Considering the strength they displayed last season, both in domestic competition and on the European stage, this drop in form has taken supporters and analysts by surprise.
The expectations were high. Liverpool entered the new campaign with a strong squad, renewed confidence, and the belief that they could once again challenge for major honours. Instead, the team has struggled to find consistency, lacked their usual sharpness, and failed to impose the dominant style of football that once defined them.
Their league form has been unsteady, marked by missed chances, defensive lapses, and an inability to maintain control in key moments. In Europe, the situation hasn’t been much better, with performances lacking the intensity and precision required to compete at the highest level.
For a club accustomed to competing at the top, these standings are a stark reminder of how quickly momentum can shift in football. Fans are now left wondering whether Liverpool can rediscover their identity and turn their season around before the gap becomes too wide to close.
