Liverpool midfielder comments on “nightmare” Premier League season

Summer signing Thiago Alcantara has opened up about Liverpool’s struggle to retain the Premier League crown this season.

Liverpool strolled to the title last term, finishing 18 points clear of Manchester City in second to secure their first Premier League trophy.

The Reds’ title defence looked to be going as planned, as they sat top of the league at Christmas. However, a horror run of form has taken them all the way down to eighth, 25 points off the top.

Since defeating Crystal Palace 7-0 at Selhurst Park in December, Jurgen Klopp’s men have picked up just 12 points from their last 14 league outings, losing six home games in a row.
