'It is an issue': Jan Molby highlights Liverpool 'problem' which Arne Slot is seemingly doing nothing to fix

Liverpool legend Jan Molby has sounded the alarm on a persistent issue plaguing the Reds under manager Arne Slot, warning that it risks undermining the team's title aspirations.[1][3]

In a candid assessment on his Molby on the Spot podcast, the former Denmark international pinpointed Liverpool's waning intensity and pressing game as the core problem. "The intensity that made Liverpool great has vanished," Molby declared, referencing the high-energy style that defined the club's success under Jürgen Klopp.[3] He argued that while the team has strung together an unbeaten run, it masks deeper vulnerabilities exposed against pragmatic opponents.[2]

Molby highlighted how rivals are adapting to Liverpool's perceived weaknesses, parking the bus and frustrating Slot's side. "Teams are playing the way that has made us look vulnerable," he noted, citing upcoming tests like the home clash with Nottingham Forest post-international break.[2] Despite recent improvements in effort, Molby questioned if it's enough against sides like Manchester City, who could revert to practical play and unsettle Liverpool.[2]

Adding to the concern, Molby revealed tensions in the dressing room, describing it as "not a happy camp." Frustration among players is mounting, with disgruntled squad members feeling let down by internal dynamics and transfer inactivity.[4] He urged Slot to address these issues head-on, warning of a "major" risk ahead of key fixtures like Brighton.[5]

Molby's praise for past midfield heroes like Jordan Henderson underscores his belief in Liverpool's potential, but he insists the current squad must rediscover its fire.[6] With Champions League hopes in focus and pre-Burnley analysis ongoing, the Dane called for urgent action on transfers and mentality.[1] Slot's inaction, Molby fears, could prove costly in a tight title race.
