Pundit singles out five Liverpool stars as the reds ‘biggest problem’ identified

famous football Pundit Paul Robinson has claimed Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are underperforming.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Spurs and England number one said “the biggest problem” for Jurgen Klopp is that his best players are struggling.

“It’s a really tough cookie to take”

Jurgen Klopp acknowledged he does not understand why his team is having trouble, but he promised to figure it out.

Robinson responded “Yes, and that’s one of the reasons they are failing” when questioned by Football Insider if Salah, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Alexander-Arnold, and Robertson’s decline in performance was to blame.

“It is so easy to jump on the bad and jump on the good though. Look at Man United, when they lost to Brentford it was the world’s end but now people are saying it is the best United team they have seen in a long time.

“There is too many players underperforming at Liverpool. We are used to seeing them play at a certain level.

“[Sadio] Mane is a huge miss for them. [Darwin] Nunez needs time to adapt. They are playing a different way.

“The biggest problem is that their big players are not performing.”
