Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has pointed out a damning statistic behind Liverpool's struggles this season. Fowler believes the lack of productivity in Liverpool's midfield has been a significant factor in the club's disappointing campaign.
Despite a brief patch of improved form in February and March, Liverpool has managed only two points from their last four games. The club is currently in eighth place in the Premier League table, and Champions League qualification appears unlikely.
Fowler has expressed relief that Liverpool has avoided transfer madness by not pursuing a move for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham. Fowler believes that acquiring one player will not solve Liverpool's problems and insists that the team needs a complete rebuild.
Fowler has also been critical of Liverpool's midfield, highlighting the poor returns of the trio of Henderson-Thiago-Fabinho. Despite making a combined 99 appearances this season, the trio has failed to score a single goal. Fowler contends that Liverpool's defence has been relatively stable, with the team boasting the fifth-best defensive record in the Premier League.
With only six games remaining in the season, Liverpool's chances of qualifying for Europe remain in jeopardy.
