Paul Merson has tipped Liverpool to rediscover their form after Thiago Alcantara’s return from injury.

The Sky Sports pundit has been paying attention to how the Reds have been playing of late, struggling to break down even the weaker Premier League sides.



Merson believes an offensive midfielder, such as Thiago or Xherdan Shaqiri, can really help Jurgen Klopp out in that regard.



As part of an opinion piece, the former Arsenal forward has heaped praise on the Liverpool midfielders who are able to get the best out of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino.



“Teams are approaching Liverpool now, not giving them any space, and saying: ‘You’ll have to break us down.’ Liverpool are struggling without that guile in midfield.
