"There's probably so many things. Was Salah ever going to have the same season again? He was probably going to have. Konate's fell of a cliff. You know things like that make a big difference. Mac Allister has never quite been 100% fit. Sometimes he plays three games. So I think there's lots of little things. But you know what?"
"If we're being totally honest, we actually look at the games they've lost and the type of games they've lost. They can't handle the physicality of the Premier League this season. When you think of teams that lack something, they normally let you down away from home against teams who have a physical game. And they've gone missing too often in away games."
Liverpool have regressed sharply after winning the title, showing reduced squad depth despite heavy summer spending. New signings Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have struggled to settle at Anfield. Defensive organisation has deteriorated, with centre-back Ibrahima Konate experiencing a pronounced loss of form and his partnership with Virgil van Dijk looking vulnerable. The team has suffered seven defeats in their last ten Premier League matches and have repeatedly underperformed in away fixtures against more physical opponents. Mohamed Salah's influence has declined and Alexis Mac Allister has battled fitness issues, contributing to inconsistent performances.
