Why has Liverpool's big investment in recent years not paid off?

First of all, there have been no good players in some positions. For example, before Lucas, Alonso and Mascherano, Liverpool didn't have a good midfielder, and the famous parallel Poulsen is a good example. For example, after the left-back, left winger and Riise left, there were no good candidates on the left (except jose enrique now).

Then the team always relies too much on Steven Gerrard. Whether it was Torres before, when Torres was in good shape, he still relied on Gerrard's pass to some extent. Look at Suarez now, who was all-powerful in Holland, but so far this season, he has only scored five goals (I'm not saying that he is not good, but the number of goals is less than we expected). I think one reason is that there is no Steven Gerrard.

Moreover, the top management of the team is in turmoil, the former American boss does not act, and the players bought are not super big names. I did sell Riise, Alonso and Mascherano. Waiting for the core player.

Dalglish's team failed to meet expectations this season. I think it's mainly the striker. Carol still lacks exercise. He owes a lot. We can't count on it. It took him several weeks to find his former state. Although Downing hasn't scored yet, I think it is still worth looking forward to. As for Henderson, I think there must be a chance. It is obvious that Henderson performed much better when he partnered with Gerrard. He should be a young man who can make a difference. Adam and Kim's left feet have performed so well this season. Moreover, his age tells us that there is not much room for improvement. We can only expect him to get back to last season's state as soon as possible.
