Liverpool is just not playing well. They are facing some obvious problems. And I really don't think that these problems are going to be fixed anytime soon. Liverpool is not supposed to lose against these opponents. But somehow they are finding it really difficult to perform well and they cannot even imitate what they did in the last season.
The problem is that Liverpool's strikers are struggling to score in some match, but are sometimes surprised me by their goal festivities for some opponents. Their form has been so erratic that it is always hard to think that Liverpool can win the match easily even if they are the favorites in that match. Liverpool is very different compared to last season, I don't think it's just because Mane has left Liverpool and joined Bayern Munich.
But my question is can this change so much that they will perform so differently from the last season?
I know a lot of people are saying that Liverpool is not doing well because of the coach. But I am not sure if the coach is the one to blame. Whenever a good team does not bring really good results people automatically assume that the coach is the one making mistakes. Because he is also trying his best to bring results. And he knows that he is the one to lose his job if the team does not perform well.
Leeds United should be an easy opponent for Liverpool. But the problem is Liverpool is finding it very difficult to play consistently. Liverpool had a really good match against Manchester City. And that same Liverpool is losing against Leeds United. These things don't make sense to me for some reason.
There is prestige between Manchester City and Liverpool, while in a match on paper it is easy for Liverpool it turns out that the players are not playing optimally. I don't understand what the problem is, but the Liverpool forward doesn't seem to be consistent across match.
It is true that the attacking lineup is not working well but at the same time, it is also true that mistakes are being made in the defense. Only having Virgil van Dijk is not enough for the defensive lineup of a team like Liverpool. I know I am exaggerating a little but I think whatever I said roughly sums up the situation in Liverpool.
