Liverpool are enduring a miserable season and are stuck in a rut of their own making – but the cause of their struggles is the matter of debate within the club.
The Reds have won just one of their seven games across all competitions in 2023 and are winless in their past four Premier League matches. Jurgen Klopp’s side sit 10th in the league table – a whopping 11 points adrift of the top four, albeit with a game in hand.
They were thrashed 3-0 by Wolves on the weekend, with the match summing up the extent of their problems. Calamitous defending from Joel Matip and Joe Gomez undermined their cause, while the blunt attack of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo made it three league games without a goal; their top scorer since the World Cup is Leicester City defender Wout Faes.
