Rio Ferdinand worries that Liverpool have lost their 'mojo' and may not qualify for the Champions League after their 4-1 loss to Manchester City. The gulf between the two sides on Saturday was clear to see, with Liverpool taking the lead but City eventually running away with the game. With further tough games ahead, Ferdinand fears that Jurgen Klopp's team may struggle to make the top four this season.
He told BT Sport: "They seem to have lost that mojo, it's hard to put your finger on exactly why. When they were flying, no one questioned him as a leader!"

Rio Ferdinand has expressed his concerns that Liverpool have ‘lost their mojo’ and are unlikely to finish in the top four after Saturday’s disappointing 4-1 defeat against Manchester City. Despite taking an early lead, Liverpool failed to match City's intensity and were ultimately outplayed by the reigning champions.
Ferdinand also criticised the midfield of Jurgen Klopp's side, claiming that “every single City midfielder gets in the team if you were to merge both teams and put the best players in”. With two tough fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal coming up, Ferdinand believes that the team needs to rediscover their fire and confidence in order to qualify for the Champions League.
Despite the recent setback, Ferdinand remains hopeful that Liverpool can turn their fortunes around. He said that “when they were flying, no one questioned him [Virgil van Dijk] as a leader”, showing his faith in the squad's ability to recover and recapture their impressive form from the last three years.
