Let's not act as if Liverpool is miles away from the top spot. They are fourth right now after 8 games, and they are only 4 points away from the leader position and only one position away from being second place. While it is true that they have lost three games in a row, that means if they won all three, they would have been leading with five points.

It's proving that even a bad run will not make them too far away, as long as they can recover. They need the same but in reverse, if they win three in a row, I bet that other teams will lose some points in this game and they will be probably be back in the top position or very close. Arsenal can't go three for three, they rarely do that, and I bet we are going to do this a lot better.

it still baffles me that after all the money being spent by Liverpool during the transfer window, they are struggling like this. Is it that the coach doesn't know to use both the new and the old players!

Liverpool performed credible last season and struggling I'm this season is alarming and the issue is from the coach. Though they were trying at the beginning of this season but right now they are even in the 4th position of the EPL table. The coach has to do something. He needs to change the coaching style because the skills which he was using last has been conquered by other teams so he has to change skills before they can do well again.

Still, it's bad news, that consecutive defeat made Liverpool fall to the bottom, 5 points is quite a lot, at least Arsenal must lose twice in a row and Liverpool win all the remaining games to be able to return to the top, especially since Manchester City is in second place, this is good news for Liverpool, they will be very doubtful when they compete again.

In fact they lost and lost points, this is sad, and most people are afraid that Liverpool's performance will last a long time if they lose in a row like this, maybe they could be below the top 5 in the standings, look at how Bournemouth and Chelsea will soon overtake them, next week Brentford will welcome Liverpool to their home, and this is also becoming increasingly difficult for Liverpool at the Gtech Community Stadium.

But you should have checked when the post was made, even though the post was low according to what you said, you should have checked when he made the post and it was far back in 2023, that's 2 years+ ago and I think it shouldn't have been revisited in 2025 and I still believe that he or she might have been corrected that period when the post was made. Back to present day, it still baffles me that after all the money being spent by Liverpool during the transfer window, they are struggling like this. Is it that the coach doesn't know to use both the new and the old players!

What I understand about Liverpool's situation is that some players bought with a heavy amount are not giving their best and doing what they bought them for, I'm suprised how players like Wirtz and keeper are not being talked about for their poor performance weekly especially Wirtz, he's not lived up to the price he was bought yet and it's killing the team.

 Funny enough he can't be benched yet and I think they're considering the amount he was bought for and giving him more time to adapt but if I were the coach I'll bench him for a while to ease the pressure on him and place him on special drillings to help him get better, for now the only person I'm impressed with in thar team is Cody Gapko.

Liverpool performed credible last season and struggling I'm this season is alarming and the issue is from the coach. Though they were trying at the beginning of this season but right now they are even in the 4th position of the EPL table. The coach has to do something. He needs to change the coaching style because the skills which he was using last has been conquered by other teams so he has to change skills before they can do well again.

You are right, Arne Slot will have to change his tactics and find the mistakes. At the moment we can see how weak their defense is. Arne Slot must start working quickly to solve this problem, but we still don't know his plan and we don't know the internal problems of the team. I think this season we will not see Liverpool as strong as last season. Maybe we will see some changes in the upcoming transfer window if the coach tries hard enough to correct the mistakes of his team. For now we may not see Liverpool making a comeback.

Of course they did but this season is looking like a nightmare to them, the guys won 5 matches at the beginning but later started flopping, they have fallen cheap to the hand of their last 3 opponents in the English premier League which means they have lost 3 matches consecutively in the English premier League, this bad and what makes it look worrisome is that, the are the defending champions of this title, you're right, they manager has to wake up from sleep because everything is beginning to look like it wants to fall apart, with the recent occurrence, the managers job is threatened by the performance of his team and if he doesn't do anything fast then he should be prepared to face what's about to happen.

I don't know why you quote my old post (2 years ago)?, This is very strange because it does not match with the current situation. Maybe the same situation with 2 years ago, but MU now is different, they step to rising up in the midst unstable club. those name you are mentioned are no longer exists on that club, everything has been replaced, and Amorim know what he can do to fix the club.

