The draw against Wolves did little to ease Liverpool’s concerns about a poor showing against Brentford and there have been plenty of critics of our recent performances, including former Red Steve McManaman.

Since returning to World Cup action, Jurgen Klopp’s side have stuttered in a way many feared we might after what was a poor start to the campaign.
