Liverpool could do with a lift.
After three consecutive home losses for the first time since the Beatles set the records, the likes of Graeme Souness and Jamie Carragher have persuaded the champions to focus on finishing in the top four. instead of anything else this season.
According to The Athletic, Jurgen Klopp could soon be needed for further help on that front.
They say both Diogo Jota and Naby Keita are closing in when they return to full training in what would be a huge boost for Klopp.
In fact, after losing to Brighton, he talked about how his side was both mentally and physically fat, so getting more options will help him round out the side.
With Liverpool also struggling for goals – not scoring at Anfield from open play from just after Christmas – welcoming Jota back to the sidelines should be a huge boost considering the brilliant form before he was injured.
Jonathan Gorrie at GIVEMESPORT says …
Just getting more organizations to choose from will always give Klopp ‘s side more relaxation and, obviously, will help when those groups are of high quality.
Jota confirmed a release earlier in the season, offering a devastating goal-scoring presence through Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, threatening nine goals in his first fifteen games. Considering their recent struggles ahead of goal, it could be a major improvement in the pursuit of the top four.
Keita’s return could also help calm Thiago. The Spaniard has recently been criticized but, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho brought to the defense, it is largely up to him and Georginio Wijnaldum to control the engine room.
The Mali international is on average getting one dribble per game (promised only by Thiago to Liverpool midfielders via WhoScored) which could help bring a new sense of energy to the tired side.
Things could be looking up after a difficult spell.
