They’re yet to find a balance, and what would concern me is that they’ve brought [Jeremie] Frimpong in to play right-back, they’ve got Conor Bradley also in there to play right-back. I think we have to give them a little bit of a grace period because they’ve got so many new players, and Slot actually said at the start of the season that they’ve lost a lot of players," said Richards."They’ve had to replace them.

They’re not great at the back."How do you balance [Hugo] Ekitike playing so well, but you’ve signed [Alexander] Isak for £125m. Now they’ve brought flair into it."Then you've got [Cody] Gakpo, it’s fitting everybody in.

And I thought Slot, he’s a top manager, and I thought players would fit in seamlessly, and that’s why I thought Liverpool would be the favourites, but at this moment in time, it’s not working."And it’s not just because of the last three games, this has been from the start of the season. I remember one of the first games against Bournemouth, and [Antoine] Semenyo tore them apart."It’s only moments in games from Liverpool because they've got quality players seeing them through.
