To be fair, a lot of people are pinning the fall-off in form from the likes of Henderson, Fabinho and Robertson to Klopp. I’ve also criticised (and still am) Slot for not rotating Gravenberch and Salah more, they sometimes look dead on their feet.
That said, while our team have had a decent share of injuries this season, Arsenal have had it worse but they should do well to remember the injury crises that Liverpool suffered during the previous four or five seasons.
I know he is only young… but he was playing well enough to be part of the squad… but Bajcetic is out on loan, simply because of injury he sustained last season… could even be categorised, as an extended injury, that has also ruled him out, through non-availability, this season
When you start with a good team who are already a CL outfit.
When you spend hundreds of millions on improving them - 700M?
When you win one FA Cup in 5 years.
When you expect to be crowned champions the second Man City show any kind of blip.
When you watch the Liverpool manager win it in his first season, after spending 10M.
Yep.
Complaining about injuries is a coping strategy, because if this underwhelming cheque-book manager didn’t go there, serious questions would have to be asked him.

With each game, Arsetita is becoming increasingly seer-like except that it applies more to him than the runaway leader.
Yeah, his team is not going to win every match but he can dream till it becomes a nightmare.
I am maybe being a salty bitch about this, but I find it interesting that their teenage breakout star at LB continues to play so petulantly. Is that something a manager can educate out of him? Maybe not. Has Arteta showed anything that would you think he was capable of that even if he wanted to, or has he showed his own petulance that a kid might take the wrong lessons from?
