Look, Liverpool has changed a bit this season compared to last season, they should not focus on every cup but follow the target to win any cup. Even if there was a slight gap last season, this season they can fill that gap, because every team tries to perform better in the future season than the past season, in that case, if Liverpool continues their efforts by improving their performance, there will definitely be a chance to win.
Liverpool are in their squad development again after they realized that a Premier League title won two seasons ago with Arne Slot is like a last success with players from Klopp era but with a new head coach. The last season shown that Liverpool have yet gotten a too strong and competitive squad for competing in many competitions and win many titles in a season.
They perhaps already learned from this last failed season and changed their strategy in this season. If they already self limit their targets in this season, they will reduce a lot of pressure on their coach, staffs and players but two first bad matches with only 2 points are not actually good start for them in Premier League. From a good strategy to a good season at the end, Liverpool still have many things to work, improve and fight for it.
