Following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Tuesday, former striker Michael Owen criticised four Reds players for their performances.
Owen expressed concern about Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo’s form, claiming it has declined this season.
The former England international also criticised fullbacks Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, claiming they do not live up to their predecessors’ standards.
“I’m just not convinced about one or two players at Liverpool,” Owen told Premier League Productions.
“In four areas, Liverpool are significantly weaker than previous season.
“Is that a transition, or are [Mohamed and Salah] getting older, and is [Cody] Gakpo not quite the same this season?” The full-backs [Kerkez and Frimpong] are not as good as Liverpool’s former full-backs, therefore they will undoubtedly harm the team.”
