Danny Murphy has picked out three Liverpool stars who are suffering with ‘an air of complacency’ amid a worrying drop in form at the club.
The Reds have endured a slow start to the new season, winning two of their opening six Premier League games and reaching a nadir in last week’s 4-1 defeat at Napoli - a performance Jurgen Klopp described as ‘the worst game since I've been here.’ Such a poor start to the new campaign has led to questions over all aspects of the team, from summer business - or lack of - to tactics and player commitment.
Murphy believes the latter to at least be a contributing factor, with the former Reds midfielder labelling some of the squad’s key players as complacent - he also name-checked three of the club’s most influential stars over the last few seasons as the main offenders.