Sorry I didn't notice i was on the 2nd page, I was really shocked to read what you posted but I was wrong now that I've just read what you posted.

As we know, MU has beaten the defending champion last night. This is a surprising thing as considering all the bet is leaning toward to Liverpool.

That only shows how venerable and poor Liverpool has been in recent times, not sure if Manchester united were better or just lucky Liverpool were not at their best.

I don't understand why you want to paint it as if Liverpool is having a good game. The truth is that Liverpool have been very poor lately and if they continue this way it will be very difficult for them to end in the top four. We can see Chelsea and Manchester United starting to pick form. Manchester City are already showing signs of a league contender and we still have Arsenal that are on top of the league and they are not showing any sign of slowing down soon.  All I can say to Liverpool fans is that they recover soon or else they will be surprised where they will be in the league after the next five matches.

The fact that Liverpool is losing game doesn't mean their performance is poor rather they have just been unfortunate lately, their previous loss against Manchester united was not because Manchester united played more than them, off cause Liverpool played more than Manchester united but they were unfortunate to win, they passed Manchester united in almost everything if you check there statistics and I think the reason for all these is because Isak haven't really understand or have not actually been working well with his wingers but finishing top four, they will definitely...

How do we know that a player is giving their best especially if the player is new! Shouldn't they even be the ones that will want to impress the most! In my own opinion, I think they are playing under pressure, you know when a player is bought for a huge amount of money, he naturally will want to justify such fees and most time in such doing they tend to be under pressure and of course it will lead to certain unavoidable mistakes. The thing, it's not just one that's not performing, that's the confusion. Wirtz and Isak especially, Ekitike is trying compared to these two.

That's true.liverpool as a team has been playing a very good brand of football in all these matches that they have actually lost in a row. The problem has been goal scoring the new strikers has not been lucky and has not blended well into the team perfectly. I don't see why people are actually concerned about the Liverpool situation because I don't see any wrong with this Liverpool team.


Liverpool is going to definitely bounce back bigger and better. bad results like this will actually help the work on the areas of weakness with a view to correcting their errors and getting better.

Arne Slot should maintain his current style of play and re-evaluate some players.
I don't understand why Alexander Isaak is so bad. He was a very good and efficient finisher on the team he joined.
Arne Slot should pay special attention to this player, or if that's not possible, he shouldn't give him any more playing time. I believe Arne Slot can find a solution. It's not too late, the last few matches were just bad, and he didn't drop many points.

What point drops when Liverpool are not playing like elite team, we've seen enough of the club already, unable to make things go faster for them this season. Liverpool manager, Arne Slot managed his team properly in his first season as headcoach for the club but definitely been unable to continue in the second season. He's experienced major setbacks and that alone is not good for the club.

Alexander Isak force his exits from St James Park and he's currently struggling to fit into his new club. Liverpool is not just any club that s player would easily perform and become world class, there's always time for adaptation and this is mainly one of the reason why most players find it really challenging to swiftly adapt to the club.

Don't you think it is too sudden and too early to be expecting this dude to do wonders and magic in Liverpool, it may not be sudden compare to how other players use to adapt but all players way of adaptating to a particular team or club is not the same so they should not bench him rather then should give him more time and he also need someone that will be talking out his spirit in order for him to pick up and start doing what they signed him for because right now, some people are already saying it is a waste of money and honestly speaking he was fucking expensive.

Liverpool 1 Vs Manchester United 2 FT
Salah lost it this time around as he failed to score against the EPL team his scored most goals against. He has made 18 appearances including this very game and scored 16 times against them so far. Salah would have gotten his goal in the first half but he was denied by the woodwork and again in the second half, but he blasted the shot away inches wide after been presented with a chance to try and turn it in. It was a nice game overall and both teams played impressively.

Currently, Liverpool is in its worst period under coach Arne Slot, with 4 consecutive losses, and most disappointingly, a loss to Manchester United, a team that has been very down in recent years and Liverpool's biggest rival, and Liverpool was even playing at home.

