#4 Lack of creativity needs to be addressed quickly
One of the brighter points this season has been the dovetailing of the Brazilian duo, Firminho and Coutinho alongside Sadio Mane. Mane’s absence coupled with an injury to Coutinho has been a glaring factor in the past few games.
That though still doesn’t explain Liverpool’s inability to create any clear cut chances in the past two games. While Southampton were defensively disciplined, Wolves took it upon themselves to test the Liverpool defence. The two goals were a testament to their game plan and outshone the need of an individual.
The Reds needed their players to be more authoritative on the ball, especially their forward players. Although, there hasn’t been any lack of enterprise in their game play it is their failure to penetrate in the final third that has cost them games this season. Lethal finishing and quick interplay need to be immediately summoned if they are to dig themselves out this trench they are in.
