Liverpool Are A Shadow Of Their Former Selves - Souness

Graeme Souness could not believe Liverpool’s performance against Fulham.

A lacklustre Reds team fell to their sixth league defeat at Anfield against the relegation-threatened Cottagers.

“It’s been disappointing,” said Souness. “You’ve got a group of players who will be looking to tell the manager by their performances ‘we should really be in the starting 11.’ That has not happened today from any of them.

“They have been a shadow [of their former selves]. There is one word I associate with Liverpool the last three years:, intensity. They were a team you didn’t want to play against. Now it is a team that are an easy touch, and that is unacceptable.

“It is unfathomable. I struggle to say it. It beggars belief how a team can go from so good to so average. It’s about players. Jurgen Klopp has found out exactly what he has got in this dressing room.

“Some of them have not stood up to the challenge. When you win a trophy, that’s parked. Look ahead to next season. Some of those players have not done that. It’s not Liverpool, it’s about winning again and again and again.”

This has to be one of the worst title-defence in Premier League history with Liverpool falling further away from the European spots.
