If there is any fair criticism of Klopp's it is this, he has failed to make use of his squad. Klopp has a first choice 11 who play every league game they are fit for. The only exceptions are Mignolet and Wiji who were recalled after Klopp's original plan proved disastrous.

Sturridge and Origi have been cast aside after struggling to play roles they are not suited to. Stewart, who we are told is highly rated, hasn't been given a sniff and none of our apparently excellent crop of youth players has been given any decent pitch time to make their case for inclusion.

The first 11 feel secure and unchallenged whilst the reserves know that however well they play they'll be back on the bench for the next game. I can't help feel this has contributed to the current malaise.

Every single first 11 player is underperforming at the moment but Klopp persists in playing the same team game after game. How can such an arrangement be conducive to player motivation? When a player like Wilson is killing it in the reserves but still gets no opportunity to see if he can carry that form into the first team what motivation has he and his ilk got to keep trying?

The best managers identify problems and look for solutions, Klopp has not done that this year.

Problem today was putting Lucas in a high line against Vardy. Klopp needs much better defenders to bail out his very offensive style of football. We need two towers in there to deal with direct long balls and crosses. And Matip should bulk up a little bit.

Studge had his chances this season especially during the winter festive season and did not step up. Also, he's been ill all week so can't play. The Spurs win has not solved our issues clearly, I agree but to say Studge would have changed anything based on his form or lack thereof this season, is wrong.

He is obsessed with Can and Firmino.

He brought Klavan to help Lovren who already lacked pace with the former slower than a tortoise. Underestimating the importance of defending and splashing every penny on attackers. Can't blame the club or nature for it.
