Jurgen Klopp has been 'blinkered' this season and his refusal to change system has 'exposed' his rookie defenders, according to Paul Merson.
The Sky Sports pundit has called on the underperforming Reds to stop 'hiding behind Virgil van Dijk's injury' as they look to recover from six home defeats in a row.
Liverpool are languishing in eighth place in the Premier League and face RB Leipzig in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie tonight, and Merson says it is time for Klopp to make changes.
'This is hard to say but I think Jurgen Klopp has been a bit blinkered at Liverpool,' he wrote in his column for Sky Sports.
