5 problems Liverpool needs to address to end their Premier League drought

#1 They need a new club captain

Injuries leading Jordan Henderson down.

There is no doubt that Henderson is a talented footballer but the current Liverpool skipper is very prone to injuries and is inconsistent in leading a team.

He took over the armband from Steven Gerrard in 2015 but has failed to live up to the expectations.

He has failed to play 25 league games in a single season since his appointment as the captain due to a series of bad injuries.

As a result, Klopp has had to change captains regularly and this disturbs the balance of the team as every captain has his own style of leading the team.

Also, with Naby Keita arriving from RB Leipzig this summer, he may find it difficult to break into the team with such a big competition for the places in the team.

The main job of the captain is to organize and motivate the team on and off the pitch, and keeping an irregular starter as the club captain is not a wise idea.

Therefore, Klopp needs to appoint a new leader who is a regular in the team and will be available to lead regularly.

Roberto Firmino, James Milner, and van Dijk could be the front-runners for the captain's armband.
