UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

[Mayor of ogba]

His performance is still not solid which makes Liverpool's situation a little more difficult. When talking about capacity, maybe Wirtz is currently still one of the young players who has potential especially after his slick performance at Leverkusen but in the end this situation cannot be used as a benchmark for now especially when at Liverpool because Wirtz still cannot make some breakthroughs here.

It may be true that they need understanding and support but in the end this situation could be worse if in the end Wirtz still cannot show a good situation until now because the reason for adaptation could be very difficult to accept later for some fans.
We saw Darwin last season who eventually went to the SPL and if the same situation happens for Wirtz where he still can't develop himself then it could be very difficult in the end.

Liverpool are losing 2-0 and it was very predictable for me given the formation he used against a team like Crystal Palace that has a good record against them and even losing the last head to head recently by 2 goals to 1 with Liverpool displaying a very disappointing performance.

This match is a deciding game for Liverpool in the competition and they have not shown a sign of competition or communication on the pitch which has being really discouraging.

The funny thing about the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace match in the Carabao Cup last night is that before the match started, Crystal Palace's head coach said that they were going to Anfield to beat Liverpool. I thought Arne Slot would be motivated by the statement of Crystal Palace head coach to knock out Crystal Palace from the Carabao Cup, but it seems Crystal Palace head coach knows the right tactics to use and beat Arne Slot and his men.

Perhaps more accurately, the Crystal Palace manager already knew that Arne Slot wouldn't prioritize this match and would only field his reserve players. Therefore, Crystal Palace, who had previously beaten Liverpool even when Liverpool used their full squad, now felt even more confident that they could beat Liverpool again. This was especially true since Arne Slot didn't use many of his first-team players.

I was truly disappointed with Liverpool in that match. This defeat will only lead to further criticism of Arne Slot. Unless he can prove Liverpool can perform better again in the Premier League and the Champions League, then his reputation will be restored.

Even though what might happen is Slot's tactic, I didn’t expect him to be bold enough to take the risk with that defeat, especially considering their poor results in the last few Premier League matches. I don’t expect this to continue with Liverpool. It’s not too late to return to their good form, especially in the Champions League, where I think their target will still be to secure a spot in the next round. Their next opponent is not weak; hopefully, Slot really has a plan.

[martinom]

Slot won the premier league in his first season at Liverpool therefore he's now feeling too relaxed like he has nothing to prove again not knowing that he hasn't won the champions League and still needs to retain the title like how other managers are doing before the fans will begin to see him as a qualified coach. The game against Liverpool isn't going to end as most individuals are thinking that Real Madrid is going to destroy Liverpool. One thing about Liverpool games this season is that for teams that they aren't supposed to be losing against, that's when you begin to see them play badly but for big teams they play very well and if they were to lose the game, it'll be by a small margin.

maybe after a great victory like the one last year I have to say that this is the time to fire the coach, many other teams decide to leave the coach on foot after a great victory because it might not happen again and it has been done almost always and often

He played his young players in that match in full, mostly he tested the team he had, and if you talk about disappointment it must be very disappointed, because they seem to lose motivation to get a victory in any league they follow. Slot I think he has gone in the wrong direction, if he can only present things like this then he is not worthy and is no longer able to compete as a leader coach, he really has to learn.

They actually posted on their official Twitter (X) handle. Showing off the consistent winning they had over Liverpool this season and last season in the FA Cup finals. To be honest, Crystal Palace made other clubs have so much confidence in going to Anfield. In the past, Anfield was a no-go area; any club going there must be very careful and too cautious if they want to win. Now it is a regular thing for any club. Arsne Slot has even made it more difficult for the Liverpool players to have confidence.

Crystal did play very well in this match. However their performance was due to Liverpool's poor performance, a result of Arne Slot's strategic error. He was overconfident in using young players to prove he could win again. In Liverpool's current situation when they need a win to regain their confidence they should field a full squad. Liverpool needs a win right now as they have been in poor form in recent matches so a win is crucial. However it seems Arne Slot underestimated Crystal Palace in this match, resulting in a crushing defeat and their elimination from the competition.

