Gary Neville has revealed concerns that Liverpool have lost the physical edge which kept them punching above their weight for so long.
The Reds have endured their worst start to a league campaign in a decade, with just two wins from eight games leaving them 14 points off Arsenal at the top after Sunday's 3-2 defeat at the Emirates. Despite twice clawing back a one-goal deficit, many of the same problems surfaced in North London - none of which look like a quick fix.
A marked drop in the pressing from the front-three and midfield - the very thing that made Liverpool so exciting over the last six seasons under Jurgen Klopp - has seen opposition teams able to exploit a high-line. And Neville has expressed concerns that the Reds look wiped out.
