Tiredness.
It seems that Firmino has played 10 millions games already and Salah is not too far behind this season with WC and also this bloody pointless useless internationals. It is is fine to have international breaks if you are actually *not* playing them. It is *tiredness* that is keeping the front three of the boil, particularly Firmino. Also of course, we need a midfield that can provide something to them. Last season it seems that the front three made almost all the goals which have dried up now while the midfield is not contributing anything at all.
Also, I am not surprised by the pragmatic approach by Klopp this season instead of the gungho of last year. The front three (perhaps even the midfield) would be on their knees by December if we play the gungho style.
Quite simply, we need to bring in fresh pair of legs in Shaqiri, Fabinho, Keita and keep them in the team while others recover. We need to give these guys few games to get going. Although it will *not* happen, a forward/winger in January may help Salah & co to focus & also provide some rest.
At least that is my 2p worth.