Liverpool's next matches will be against Aston Villa in the Premier League and Real Madrid in UCL. Given Liverpool's current form and in UCL Liverpool are unlikely to be able to put pressure on Real Madrid, especially since Real Madrid is currently in their best form. Liverpool will currently find it difficult to rise especially since Arne Slot does not have a solution to make Liverpool rise even though Liverpool currently has an expensive squad.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But indeed they missed which allowed Madrid to get the advantage and even lasted until the end. But it cannot be denied that the victory was also very worthy of Madrid if we see how they perform on the field.

I don't Know if you've Noticed, but you Know that the other team Doesn't forgive the Slightest mistake , they Can't and Shouldn't make any Mistakes because that means a near-goal or a goal , and a goal in the UCL makes the game very complicated It's difficult for Juve because they're a great team They need to start Winning They haven't even had a single victory, Madrid are already doing much Better , but they can't let their Guard Down.

Crystal Palace is currently a team with high confidence. This is especially true since they've already beaten Liverpool. So they feel they already know what to expect when facing a team like Liverpool. They were also fortunate enough that Arne Slot fielded Liverpool's second-string players. This gave Crystal Palace a much better chance of winning this match. However, I don't understand Arne Slot's plans or thinking at all. Was he really throwing away the opportunity to advance further in the competition or what? He seemed to be treating this match like a trial match for the Liverpool squad.

But I hope he has a plan for all of this. Don't let the sacrifices made in that match be in vain. And in the Champions League, I hope he doesn't make any ridiculous plans. I hope he truly improves this team's performance. So when we face Real Madrid, we can see Liverpool play just as well. That would make for a more exciting match.

Liverpool are not in there best form anymore and that is why Crystal Palace as get much opportunities against them in the Anfield. With how they are playing this season I don't think they can go anywhere this time around, they have be eliminated against Crystal Palace in the caraba Cup this season. Remain the ucl and the FA Cup and league competition, and there next game in the ucl will he against Real Madrid in the Anfield and since Crystal Palace as the chance to defeat them at home definitely Real Madrid will also have the hope to defeat slot at home and continue in the competition because Real Madrid have not lost any of there game in the Champions League this season,  and am sure they will win all the 8 matches in the group.

I don't really know what Slot will do and make the team get back to there best form again, Isak as be a bad luck to the club since he came the club they are just struggling to win matches in the competition. Let see if they can fix things right before there next matches in all competitions.

I see it a bit differently. I think Slot fully understands Liverpool’s current issues — fatigue, lack of depth, and the need to manage the schedule smartly. This defeat isn’t a disaster; it’s more like a strategic decision. By not overloading key players, he’s freeing up time to focus on what really matters — the Premier League and the Champions League. Sometimes taking a step back in one competition helps you move forward in others.

Things are looking pretty chaotic for Liverpool right now. They're currently in seventh place in the Premier League. While the gap between second and seventh is slim, just three points, the ranking still reflects a team's performance in the first few matches of the season. So, it's true that Liverpool aren't in their best form right now. And this could be their worst yet. However, Arne Slot certainly doesn't want the same thing to happen in the Champions League. He led Liverpool to the Premier League title last season, so I'm sure his goal this season is to lead Liverpool to the Champions League title. However, the current situation seems to indicate that Slot's goal won't be easily achieved. In fact, his chances are dwindling.

For me I feel Liverpool are really going to find it hard before they get their self and I don't know if I can attribute their current bad playing form to fatigue, lack of tiredness or just poor technical choices from the coach. They won the champions league against Frankfurt but still showed signs of possibilities of errors in that game and I won't be surprised that if there opponent were to be anyone else then they would have found it difficult to win that game. For me I really feel Liverpool should just start making plans to replace their manager because that's exactly how the failure and struggles begin in a big club.

