It's frightening, the drop off we are going through at the moment. I cannot believe what i am watching. I echo the thoughts of many others on here, this Season can't end soon enough.
As damaging as the loss of van Dijk and Gomez has been, for me it is the loss of Hendo and Fab in midfield that has hit us hardest. I said when Dalglish signed Hendo that he would become a major player for Liverpool, i didn't expect him to be this important. His energy is infectious, it drives those around him to push harder and when he is not in that midfield it shows. It is glaringly obvious that he is the lifeblood of this team. Without Fab sat in front of the defence we are vulnerable, when he plays that extra ten yards advanced he protects everyone. He allows the full backs to charge and even the centre backs.
The midfielders haven't been good enough this Season. The chance has been there for Ox, Wijnaldum and Thiago to impress and lay down a marker and they have failed. The only midfielder to impress me has been Curtis Jones, he is something else.
When this Season is over we'll have time to dissect what has been an atrocious Season for all concerned. We can roll out all the excuses we like about out injuries, but as valid as they are there is no excuse for a lack of fight. We have lacked the fight. I can forgive a defeat or a mistake as long as i see the fight, the desire or the longing to win.
I'm afraid i haven't seen it. We are Champions for F**k's sake! Let's start acting like it!
After all Jürgen has done for these players they should be willing to die for him. There is no excuse for a lack of fight, not a single F***ing one!
