2017 has been a disaster so far for Liverpool. Nobody can really argue otherwise.

Jason McAteer joined Philip Egan on Premier League Live yesterday to talk about their freefall since the turn of the year, saying their once lethal attack has been found out by the opposition, and that the club are badly in need of a leader to galvanise the squad.
However, the former Liverpool man was adamant that Jurgen Klopp is the man to lead the Reds to a first title in more than 25 years.
