Liverpool transfer news: Klopp told to make second January signing before Jude Bellingham | Football | Sport
Thompson says the injuries in the first part of the season played a major role in a disappointing start to the campaign. He added: “Thiago and Fabinho and Hendo, having the injuries means we have no fluency in there.
“And all of a sudden then you’ve got the attack where Luiz Diaz, who was probably one of the star players, he gets injured. Diogo Jota comes back from his injury and gets injured again, you haven’t got many options then up front.
“Bobby Firmino’s done ever so well scoring the goals, sort of doing alright in that department. But the injuries have told, everyone has them and you have to find a way back.
“It seems like the midfield has taken on the mantle of the defenders when we had multiple injuries with them. But you find a way and I’m quite sure from this World Cup break that we will be better after it.”
