Liverpool has so many great players that can substitute the injured players and how can you think that was badly affecting the performance from liverpool? liverpool already prepared some new players to be bought and this to make sure the squads has some great players to be used.
Actually Livepool has a number of players who are able to bring their team to competition. But their performance was completely beyond expectations, The Red started the season very badly. The loss of Mane shouldn't have been so affected, but in fact, at the moment, almost all of Liverpool's players are not at their true level. Klopp will have to overhaul his squad if he is to remain respected, with a number of new players urgently needed to be brought in in the January window to make up for a shortfall that is starting to look worrying. The wing-back sector needs to be totally evaluated, because Alexander and Robertson are no longer able to contribute as well as they used to and Mohammed Salah is also starting to show his selfishness so that the front lines don't look so cohesive either.
I forgot to read where, but the Liverpool coach admitted that he miscalculated this season by letting Mane leave Liverpool he thought the existing players were enough to back up all without leaving a gap but apparently not especially the appearance of their defense was not very good this season, but slowly they have improved and on transfermark there will be new players they will sign to make them even better to be able to end the season by being in the champions league spot
