The Reds have struggled for goalscoring consistency throughout the current season.
Robbie Fowler has criticized Liverpool’s midfielders for their poor goalscoring output this season.
A run of four winless games has left the Reds stranded in the eighth spot on the Premier League table. But even before that, Jurgen Klopp’s men had consistent goalscoring problems.
“What is Liverpool’s first choice midfield? Even after a shocking season, it’s probably Henderson-Thiago-Fabinho. How many goals have they scored between them? The answer is a big fat zero,” Fowler told Mirror.
“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.”
An embarrassing defeat against Real Madrid ended Liverpool’s Champions League campaign last month. The Reds now face an almost impossible task of reaching the top four before the end of the season.
Continuing his criticism of Liverpool’s midfielders, Fowler added: “Keita hasn’t scored either, neither has Jones or Milner; Oxlade-Chamberlain and Bajcetic have one apiece. That’s two goals from seven midfielders. Only Harvey Elliott has a half-respectable total.
Fowler added: “It’s the same with assists, seven from 11 midfielders used this season. Compare that to Manchester City, and you see the problem. 35 goals from midfield, 40 assists.”
