When I looked at the balance in midfield, they are certainly losing control in important matches. I think about the first goal the way they dissect Liverpool&#8217;s midfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I get that at times you have to go man for man, but other times you have to mark space but they are too open all the time. That isn&#8217;t what Liverpool were last season. Everyone right now is just a bit off it, confidence is low. I wouldn&#8217;t write Liverpool off just yet but this is certainly a mini crisis because of the way they are playing. They haven&#8217;t been at it all season but they will get better and they are still going to be in the equation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-ng\/lists\/liverpool-told-they-too-open-after-losing-third-gamerow-last-gasp-chelsea-winner\/blt08e186f833a64adf\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Premier League star and Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp dissected the team&#8217;s performance as a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
