Jurgen Klopp's misery since World Cup return summed up by Liverpool's top goalscorer woe

Liverpool's painful mid-season form can be summed up by the fact that their top league scorer since the World Cup is Leicester City defender Wout Faes.

Jurgen Klopp's side were dreaming of a top-four finish after their players returned from Qatar, beating Aston Villa 3-1 on Boxing Day before Faes' pair of own goals decided a meeting with the Foxes at Anfield. Since then, though, the Reds have picked up just one league point and only scored one goal.
