We're 6 points behind with half the season to go, I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet.
The problem is Fabinho and Henderson are the engine of the midfield and by playing them as centre backs you take that midfield thrust away.

Thiago is a quality player who will be much better next season.

A Liverpool supporter never throws in the towel but one has to be realistic rather then being over optimistic.

Of course we couldn't anticipate the antics of our noisy neighbours alehouse goalkeeper and the sudden brittleness of Gomez and Matip.
I think VVD will back back before season end but possibly not soon enough.
l would say they are not stalling but are being realistic as you tell me who can they get at this time of the season?.
