'They’re not closing down as a unit – you can go on about how talented that front three was, but they closed down from the front. It only took one more pass, and they’d score.'
Merson baffled at decision to sell Liverpool star for a ‘cup of tea’ as he highlights ‘problems’Date published: Friday 7th October 2022 10:22 -Paul Merson thinks the “problems” at Liverpool “start from the front” this season with Jurgen Klopp’s side missing Sadio Mane.
Former Arsenal midfielder Merson reckons most of the problems at Liverpool are being caused by their forward players’ failure to close down as “a unit”.: “I’ve said it from day one, in my opinion, selling Sadio Mane was the worst business ever. The bloke scores big, big goals. Go through them, first goals, equalisers, winning goals in last minutes, big goals.
“Their problems at the back start from the front. They’re not closing down as a unit – you can go on about how talented that front three was, but they closed down from the front. It only took one more pass, and they’d score. “I’m not a stats person, so I’m just going off the top of my head – but for me, Mane was a big, big player for Liverpool. To sell him for £30m-odd, which in the world of the Premier League is a cup of tea, wouldn’t they have been better off to keep him and let him go for free?
