Without CL qualification this season is 0 out of 10!

AREWELL then, to a really poor season for Liverpool. It started well enough, but then just drifted and it never really went back on any sort of consistent course.

- John Aldridge

Everyone is no doubt still bewildered how matters could change so dramatically from last year when the Premier League title was won in dominant fashion.

This has been a three out of 10 season. And let me tell you, if Champions League qualification had not been secured then it would have been a big fat zero.

Arne Slot can blame injuries all day long as a reason for the underperformance, but it isn’t just about that. I failed to see the players running through a brick wall for the head coach or the supporters. It just didn’t happen consistently.

Don't get me wrong, they were trying. In some cases they were probably guilty of trying a bit too much.

But why weren't they in the faces of the opposition more often? Why weren't there more times when rivals were being hounded by two or three Liverpool players at a time? It was all very passive and not very entertaining.
