"Coming off the heels of a fantastic 2024-25 campaign that resulted in another Premier League title (at the expense of my beloved Arsenal), Liverpool have recently hit a run of horrible form. They've won just two of their last 10 domestic games and they were recently spanked at their historic home of Anfield in the Champions League. In the Premier League, they are as close to the top spot in the table as they are to the relegation zone."
"but it is especially noteworthy when you consider that Liverpool - and thus, John Henry and the FSG brass - committed in transfer fees to improve their squad during the Premier League transfer window this summer. Liverpool ponied up more money than the GDP of Tonga and all they currently have to show for it is to be tied on points with Sunderland, a team that was in the division below the Premier League last season."
Liverpool remains one of the world’s biggest sporting brands with vast global support and recent major trophies, including Premiership titles and a 2019 Champions League win. The club followed a 2024-25 Premier League triumph with a sudden downturn in results, winning only two of its last ten domestic matches and suffering Champions League defeats at Anfield. The slump is notable given significant investment in new players during the summer transfer window, yet the team sits level on points with newly promoted Sunderland. Additional strain has arisen from a public falling-out between Mohamed Salah and manager Arne Slot.
