Lacklustre And Disorganised, What Has Happened To Liverpool?

With The Loss To Championship Side Wolverhampton Wanderers Liverpool Have Now Lost Three Consecutive Games At Anfield for the first time since 2012.

It was just in October that Liverpool looked like title favourites and treble hopefuls with their free scoring players they were scoring for fun and winning with ease but fast forward thirteen weeks the reds have become a shadow of themselves, their results are raising a lot of questions but it is their performance that will be the real worry for Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool beat Manchester City on  New Year's eve and had deserved celebrations for beating a 'title rival', since then their fortunes have gone south and reached a critical low and the reds would be seeking desperate answers, Sadio Mane and Senegal are out of the Africa Cup Of Nations and he will be headed back to Anfield soon, but will it be enough for The Reds? Since their 2-2 draw against Sunderland on 2nd January It has hardly happened for Klopp and Liverpool.

Liverpool managed to leave Old Trafford with a point earlier this month but they face champions-elect Chelsea on Tuesday in the last game of a very miserable month, their last chance to breathe in hope into their collapsing title charge.


The Mane Effect

The absence of Sadio Mane has no doubt had an effect on Liverpool for they average 2.6 goals a game with mane and 1 goal per game without the Senegalese. and without Mane they have a winning percentage of 30% and 71.4% with him.

Mane is famed for pushing defenders back and also getting the goals and he hasn't looked back since his first premier league game for Liverpool at Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp yesterday accepted '100% responsibility' for the humiliation at the hands of Wolves and at this point we could all accept this is the lowest point of his Liverpool career. Klopp who has faced criticism with some of his selections in recent weeks should be eager for Tuesday to come soon enough so the redemption might begin, poor form and injuries have played their part no doubt but in the face of poor displays like these, the fans tend to get impatient easily.
