"Four defeats in a row, fourth in the Premier League table and four points behind leaders Arsenal. Something has gone wrong at Liverpool. For a team that cantered to the league title last season, Liverpool suddenly look vulnerable at the back, lethargic in midfield and toothless in attack. To make matters worse, Arne Slot - after spending almost 450m on new talent - doesn't seem to know his best starting XI."
"Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool's talisman for the past eight seasons. But, after scoring 29 goals in 38 league games last season, the winger has not been firing on all cylinders so far this term. Salah has not scored in the Premier League since 14 September when he netted a stoppage-time penalty to earn a 1-0 win over Burnley, while he has not scored from open play in the league since the Reds' opening game against Bournemouth."
Liverpool have suffered four consecutive defeats, lie fourth in the Premier League and are four points behind leaders Arsenal. The team appears defensively vulnerable, sluggish in midfield and lacking attacking cutting edge compared with last season's title-winning form. Manager Arne Slot has invested almost £450m in new players but has not settled on a best starting XI, often leaving expensive summer signings on the bench. Stephen Warnock warned of a dilemma fitting those players in and noted that price tags do not guarantee fit. Mohamed Salah's goal output has dropped, with no Premier League goals from open play since the opening game.
