Of course I can, it's clearly a significant factor, injuries and fatigue being the main reason for the drop off. The atmosphere at Anfield is world renowned and clearly gave the home team a significant advantage over most clubs. With VVD and Gomez missing (Matip/Lovren too) - the team can't hold such a high line effectively and thus are susceptible to a ball over the top - the players filling those positions aren't good enough, they're midfield players who break up play (Fabinho/Henderson/Keita/Wijnaldum). The chase begins up front and the efforts of Mane/Salah and Firmino are fruitless if the midfielders aren't there to pick up the scraps. Finally, it does look like TAA, Mane, Salah are shadows of their former selves and perhaps the CV they're suffered has taken something from them. Confidence has taken a hit but there's not much wrong with the team as the occasional result shows.. they need rest cleary and if they can resist Leipzig next week before the international break then might still have a say in where 'big ears' ends up?
