3 Reasons why Liverpool have failed to score in most of their recent matches

#3 Playing too many defensive players in midfield

Liverpool have been playing too many defensive players in their midfield in their last few matches. Fabinho has been reasonably good from them this season, but he does not have any attacking instincts. Jordan Henderson and James Milner, both of whom played against Everton, are also defensive players primarily, and do not usually make any significant attacking contribution.

Klopp would have to find the perfect balance between defence and attack, and should think of playing players like Shaqiri and Adam Lallana more often. Lallana’s inclusion adds impetus and creativity to Liverpool’s attack, but he has played in only 8 matches this season. He is a very good dribbler and passer, and can prove to be decisive in crunch matches.

Liverpool should think of making a few changes in their midfield combination in the upcoming matches to take care of their goal-scoring troubles.
