Hursty players seem knackered to maintain the intensity which is what has been the driver of the success. Plus without a crowd to get them going or leaders like VVD and Henderson they are just in second gear, and that isn’t the style for us to win.
if there is one criticism of klopp is that he hasn’t built a squad for his style of football and relied on his first 11, which clearly worked wonders for a few seasons. Players needed more resting to maintain the style of football and the squad needed more game time to be able to play the style at the level required.