[Volgastallion]

Liverpool is still having good face here in the Champions League and is in the only tournament where they are doing fine, in all other majors competitions are doing quite bad, in Premier League they are 3/4 lose in a  row and now they are also out of the EFL cup after the lose against Crystal Palace yesterday.

So until now the only competition left for them is this one.

Fatigue shouldn't be an excuse for the poor performance of Liverpool because they haven't played many matches since the season hasn't gone far. Look at from when they started losing their matches, it's too early to complain about fatigue what will you say if we're in the second half of the season. Flick needs to put his shit together and fix the problem.

Crystal Palace played that match with so much confidence and that was why they got the victory over Liverpool. Maybe Liverpool underrated them due to their recent losses, but I also felt Liverpool should be more motivated in this match because of their back to back losses recently but that was never the case in this match. Now that they’re out of the Carabao Cup, they can at least have more pressure of coming more matches and focus on the ones they’re currently participating in. I didn't envision such season for Liverpool, but we just have to wait and see how things turns out for them before the end of the season.

Liverpool are currently feeling comfortable playing only against weaker teams. Liverpool seem to be very scared of even the strongest teams. I don't understand the reason for this fear. Even though they have enough strength, they are not able to play with full effort on the field. I think Liverpool need a break now. They are very confused due to various pressures.

They are already on the verge of losing the Premier League, EFL Cup and other competitions by making them worse. So I think they should not pay attention to other leagues and now focus only on the Champions League. I think it is good to relieve themselves of the pressure by focusing on one league and return to the field as before.

[Jegileman]

Slot won the premier league in his first season at Liverpool therefore he's now feeling too relaxed like he has nothing to prove again not knowing that he hasn't won the champions League and still needs to retain the title like how other managers are doing before the fans will begin to see him as a qualified coach.

If he’s feeling relaxed after winning the premier league means he’s not ready to keep his job at the club. He may be considered after failing to win anything this season because he won the EPL last season, but that will also be determined on the position he gets to finish this season on. He should seek to win bigger trophy like the UCL if he wants to be hailed by the fans as best coach, so he has a lot of work to do on his part now for the team’s overall success.

The game against Liverpool isn't going to end as most individuals are thinking that Real Madrid is going to destroy Liverpool. One thing about Liverpool games this season is that for teams that they aren't supposed to be losing against, that's when you begin to see them play badly but for big teams they play very well and if they were to lose the game, it'll be by a small margin.

They don’t need to play lesser or better against any team, they need to maintain consistency of great form and performance in every match and that’s when we will get to see them play better and win more matches. The idea of underrating a smaller team is not something they should do this season. Real Madrid is already seen as a better team that will win in their next UCL match because of their consistent loss.

The disappointment you feel is perfectly natural, it is simply an emotional outburst over what has happened to your favorite club, and it is shared by all Liverpool fans at the moment. They cannot believe that the club they are so proud of for all its achievements is performing so poorly this season. The Liverpool we know is a team that never gives up, even when trailing by a goal in a match, they always manage to turn things around and surprise everyone. However, from what we can see at the moment, Liverpool seems to have lost its fighting spirit. The players appear to have lost their confidence and are not performing consistently at all. Suffering defeat after defeat is a heavy blow. Arne Slot is an exceptional coach, no one doubts that, but so far there have been no tangible results that are satisfactory. He must find the best solution to all the current problems as soon as possible.

Yes, that's the fact, and I hope they improve on themselves before any matches now. Crystal Palace also uses the advantages and collect victory from them. The season has been a huge tougher one for Liverpool club, and it’s so surprising to people seeing how poorly Liverpool are doing in their matches recently. Obviously, at the beginning of the season, Liverpool were having a lot of hope and feeling of excitement because the team performance was actually accurate. However, things have taken a very big downward turn for Liverpool, and Liverpool are presently facing unexpected losses, both from the big club and the small club, which is so disappointing and surprising for everyone. Well, Liverpool need to work on themselves, and they should also focus on improving their players skills.
