Liverpool usually prolific attack faltered at a crucial time, with missed opportunities costing them dearly in recent matches against Manchester United and Atalanta. Despite creating numerous chances against Crystal Palace, they were unable to find the back of the net, highlighting a worrying trend of wastefulness. Manager Jurgen Klopp may need to shake up the forward line, considering the fatigue and lack of cutting edge shown by some players.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Alisson Becker absence due to injury has been keenly felt, despite Caoimhin Kelleher commendable performances. Liverpool defensive frailties have also been exposed with a lack of clean sheets at Anfield becoming a concern. The return of players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones from injury has provided some relief but Klopp faces the challenge of integrating them back into the team effectively.

As they enter the final stretch of the season, Liverpool will need to address these issues to maintain their pursuit of silverware.
