"Did you see Fabinho against Red Star & Cardiff?"
I'm not sure if there is an easy fix for this. It all seems to have come up very quickly after we almost won everything last season and everything looked rosy. Here are the biggest issues as far as I can tell:
- Teams know how to play against us. We're so predictable in terms of how we're going to set up and don't have a plan B. Plan A has stopped working and so we're going behind in almost every game that we play. We're actually still hitting 60-70% possession but despite that, the opposition seems to be able to create either more or better quality chances with less of the ball.
- The squad looks knackered. We've got a fair few 30+ players in the team and this squad played every game possible last season. It's starting to show and we're now getting outrun in every game we play.
- Some players have dropped off of a cliff with their form. Van Dijk, Henderson, Salah and Alexander-Arnold have been terrible. Robertson has been mediocre as well. Salah seems to have been nullified as a goal threat and turned into a creative winger by Klopp (maybe to suit Nunez?) but it's taken away what Salah's been doing so well for years now, scoring goals.
- Nunez...I mean he can't really do much on the ball can he? Rubbish at dribbling, passing and build up play. Sometimes he gets on the end of things but even then he seems to mess everything up. He's a shadow of the player Mane was/is.
- Injuries. I mean a lot of these are muscular so maybe due to training but it's not ideal. Some of these are players with terrible fitness records so it was kind of predictable.
- The high line. It's great when we're controlling games but we're not any more and so it's being massively exposed over and over again.
- Klopp might've gotten as much out of these group as he can. It happened at Mainz and Dortmund so it's possible that it's happening again. Hard to say.
There are probably other issues as well but it's going to take a lot of work from Klopp to turn this around. Seems like some players have given up.
