"Each defeat, especially the manner of the defeat, you become closer (to a crisis), Gerrard said whilst on punditry duty with TNT Sports. Crisis for me means years to get back to the top, I don't think Liverpool are at that point yet. They've still got magnificent players."
"I think crisis is too strong, he added, before it was put to him that this was Liverpool's worst run since 1953. That's not good enough, he admitted. There's no excuses for that at this football club. I think everyone knows that. But crisis is a very strong word and disrespectful to the players that have delivered for this club, and for the manager that's delivered three months ago."
"You can't deny that this team is struggling massively, they're on a terrible run, confidence is at an all-time low. They keep conceding goals, they're wide open, and unless the manager can find answers and stability in the team, it's going to continue."
Liverpool suffered a 4-1 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven following a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield. The club has lost nine of its last twelve matches across competitions, with goals conceded and defensive exposure recurring. Player quality remains high but confidence is reported to be at an all-time low. The situation has produced widespread concern, and continued poor results could escalate. The manager must find tactical answers and stability in selection to halt the slide and prevent the run from getting worse.
