Liverpool’s current woes are the subject of growing articles around the world’s football media. There’s a growing surprise that a team which was so good last year has seen itself drop so far in such a short time, regardless of the injury issues which have faced the Reds.
L’Equipe have had several articles on the situation. At the weekend they joined the growing chorus questioning Thiago Alcantara, and now they bring Everton into the situation.
The French newspaper state the October match against Carlo Ancelotti’s side was pivotal in Liverpool’s fall from grace. They had a late Jordan Henderson goal against Everton ruled out, saw Virgil van Dijk depart with a long term injury, and ‘since then they haven’t stopped complaining’ about officiating.
L’Equipe believe there are ‘shortcomings’ at all levels of the club right now, and it’s combining to present the situation which sees Liverpool in a fight for a top four place, with Jurgen Klopp already conceding a title defence is likely beyond them now.
Should a perception of unfairness from officials really have been occupying Liverpool minds since the Everton match then they clearly need to move on quickly.
