Following the events on Merseyside, former Liverpool striker and BT Sport pundit Michael Owen has slammed Liverpool’s midfield, claiming that the midfield trio of Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Thiago Alcantara are too alike and lack creativity.
Speaking to Premier League Productions, Michael Owen believes the reigning champions lack the cutting edge and often run out of ideas against weaker sides in the league.
The former Liverpool striker said:
Liverpool’s struggles in the Premier League continue
Liverpool took on the Seagulls looking to build on their impressive outing against West Ham United at the weekend.
However, in a dire performance, they suffered their second-straight defeat at Anfield and their first against Brighton in Premier League history.
Head coach Jurgen Klopp revealed that his side were physically and mentally drained after the game, as the injury crisis prevents adequate rest and squad rotation needed.
The Reds have now dropped 26 points this season, almost double their total points dropped last season, where they suffered just three defeats and three draws.
Liverpool have now slipped to fourth place in the league table, seven points adrift of leaders Manchester City, who they square off against at Anfield on Sunday.
