Jamie Carragher has questioned whether or not Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders has had more of an influence on the team this season - and insisted that the Reds 'no longer look like a Jurgen Klopp side'.
Liverpool have endured a difficult campaign and succumbed to another disappointing defeat against Brentford, who cantered to a 3-1 win against the Reds on Monday night. An own goal from Ibrahima Konate nudged Brentford into the lead before Yoane Wissa doubled their advantage before the break. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain halved the deficit after the interval but Bryan Mbeumo killed the game off in the 84th minute.
After running Manchester City close in the title race last term, Liverpool have struggled to replicate their form from years gone by and are lagging behind Arsenal, who are 15 points clear of Klopp's side at the summit of the league with a game in hand.
