Robbie Fowler has expressed growing concern over Liverpool’s struggles this season, suggesting that the club made a costly mistake by letting a key £65 million player leave during the summer transfer window. The former Reds striker believes the decision has created a significant void in Arne Slot’s squad — one the team has yet to properly address.
According to Fowler, the departed player offered qualities Liverpool are now desperately lacking, whether in creativity, physical presence, or tactical balance. His absence, Fowler argues, has contributed to the team’s inconsistency and inability to maintain control in crucial moments of matches.
The Liverpool legend emphasised that while new signings were brought in, none have fully replaced the influence and reliability of the player who left. As a result, Slot has been forced to make constant adjustments, with the team struggling to find rhythm or stability.
Fowler’s comments add to the growing chorus of criticism surrounding Liverpool’s summer decisions, with many fans agreeing that the club underestimated the importance of the player they allowed to leave. As the season continues, the spotlight now turns to whether Liverpool can find an adequate solution — or if this will remain a defining weakness in their campaign.
