Jürgen Klopp five-point plan can fix Liverpool as Darwin Núñez and ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool are struggling and are not currently playing as Jürgen Klopp intended. Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Salah and just two of the players that need to ...

In the two matches since, they have failed to do that and build on the momentum. [Roberto Firmino](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fliverpool-roberto-firmino-jurgen-klopp-24801787&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiE4c7J-Pr5AhXH0YUKHWoEA9kQFnoECAMQAg&usg=AOvVaw3KeQSaqvcKn0mfnTP7T7lG): the Brazilian was not good against Newcastle United, but he scored, so it was all forgiven. What Núñez needs more than anything is to build on his one Premier League goal, which came against Fulham on the opening day. The assists have simply not flowed yet for Alexander-Arnold — he is, in fact, yet to set up a Premier League goal — while the triangle of the 23-year-old, Elliott and Salah has not clicked as it looked like it would at the start of last season. A crucial part of the Liverpool system at his best, Alexander-Arnold needs to improve — and quickly. Defensively, he has been exposed by the lack of a coherent midfield in front of him, but more worryingly than that, he and his teammates have not yet gotten to grips with the new system of attacking. [Sign up to the Liverpool.com newsletter here — it only takes a few seconds!](https://www.liverpool.com/newsletter-preference-centre/) Liverpool have taken their primary goal threat further away from the goal in Salah, while Díaz needs to dribble past multiple players before he can get a shot away — while the Colombian is capable of that, it has not been a recipe for sustained success. [Harvey Elliott](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fjurgen-klopp-liverpool-harvey-elliott-24905402&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjwgfDa-Pr5AhXEYPEDHeNXAFEQFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw3lUvIa5hu2dI_EQkrEjNRX) and Fábio Carvalho starting the game together and then the former playing as part of a two with Fabinho in the second half. [Liverpool.com](http://Liverpool.com) has put together a five-point checklist of changes that need to be worked on for Liverpool to return to form and start winning again. [Darwin Núñez](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fdarwin-nunez-liverpool-title-race-24807571&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjnoKPD-Pr5AhXWiFwKHWa2DOwQFnoECAIQAg&usg=AOvVaw3pPa_RJPaG7PWDTwgR0L90) has scored a hat-trick against RB Leipzig, a goal against Manchester City, been sent off for a headbutt, and been ineffective and isolated for large spells — something of a mixed bag. Liverpool have had a troubling start to the season in which they have already dropped nine points and looked a pale imitation of themselves at their peak, leaving Jürgen Klopp with a number of issues to solve.
