Jeff Stelling has named two Liverpool players who he now thinks are disappointing Jurgen Klopp based on recent performances.
The Reds were held to a 0-0 draw this weekend against Manchester United as Arsenal and Aston Villa overtook Liverpool in the Premier League standings.
Despite dominating at home, Klopp’s side simply couldn’t break down United even with Erik Ten Hag’s side coming into the fixture having just crashed out of Europe.
And according to Stelling via TalkSport, two players who are letting Klopp down are summer signings Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch.
The duo started in the midfield against United, and Stelling now thinks that the pair need to improve if they’re to repay the faith Klopp has given them in starting such a huge game on Sunday.
Stelling said: “The last two or three games, they’ve not been playing brilliantly have they Szoboszlai and Gravenberch, I’m not sure they’re making the impact that he would have hoped when he brought them in?”
Jurgen Klopp will want to see more from his new Liverpool signings
Although Szoboszlai and Gravenberch started their Liverpool careers in fantastic fashion, the pair’s form in recent weeks has been underwhelming, to say the least.
The Hungarian international’s spark seems to have fizzled out having once been praised as one of the signings of the season by many pundits.
As for Gravenberch, injuries have been reoccurring for the youngster, whilst the midfielder can be given the benefit of the doubt having hardly played last season for Bayern Munich.
Indeed, the pair will both turn out good eventually for Liverpool, but there’s no denying that the midfielders need to start turning things around if they’re to make it at Anfield.
