John Aldridge criticised Liverpool FC’s worst performance of the 2017-18 season following Wednesday night’s goalless draw with West Brom.
The Merseyside outfit welcomed the Baggies to Anfield in search of a return to winning ways following a frustrating 1-1 draw with Everton in the derby at the weekend.
Roberto Firmino spurned a great chance to tee up Philippe Coutinho for his sixth goal in four games when the Brazilian burst free but didn’t square to his compatriot.
West Brom hit the woodwork in the first half as Alan Pardew’s men were content to defend with most of their men behind the ball.
Liverpool introduced Dominic Solanke and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the final 10 minutes in search of an equaliser.
Former Chelsea striker Solanke managed to bundle the ball over the line but was adjudged to have handled the ball in the lead up to the goal and his effort was ruled out for offside.
Ex-Liverpool striker Aldridge criticised Jurgen Klopp’s men for their worst performance of the Premier League season.
Aldridge wrote on Twitter: “As bad a 1st half as I’ve seen this season!!hopefully can only get better!!”
Liverpool FC dropped to fifth place in the Premier League table on goal difference following Tottenham’s 2-0 win against Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night.
The Reds will make the trip to Bournemouth in their next Premier League fixture on Saturday.
