Crouch: The balance of Liverpool has completely gone
Former Liverpool forward believes that too many injuries have put Liverpool in an unexpected situation where they might be unable to qualify for the Champions League.
The reigning champions have been struggling for form in recent weeks. Their underwhelming performances have led to a gap of 19 points between them and the league leaders
Manchester City. The Reds lost their Premier League match against
Evertonon Saturday and
Peter Crouch
believes their performances display a lack of balance in their squad.
Crouch told the
Daily Mail:
"They have been well off the pace recently but, to be honest, I’ve thought back to the start of the season and there were warning signs then.
"I just feel there has been a big drop and the balance of the team has completely gone. No Virgil van Dijk has led to no Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in midfield; those two players provide so much and without them orchestrating things, Liverpool have lost their way.
"This is not something I ever expected to write up but they really do have it all to do if they want to finish in the top four. I don’t want to look at the derby, though, without giving Everton due credit because they played really well."
