I think the problem of low manpower in Liverpool's midfielders is mainly because of their lack of reliable midfielders. If only Klopp, the Liverpool coach has more money to buy more midfielders in the early season. Is it just me or did Liverpool seems to be frugal on the money spent on players' acquisitions this season? Or do other clubs have more money from the sponsors that they outbuy Liverpool?
I don't see Klopp having many options in midfield this season after only Fabio Carvalho they signed from Fulham. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thiago are both injured and they have been sidelined so Fabinho and Carvalho were Klopp's options against Manchester United in the previous match.
Klopp certainly wants to get some other players especially in the midfield position. There are two names associated with Liverpool at the moment, namely Ismail Bennacer and Moises Caicedo. Curious about the continuation of this rumor, but it seems they are not star players with a high price label.
For the attack line, they are still having problems because Jota is still not able to play for the attackers and when something unwanted happens like when Nunez's red card, it is indeed difficult for Klopp to rotate and find a good composition for them.
Currently Liverpool are still struggling in this regard, not from the lack of players but when the injury storms like this, the coach can't really do much.
