Stu Forster/Getty Images Shay Given feels Liverpool lack real urgency in their play and has admitted he does not know what the answer is to fix it. The Merseyside club occupy fifth position in the Premier League table with 49 points after suffering a string of disappointing results that have seen the Reds fall 21 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

Liverpool have managed to secure only two victories in their last five league matches, a run that includes recent 2-1 defeats at the hands of Wolves and Brighton. Arne Slot’s men are facing intense scrutiny following their heavy spending in the summer and there is a real chance Liverpool could miss out on the Champions League.

The former goalkeeper thinks in general Liverpool look lacklustre in their play, but admits he does not know how they go about fixing it. “There does not seem any urgency at all and I do not know what the answer is.” Liverpool must now find a way to rediscover their competitive edge as the gap to fourth-placed Aston Villa stands at five points with only seven Premier League games left.
