Shaky defense causing lot of headache for Klopp

Liverpool had a busy transfer window. They held on to Coutinho and added Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Dominic Solanke to their attacking arsenal. The Van Dijk pursuit ended in a defeat and they were not able to add any defenders. RP Leipzig's sensational Naby Keita, however, will join them in 2018.

Having started the campaign with a 3-3 draw at Watford, their defensive fragility was brutally exposed by Manchester City in a 5-0 thumping.

Even though their attacking depth can rival that of City’s, their defensive woes continue to haunt them. Matip and Lovren’s lack of concentration is hurting Liverpool at the back, and unless they find a solution real quick, they may end up playing in the UEFA Europa League next season.
