da leao: After sealing a Champions League spot last season, many Liverpool fans hoped that the club would push on, but the same problems continue to hamper the team’s progress.
da jogodeouro: Manager Jurgen Klopp failed to address the defensive issues in the summer transfer window.
The frailties have been clear to see, with the team conceding 16 Premier League goals in nine matches so far.
Last season, the Reds had an unbeaten record over the top six clubs, but already Klopp’s men have been beaten 5-0 by Manchester City and 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur.
The club have also been unlucky with injuries to key players, including Adam Lallana and Sadio Mane.
It appears that another name can be added to that list following news that Philippe Coutinho is a doubt for Saturday’s match against Huddersfield Town, who defeated Manchester United last weekend.
Klopp confirmed to reporters in his media conference on Friday that the Brazilian is struggling with an adductor problem that he suffered in training.
As expected, the fans were left disgruntled by the news.
