Why Liverpool will not win the Premier League Title 2018/2019
1. Lack of squad depth
As seen this season in both the Carabao Cup and the Champions League this Liverpool team struggle when their strongest 11 aren't on the pitch. Players like Dejan Lovren, Alberto Moreno and Adam Lallana are decent players but are not good enough to come in for an extended run and keep them at the top of the league. Compared to Manchester City their strength in depth is still lacking to ensure a title victory.2. Lack of firepower
The majority of the time the teams that win the premier league title have top strikers but also goals from all around the team. Whether it be Lampard for Chelsea, Giggs for United or Toure for City these teams had goals from their midfield and even their defence. I believe liverpool lack this as if Firminio, Mane and Salah don't score they lack another player who will score a goal in a crucial moment.
3. Lack of Killer Instinct
This has been the biggest change from last season, the front three were ruthless in front of goal and punished any team in the league. However, this season they just look like some of their confidence has gone missing and that clinical edge has disappeared from their game.
4. Lack of experience
In this Liverpool team there is very little experience in wiining trophies. To go through a 38 game season with the other competitions there is immense pressure on Liverpool to win a trophy especially the Premier League. These players have high quality but they do lack the experience it takes to go all the way and win a title.
5. Lack of Trophies
Over the Jurgen Klopp era Liverpool have played great football that has been rightly prasied. However, there has been a lack of trophies. They lost a Europa League, Carabao Cup and Champions Legaue final in his time at the club and that has to have a psychological impact on the players at the club.
Overall
Liverpool will be in the Top Four this season I have no doubt about that, But I just feel due to these factors that they will miss out on the Premier League Title.
