VVD missing hurt them without doubt, but their biggest problem is teams attacking the wings more. We did it, gave the ball to Rashford every time possible, its how villa put 7 past them.
Because as much praise robertson and trent get, they ain't very good at actually defending, and they are being horribly exposed for it.
Thats also forcing their midfield to sit deeper too, which means the precise through balls they scored so many from are not quite as precise any more either.
The systems being countered by everyone now. Question is, can klopp do something else with the team he has?
