Read our privacy policy Alisson has admitted that Liverpool have been below par this season but believes injuries are the biggest factor in their slow start. Jurgen Klopp’s side were runners-up last season but have only won two of their first six league games, leading their goalkeeper to accept they have problems they have to solve with their game. Liverpool have been without up to 10 players at times this season, with Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita and Joel Matip all suffering injuries and Darwin Nunez serving a three-match suspension, but Alisson sees Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Everton as a step in the right direction.
