Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler is of the opinion that Jurgen Klopp’s side will struggle after their break.
Following their 3-0 win over Bournemouth, Liverpool are having a long break since they didn’t have to play any FA Cup matches.
However, Robbie Fowler thinks that the long gap will affect the team’s momentum. Following Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Crystal Palace, they had an 11-day gap and two draws against Leicester City and West Ham followed that gap.
Fowler thinks that this gap might also be harmful for the Reds. Fowler told the Mirror, “Another break for Liverpool – another chance for them to lose their rhythm in my eyes. Look, I must admit with all the injuries they had, they’ll have been able to use the time off to get some players back fit and get their training organised, and work on things.
Yet you know my feelings on momentum and playing. I hated not being involved in games when I was a player, I hated being rested. I’d much rather win and take the energy and rhythm from that, … just as Manchester City have done in recent weeks. So I’m a bit apprehensive about which Liverpool we will see next week against Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
There was absolutely no doubt they lost a bit of rhythm after the last break, which cost them points against Leicester and West Ham. They looked a little rusty. I hope the same thing doesn’t happen this time.”
Liverpool face Bayern Munich at Anfield on Tuesday before playing Manchester United at Old Trafford next Sunday.
