they were last season. You invest in quality defenders and they might have a chance but they really haven't.
I don't know how many times that the right back for Liverpool has to keep a player onside, not track a runner, or stop and stare as an opposing player heads the ball in the goal at the back post before he even gets mentioned. But if you even say his name, people (even Klopp) get the knives out.
I agree..our season is done..what's the point when your forwards get you goals or nick goals and the midfield/defence is so weak that lets in casual,easy goals
Pointless.
We haven't been doing anything clever in the market for midfielders for ages. We should've chased down the same targets that United and arsenal in those areas, they've bought well recently
Agree with him apart from his point on thiago. He’s a gracious footballer but he’s shown this season that he’s got that graft about him aswell, only midfielder this season that looks like he cares on and off the ball.
Disagree with your version on tiago. Problem is he is the one going into challenges and he's becoming exhausted during the game due to the fact that the other two midfielders aint up to standards. More pressure on tiago.
the problem with liverpool is Nunez . How many chances does he need to miss for Klopp to bench him? klopp is doing this to himself
Rory ,imagine being in another club and winning nothing at any level ?
How wrong would that be , no club can win everything season after season ,but some can lose season after Season !!
Is it wrong to be so right ?
I am following Liverpool since 1970. I agree with every single opinion that Ade's has about Liverpool this season. His opinion of the midfield and each player is 100% right. I am very optimistic with Diaz, Nunez and Gakpo for the future. Jota I have a serious concern over his injury record. I am also concerned about our medical department both Jota and Diaz miss thtree months then when they came back both immediately picked up same injury. Why wasnt Diaz not operated on???. Lets be honest about our midfield, Keita, Ox, Milner (who has been a legend) need to go, Jones should be sent on loan to prove his fitness and if he can compete at this level, Thiago is a luxury player he was brought in for his creativity when we found it hard to break a team down he was not bought to play every game or chase back, Hendo, Fabinho will improve when they have rest
The problem with Liverpool is they think the net spend trophy is an actual trophy
how much blame does Klopp have for this though, do you reckon? I personally say most of the blame lies at his feet
It's CM's anyone with eyes can see that its not hard to see .Spending £90m on a striker shouldn't have been the priority🤷♂️
