Garth Crooks has claimed on BBC Sport that Liverpool duo Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane looked shocked at the end of the match against Fulham at the weekend.
Liverpool suffered a 1-0 defeat to Fulham at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
It was the defending English champions’ sixth successive home loss in the league.
It was a very poor performance from Liverpool, who are now in real danger of missing out on the top four.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion forward Crooks has noted that at the end of the game, left-back Robertson and forward Mane looked in shock.
Crooks wrote on BBC Sport: “Champions Liverpool are looking anything but at the moment. Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane looked in shock as they walked off the pitch and Fulham celebrated victory at Anfield.
“I said in the Crooks of the Matter some weeks ago that there was cause for concern at Liverpool. It now looks like a crisis.”
Stepping up
Robertson is one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, and although the Scotland international has done well this season, he could do better.
There have been occasions when Robertson has looked tired, but in the business end of the season, he needs to step up his game.
Mane is not having a great season and is struggling in front of goal, and it is clear that the Senegal international needs to do better.
According to WhoScored, Mane has scored seven goals and provided three assists in the Premier League and has scored two goals and provided one assist in the Champions League for Liverpool so far this season.
