It’s been hard work watching Liverpool since Christmas but we shouldn’t lose sight of the bigger picture. Over the past 3 seasons this Liverpool team have been phenomenal and last season were probably the best Liverpool side that I have seen in over 40 years supporting the team. They were, and still are, a fantastic team made up of very special players working under a very special manager. Injuries this season have been unprecedented, 3 first choice centre half’s out for the season and the 2 recent backups, Fabinho and Henderson, now out also. That leaves inexperienced/new players trying their best in very difficult circumstances. They have had 14 different centre back partnerships since the start of the premiership campaign (18 in all competitions) with the longest lasting 2.5 games and that’s just the centre half’s. There have also been lenghty absences for Becker, Milner, Kieta, Thiago, Shaq and Jota. You couldn’t make that up. That coupled with a thin squad and the impact of having to play other players out of position, it’s not difficult to see where the problems lie.
