Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler says a lack of goals from midfield has been a problem this season.
Writing for the Mirror, Fowler explained: "I won't say 'I told you so', but Liverpool have finally caught up with my recent column suggesting it's madness to spend their entire transfer budget on one player.
"Ok, I will say thatbut I take little satisfaction in pointing it out. The fact is, they have a glaring weakness in their team, and that can't be fixed by signing Jude Bellingham on his own.
"I have a question for you. What is Liverpool's first choice midfield? Even after a shocking season, it's probably Henderson-Thiago-Fabinho. Second question: how many goals have they scored between them? The answer is a big fat zero. Yep, you read that right. No goals from a midfield trio that so very nearly wrote history. In any competition. So far, they have made a combined 99 appearances so far, and not a single goal.
"It gets worse. In all those appearances, they have three assists between them, two for Henderson and one from Thiago. And that is where the disaster of this season stems from.
"You look at the Premier League table, and for all the criticism of Liverpool's defence, they still have the fifth best record, better than Manchester United and Tottenham, and not much different to City and Arsenal."
