Liverpool problem is critical, before it was all about the exit of Sadio Mané that have been a big pressure on the team to carry and have left Mohammed Salah stranded and struggling in the team. Let's take for instance, when Liverpool thrashed Bournemouth 9 nil, Salah was present in the game and he failed to either score or give assist in the game. Then if it was when Mané was still in Liverpool, that kind of frustration for the Egyptian wouldn't have happened, we would have seen Salah on the scoresheet and probably score either a brave or an hattrick. The reds are not in form and that's the major reason behind their losing and sharing draw points.
I feel like it’s not Salah's problem alone, I feel like it's the whole team playing with absolutely no passion at all. It is understandable because they were at UCL finals last year and lost, all due to Real's Goalkeeper (Courtois) playing one of the all time greatest games ever. This caused them to lose passion, and they feel like even though they play their best, they could still end up losing.
There is a toll on someone’s soul to lose UCL finals and they did it twice against Real now, and they keep losing to City on premier league as well. That "we were just there and still lost" keeps on putting more baggage to them and they finally cracked this year I believe.
