Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville highlighted Liverpool's midfield issues once again after another struggle in the 2-1 win at home to Leicester on Friday evening.
The Reds closed the gap from Tottenham Hotspur in fourth to just two points, thanks to a pair of Wout Faes own-goals. It was a far from vintage performance from Jurgen Klopp's side, and the problems in midfield - which have been present throughout the season - were highlighted inside four minutes when Kieran Dewsbury-Hall raced through a gaping whole to slot the opener past Alisson Becker.
The ease with which the Foxes man raced through midfield was symptomatic of a campaign in which Liverpool have been uncharacteristically leggy in the middle of the park. Friday evening's game was not helped by the absence of Fabinho - away for the imminent birth of his first child - but typified a position in Klopp's typically relentless energy has been missing.
