Liverpool may have reached the Champions League final last week but their recent form has been anything but convincing.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are now without a win in three matches following their 1-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Four days earlier they were beaten 4-2 by AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico - but still progressed to the Champions League final thanks to their 5-2 victory in the first leg - and prior to that they could only draw 0-0 against lowly Stoke City.

Liverpool now have just one match left - against Brighton on Sunday - before they take on the mighty Real Madrid in Kiev on May 26.

Klopp will be acutely aware of the need to win that match, not only to secure a top-four finish but also to boost morale and confidence ahead of the club’s most important match since 2007.

Former Newcastle United and Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas was on Match of the Day 2 on Sunday night to run the rule over Liverpool following their latest defeat.

And he made a very interesting point about Liverpool’s front three after watching both the Roma and Chelsea matches carefully.

What Jenas spotted about Liverpool's front three v Roma

Jenas noticed that Liverpool’s revered front three - Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane - were all uncharacteristically selfish against Roma.

“Mohamed Salah did not look that interested against Chelsea, which was odd, but I was more concerned with the way Liverpool's entire front three played at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday,” Jenas said on MOTD 2, per BBC Sport.

“I saw something in the second leg of their semi-final against Roma which I have not seen all season, which was Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane being selfish for the first time.

“Usually, when they counter-attack, all three of them are trying to find each other and the best route to goal. Yes Salah has scored the majority, but they have been sharing the goals out, which is one of the reasons things have worked so well."

'I want to be the man who scores the most'

“This time, it seemed like it was suddenly every man for himself at the top end of the pitch - it was like they did not want to pass to each other anymore," he continued.

“It was almost as if they had looked at the records books about who had scored what in the Champions League and were thinking 'I want to be the man who scores the most’.”

Damning words there from Jenas, who clearly feels this has suddenly become a problem for Klopp.

Liverpool have been so successful this season largely thanks to their front three, who have scored 89 goals between them since August.

“People have been talking about this Liverpool attack as being among the best front threes we have seen in European competition, but that is on the basis of them playing together as a unit,” Jenas added.

“Yes, it is just one game where that did not happen but it has happened this week, and it was followed by another game against Chelsea where they did not link up as well as usual.

“Liverpool were laboured. They were trying to get on the ball and make things happen but from one-twos around the box to their movement, it was not quite there.

“When they did get into good positions around the box, Salah had one of the worst games I think he has had in a Liverpool shirt.

“He is entitled to have a bad game given the season he has had, but Liverpool need to fix this quickly because they have got two of the most important games of their whole season coming up.”
