Each excelled at pressing and when Liverpool’s pressing game breaks down, as it did completely against Napoli, the space behind their high defensive line is easily exploited. In a post-Wijnaldum midfield, it can feel harsh to blame the injured Naby Keita when, unlike many another, he was not hideously culpable in Italy but he was supposed to be part of the succession planning; he is nine years younger than James Milner, eight older than Harvey Elliott, a supposed bridge between generations. Liverpool have been improved by Klopp’s substitutions several times this season; under other circumstances, that is evidence of alchemy but now it prompts questions if his initial choices were right.
