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.
Curtis Jones? Naby Keita? Henderson is there? I am not saying that the midfield is bad or anything like that but they are really not after something super important with the situation they are in right now, they are just not playing well for the time being and that's it, they could have done more with the same people, it was just unlucky situations.
You will see that we are going to see Liverpool earn a ton more games in the long run, they are going to start a winning streak as well. This is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked with the United game or the first 3 games, just end up betting for them eventually they will get a win one way or another.
