Liverpool is on a normal decline, I expected it to happen this season and after Virgil Van Dyk injury it was obvious that they will have some problems,
I guess there bad sh*t isn't far from what other teams are experiencing and that is the fatigue from previously concluded season without break. Come on, you can all agree with me that Liverpool is not a one man team. Yes Virgil Van Dyk is an important piece of the team but, they can still do without him in a couple of games after all, they "We never walk alone" that's the motto. The problem isn't really about the team but the league has been very challenging this season and we can still see Liverpool rising up, they've been there twice at least.
The fatigue experienced cut across all the entire squad of Liverpool players, they looked tired in most of their recent matches, winning back to back EPL title is becoming unachievable feat likewise it won't be easy for Liverpool to win it this season, rising up again will difficult going by the recent form of other teams whom they would beaten easily last season, losing against Burnley in their last match in anfield must have also lower the players morale.
