Liverpool
have been in poor form since the start of this New Year 2017. They have managed
to win only two of their last 12 games in all campaigns. They have been
defeated by lower positioned sides but managed to keep their fine run against
the top six.
Their
poor run in the Premier League have dropped them from second spot to fifth
spot, and even they could go down to sixth as Manchester United, the sixth placed
side have a game in hand. Their poor run have also disqualified them from the League and
FA Cup.
It
was thought that the reason for the starting games of this poor run was Sadio
Mane who was out for the Africa Cup of Nations that time. Mane has been a
superb performer for the Reds but unfortunately even after his return Liverpool
have not yet managed to bounce back.
Yesterday,
Leicester City scored three goals to win against Liverpool at home, the side
that failed to score this year scored three against the so called Mighty Reds.
The
question arises who is responsible for these performances, owners, manager or players?
This could have many answers.
Firstly, Liverpool didn’t utilize the winter transfer window because owners were in no
mood to give the funds.
Secondly, Jurgen Klopp has been playing with the same game style as he has been in
the first half of the season, and that style became so obvious for the
opponents that they have easily managed to control Liverpool during the game. He has no plan B.
Lastly, star player Philippe Coutinho has failed to
regain his top form since his return from the injury. He showed a little
glimpse yesterday but still he is yet to reach the level that he showed in the
first half of the season.
Apart
from that Liverpool players are not taking it seriously, they are lacking the
winning attitude as Klopp said they were playing the game like a friendly.
Despite of having more than two weeks of break, the players looked exhausted against the Foxes.
Liverpool
will be facing Arsenal at home this Saturday, and we all are well aware of
their performance against big sides, they are going to win but will this win be considered as a return to bright days? Definitely No, because they did
the same against Tottenham Hotspurs two weeks ago.
In
my opinion, Liverpool owners are going to sack Klopp if this poor run continues for
another month. What are your thoughts? Have your
say below.
