“?BBC pundit Chris Waddle has criticised Liverpool following their shock home loss to Swansea City on Saturday and has said that the Reds lack a “plan B”.
Jurgen Klopp’s side saw their unbeaten home record come to an end, as the Premier League’s bottom club ended up on the right end of the 3-2 scoreline.
Gylfi Sigurdsson scored the winner 16 minutes from time, as Paul Clement’s men dealt a serious blow to Liverpool’s title aspirations, as well as giving themselves a lifeline in the fight for survival.

Despite dominating possession for much of the game, the hosts were unable to convert a number of chances late on and could well find themselves 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea by Sunday evening.
Whilst Klopp struggled to explain the defeat after the full-time whistle, Chris Waddle has told the BBC that the German’s style of play is mainly to blame for the Reds’ failures against Swansea.
The former England international said (as quoted by the “?Star): “Klopp’s style of football is great on the eye. He plays high energy football but Liverpool have had a lot of games recently.
“The way he plays, it is demanding on the legs. Today, Coutinho was not 100 percent fit. Firmino scored two good goals but struggled to get in the game for the most of it. Lallana – some nice touches but no end product.

“When these players aren’t firing where is the Plan B? Defensively Liverpool are always suspect.
You can’t concede three goals at home to the team bottom of the league and expect to win the title.”
