#3 Goalkeeping problems
In keeping with modern football trends, Jurgen Klopp has opted to rely on Simon Mignolet in the Premier League, and Loris Karius in the Champions League. It is a dangerous methodology that has punished more teams that it has benefited in the past.
Added to this, neither Mignolet or Karius are actually good enough to play for a team that have any realistic ambition of succeeding in either competition.
The goalkeeper position has generally always been a controversial and debatable point at Anfield, and the club have rarely boasted the services of a genuinely world-class shot-stopper, especially in the modern era.
However, it is a vital position, and it is time that Klopp pressed pause on developing his attacking ideology and addressed the fundamental issues that are costing his side dearly at the present time.
In addition, a goalkeeper is generally considered to be only as good as his defence, and this is another significant failing that has been highlighted in both competitions this season.
It has become a well-worn football cliché that the best form of defence is attack, but it is a phrase that is tested in the modern game like never before, and Liverpool simply have to improve significantly at the back if they are to have any chance of competing against the best of the best.
