Liverpool has not been in good form this season. We have seen them struggle in most of their games this season including game played against average teams and some times they play very well like in the game against Brighton they kept scoring goals and coming from behind. I think the team isn't so bad and are showing glimpse of improvement from time to time so with time I believe they will get back to form.
Honestly this struggle stems from a lack of reinforcements. You can't be competing with Manchester City and not reinforce your squad with the right players. This struggle is all on the owners lack of wanting to spend money. This team looks tired, they just look flat. I’m not sure where the spark is going to come from. Besides, all these problems were existed seasons ago and without properly to deal with. FSG has made a big money after acquiring Liverpool but we can’t see the equal amount of investment into the squad.
The problem with Liverpool is not that they were unable to reinforce their squad. Assuming they kept their squad constant without selling anyone it would have been better but they were unable to get high class players and at the same time they sold one of their best players. That was the beginning of the problem of Liverpool, the team connection was lost and Nunes was unable to fit the role that made Liverpool spend huge amount of money to get him.
