2730395, brutal injuries, bad form from star players, and bad luck, in that order. Posted by smutsboy, Thu Jan-21-21 05:12 PM
as said above, it's cyclical. They're just not playing well right now. Add brutal injuries (your best player and his partner) plus bad luck, and that's how you end up in the mix with everyone else rather than running away with the league.
The painful irony of the injuries to Jota and Thiago is that both players were brought in to address two of the biggest issues going into the season (scoring depth and midfield playmaking).
Then both got injured and missed months.
It is still completely within LFC's potential to start winning every match and never lose again this season. But I obviously wouldn't bet on it.
