GAME PREVIEW
Liverpool have now taken 63 shots over their past three games and scored one goal.
There is no doubt that the Reds' defensive deficiencies are a major issue, and one that should have been addressed more aggressively in the summer transfer market. Too many of their defenders have been guilty of simple errors on a regular basis.
But those defenders would certainly have it a lot easier if Liverpool were scoring the first goal in games rather than chasing them and inevitably leaving themselves even more open at the other end.
It's a chicken and egg situation but regardless of which issue is more pertinent, the fact is that Jurgen Klopp's team too often needs to be at its very best to win matches.
When Liverpool are good, they are very good, but to win a Premier League title you must be able to win on mediocre and even bad days.
As Klopp approaches the two-year anniversary of his appointment at Anfield, that is something his side is still trying to prove it is capable of.
