Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has issued a scathing assessment on his old side's midfield options following more dropped points in the form of a 0-0 draw away at Crystal Palace.
Jurgen Klopp's men have endured a miserable season so far and currently languish as low as seventh in the table, just one point in front of Brighton having played one game more than the Seagulls. For all of the issues that currently plague the Reds, one problem stands out above the rest and that is their midfield.
Liverpool fans have long been calling for additions in that area and the club's response was to sign Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus in the final hours of the summer window. The Brazilian has been injured for the majority of the season however, featuring just once in the Champions League.
