This season, Liverpool’s start has not gone to plan. After a bad result against Fulham on the opening day of the premier league, Liverpools results have only got worse. Salah’s struggling to score goals and summer signing Darwin Nunez has not met my expectations.
I think Liverpool lack energy, particularly in their midfield. Players like Henderson and Milner are incredible for the club but I think they are just lacking a bit of pace in that position.
Last season Liverpool used to press and win the ball back so high they had to make a pass and where in touching distance of the goal but this season that has not happened. Also Liverpool have been playing with a deeper line than last season this could by due to teams pushing them back as there is no press.
If Liverpool are going to challenge the likes of Man City they are going to have to improve.
