Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has admitted that they're missing a key member of the squad at the moment.

While Liverpool have started the 2023/24 season strongly, with 11 wins in 14 games in all competitions, Lijnders says that the team could be performing even better. In fact, their only loss came in controversial circumstances against Tottenham in September.
