Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness has labelled Jurgen Klopp's seventh-year struggle at clubs as a "complete coincidence" - insisting the Reds' problems stem from their ageing midfield.
Liverpool were edged out of a five-goal thriller by Arsenal on Sunday afternoon at the Emirates stadium as Gabriel Martinelli's strike after 57 seconds, followed by a brace from Bukayo Saka, condemned the Reds to a second defeat of the Premier League season, leaving Klopp's men sitting in 10th place, with just ten points from a possible 24.
Hoping to build on Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Rangers, the Reds boss persisted with a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 formation for the clash in north London as Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara lined up alongside one another in a double-pivot.
