Ian Wright has been speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show and has now made a very worrying claim about Liverpool. 

Jurgen Klopp’s men have fallen to successive defeats in the Premier League over the past week, after they had seemingly turned a corner.

Liverpool had beaten Manchester City and West Ham United in back to back games but then lost to bottom of the table Nottingham Forest.

And after the 2-1 defeat to Leeds on the weekend, Wright feels Klopp’s men are just a yard off the pace at the moment.

Wright make worrying Liverpool claim

Speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show, the Arsenal legend feels Liverpool look fatigued at the moment.

“When you look at them now they look a yard short of everybody. In all departments they look like they are tired,” he said.

“They can’t get around people, or close enough to people. At the same time they are still creating chances but they are there to be got at.

“It’s got to be a collective thing – you can’t legislate for mistakes like Joe Gomez made. He didn’t even look. That doesn’t help.

“But when you have a collective that everything is bad then it’s systemic. Something is wrong throughout. They look tired.”

Liverpool were completely outworked by Jesse Marsch’s side on Saturday and despite creating chances to win the game, they went on to concede a late goal.

Klopp’s men are no longer pressing with the same intensity they are renowned for and they have been outworked by opponents this season.

The Champions League has offered some respite for the Reds in recent weeks and they have already qualified for the last-16.

Liverpool face Napoli tonight at Anfield tonight and will then travel to London for a huge clash against Tottenham on Sunday. 

Klopp will be hoping his side can pick up some positive results before the World Cup gets underway this month.
