Jurgen Klopp’s biggest concern at present is likely to be the burgeoning injury crisis which is threatening to engulf his team and derail their 2022/23 campaign before it even gets going. The disciplinary madness of his big money summer signing is also unlikely to have improved the Liverpool manager’s mood.
Klopp won't enjoy being asked about the Reds’ transfer plans in his next few press conferences either, though that at least won’t be an immediate issue beyond September 1. There is another burning problem which will need addressing: why do Liverpool keep going behind in matches.
If we disregard the Community Shield as a 'friendly' to emphasize the point, then the Reds have conceded the opening goal in eight of their last nine matches. Only in the FA Cup final did they keep a clean sheet in this run, and across their finals last season they were criticised for failing to score. When a team’s standards are sky high, it can be hard to please everybody.
