Liverpool hero Mark Lawrenson has lost hope of them finishing inside the top four this season.

The Reds have struggled for consistency this term.

Speaking on the Weekend Sports Breakfast: “I just don't see it.

“It's sheer inconsistency. Virgil van Dijk is still out as well, It was said two months ago that if you get at Liverpool, you will create chances.

“That's what all the teams have done lately when they play against them – they don't just sit back, they think of having a go at them. They've not got great legs in midfield and they lack experience.

“They're going through that change a little bit. They haven't become a bad side and the manager is not a bad manager – he's outstanding.

“He's said it already, it's one of those where they get to the summer and the revolving door will open: there will be people coming out and people coming in."
