What is going on with Liverpool? You will have to go a long way to find someone who has more respect for Jurgen Klopp than me, but I’m really puzzled by what I’m seeing from his team.
Had they maintained last season’s momentum and consistency, to be in and around the title race, we would have been talking about them as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever sides.
The levels they had shown were off the scale, which makes what is happening now so baffling. Liverpool are stuck between systems — they kept switching between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 at Manchester City — and that ferocious press of theirs is now non-existent because one man will charge on his own and there is no cohesion.
