    Liverpool’s front three have been at their normal, scintillating level of performance this season, but there’s always room for improvement.<\/p>\n

    Sadio Mane has had some injury problems and Roberto Firmino has struggled for goals – in fact, he’s managed just 11 goals in all competitions this season and only eight in the Premier League. Everyone knows Firmino offers far more than just goals, of course, but that’s a slightly worrying figure: for reference, Teemu Pukki and Chris Wood have scored more and Jordan Ayew has scored the same amount.<\/p>\n

    Talking to the Racing Post<\/a>, McAteer underlined the problems he feels Liverpool have at this moment in time and how to address them, specifically the acquisition of RB Leipzig marksman Timo Werner and Borussia Dortmund winger Jadaon Sacho, who between them have been involved in 57 league goals this season.<\/p>\n

    He said: \u201cI actually think this is burn out and Klopp needs to address it as a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n

    “This has been building and no one who watches Liverpool every week should be surprised.<\/p>\n

    “They go off at 100 miles an hour from the first whistle of the season and they\u2019ve been doing this since 2015 under Klopp.<\/p>\n

    “The rewards have been plentiful and wonderful \u2013 they were champions of Europe last season and are soon to be champions of England <\/span>as well.<\/p>\n
