Liverpool dressing room at a loss over “very sad” problem that has plagued Reds

Liverpool have endured a hugely frustrating start to the campaign and one distinct problem has been troubling Jurgen Klopp’s side practically since the opening day and it is yet to be solved

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have endured a thoroughly miserable start to the new Premier League season.

Ahead of Sunday’s clash with Tottenham, the Reds sit ninth in the table having won just four out of their opening 12 matches. Whilst many have been attempting to find a reason behind Liverpool’s current slump, one major problem behind their poor start has been a common theme of falling behind. In eight of their 12 matches so far this season, the Merseysiders have conceded the first goal. Only Southampton have fallen behind on more occasions this term.

Whilst Liverpool have been praised for their frequent ability to bounce back, that appears to have abandoned them this term having only won one of the games in which they have conceded first.

French defender Ibrahima Konate admitted last month that he was at a loss over the reason behind his side’s consistently slow starts.
