In fact, there are many reasons for Liverpool's cliff-falling. Van Dyke's injury is one thing, but more is caused by their invalid signing. Liverpool's midfield is already short of people. After Van Dyke's injury, no one was available, even guest star Fabinho was injured, which caused the instability of Liverpool's defense.
Later, I bought two central defenders in a hurry in the winter window, which was embarrassing. Even after the arrival of these two men, Liverpool, which could have been firmly in the standings, began to decline.
Defense is Liverpool's biggest problem, but it's not the only one. After the unstable defense, the frontcourt players had to return to the defense, which made their attack gradually weaken. The game that Liverpool lost was not only a matter of defense, but also a big problem that the attack has been exerting strength.
Moreover, after winning the Champions League and the first Premier League championship in succession, the mentality of the players in the team has also changed. Some players want to leave Liverpool to pursue greater glory, such as Salah.
And coach klopp seems to have lost patience with the team. He even rotated players on a large scale in some games, which made the team's performance more unstable.
Today's Liverpool can be said to have fallen to the bottom, and now there is no sign of recovery. They are likely to miss the Champions League next season after the peak, which will make them suffer heavy losses.
If we miss the Champions League next season, Liverpool will not only face huge bonus losses, but even the team may disintegrate. Some players have the idea of leaving. If they miss the Champions League, they may leave, and head coach klopp can go to the German team to take Loew's place.
However, Liverpool's performance in the Champions League this season is quite good, and it has successfully reached the top eight, with a good draw. If they are lucky, they can even enter the finals and even win the championship again.
