Sin triangle of the triangle of atoms
When Liverpool won the Champions League and Premier League in the previous two seasons, it is undeniable that the trio Mane - Salah - Firmino are always at the highest level in the world. When reaching the peak of their level, to break to another level is very difficult, not everyone can do and maintain like the duo Messi - Ronaldo.
When they cannot renew and improve their own skills, it is understandable that Mane, Salah and Firmino are caught out. Jurgen Klopp understood that he had added Jota. Unfortunately, while improving and renewing Liverpool's attack, the Portuguese rookie suffered a long-term injury that led to a total stalemate.
After crushing Crystal Palace 7-0 on December 19, 2020, Liverpool scored just one goal in the subsequent draw against West Brom. In the next 4 matches in the Premier League, it is unbelievable that The Kop's strikers have failed to score even 1 goal.
When they have reached the peak of their form, it is normal for the Kop's attacking factors to decline, only their declining speed is too fast.
Deposit and mortgage
Klopp and Liverpool's board both agreed on the option of not buying new players in the winter transfer window and waiting for key players to return from injury. This is true or false, it takes more time to answer, but at least within the past month, it has brought danger to the Anfield team.
The attack is stuck but there are no additions to score. The defense lacked players, so Fabinho and Henderson had to return to play as central defenders. Duong as Liverpool are forgetting where they are right now. Just if The Kop called, many stars would immediately nod their heads.
Klopp was worried that a team with too many " football savants" would be difficult to use and could easily cause underground waves in the dressing room about position disputes. This worry is reasonable, but if they don't buy more players, Liverpool can't have the strength to compete.
Between deciding to deal with personnel and having enough players to play, Klopp was forced to make a decision.
The fog at Anfield
Liverpool just beat Palace 7-0 not long ago, but with this name, their home record of unbeaten was taken down by Burnley.
Since losing to Palace in April 2017, The Kop have been struggling at Anfield. This drop of water is not yet overflowing as Liverpool have not been completely thrown out of the championship race. However, looking at the upcoming schedule with opponents like Man United, Tottenham or Everton, is Liverpool likely to be fine?
Every team has to have a time of prosperity and decline, but if it declines in this way when it has just won the Champions League and Premier League, it would be a waste for Liverpool and their fans.
