Whats happened then, scousers?
In simple terms, the defence isn’t playing well, the keeper is an occasional liability, add to that Henderson not playing as well as last yeah, Sturridge being replaced by Ballo and Suarez being sold… The new players like MArkovic have not played great, although Lallana is getting his act together now and improving.
TBH, to lose 3-0 like that against Real wasn’t a great shock in all honesty, they’re on fire at the moment and their strengths completely fit in with Liverpools weaknesses. The one disappointment last night was the fact that Real were first to the ball far too often. Liverpool are not pressing and hassling quite as much as I’d like to see them doing.
That said… Reals passing last night was a true lesson in 1 touch passing, it was superb. Really really superb.
I think they’ll improve when Sturridge returns, but it’s clear they won’t be hitting the heights of last season.