Liverpool can't beat Manchester United; they're going through their worst period of late. It's unbecoming of Liverpool to beat a team as in-form as Manchester United. They also had three shots that hit the post. At Manchester United, Altay Bayındır was on the bench, and Ruben Amorim gave him multiple chances, and it looks like he'll be on the bench now. I don't think Liverpool played badly, they were just on a bad day, so many goals were conceded. Gakpo's misses, along with those of other players, were quite high.

The head to head performance of Liverpool football team was brilliant as they won matches against Manchester United  football team and Manchester United  football team was expected as winner but they did well in last match and gave brilliant effort and did important goals in this match. There were two draw matches between these two teams in which both teams got equal points and we know players of that team did work on their strength and weaknesses and that was the reason they easily won this match .All credit goes to team members who played like a team and each person Played for the win and we saw no selfishness in this match as players collaboration was brilliant in this match and Manchester United  team won this match easily.

After that lose to Brentford yesterday it now the first time in history west ham will lose 4 consecutive home game at the start of the season. Nunu team is struggling and Also Nottingham forest is struggling l, it really bad for both parties. I still have faith in Nuno that he can turn it around, we have seen him do it severally in the premier league, he has done it at wolves and also at forest.

The next game against Leeds definitely need to count for them, they just have to get something in that game, even if it just a point. When I watch the game yesterday, you will see that it the defense that is the big problem, especially the center back. It too early to start discussing relegation so let see how the journey continues for west ham.

I really did not expected them to be that bad, I know them as a decent team thanks to their amazing manager, having this kind of start was not likely if you asked me at the start of the season. It's a great thing to see them not give up hope and still try though, you can see the players and how hard they are trying. Sometimes you just get unlucky but we can see them playing football well enough so I do not expect them to be bad at all.

I think they are going to recover from this and do well enough, we just need to focus on how to get the best out of this and do a wonderful job eventually. Their recovery will take time but eventually they can recover good enough to battle for fourth place, and if nothing else, then 7th place is still good enough.

Liverpool performed credible last season and struggling I'm this season is alarming and the issue is from the coach.

Liverpool performance was so good last season, and they were able to win the premier league title, but it’s surprising how they are playing currently, right from the beginning of the season, Liverpool have not really been good, they had a good defense last season, but their defense is so terrible this season, I don’t really know what’s wrong this season. Right from the beginning of the season Liverpool have been struggling to win most of their matches, they are always scoring late minute goals in most of their matches, but right now they are finding it difficult to even get a win.

Liverpools defence is different then last season and was expected that new players would give a better defence but they just didnt do anything. Both Kerkez and Frimpong didnt give much so far this season. Liverpool started the season really good but now i doubt they can do anything if they continue with this form. Something needs to change fast or their season might slip away from them in all competitions.

Let's not act as if Liverpool is miles away from the top spot. They are fourth right now after 8 games, and they are only 4 points away from the leader position and only one position away from being second place. While it is true that they have lost three games in a row, that means if they won all three, they would have been leading with five points.

It's proving that even a bad run will not make them too far away, as long as they can recover. They need the same but in reverse, if they win three in a row, I bet that other teams will lose some points in this game and they will be probably be back in the top position or very close. Arsenal can't go three for three, they rarely do that, and I bet we are going to do this a lot better.

It's not that far, but Liverpool must overtake Manchester City and Arsenal, currently in first and second place. This won't be easy, unless Arsenal and Manchester City drop points in their next two matches and Liverpool wins their next match. Liverpool could still comeback, while Arsenal and Manchester City could also maintain their points gap. Liverpool could lose and fall further behind, so that's a possibility and we can't be certain.

Today, Arsenal and Manchester City both won their respective Champions League matches. Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid in impressive fashion, with the final score being 4-0 in favor of Arteta's side. Meanwhile, Liverpool must comeback in their next match against Frankfurt. A win would boost morale, but a defeat would be even worse.

especially after a credible last season. Currently, Liverpool sits in third place in the Premier League table with 15 points from 8 matches. They've won 5 games, lost 3, and haven't drawn any.

Jurgen Klopp's comments on Slot's potential return suggest that while Klopp has praise for Slot's success in winning the league, he acknowledges that the current situation demands different solutions.
