The reigning Premier League champions entered this season with high expectations, following a summer spending spree of $565M(!!) on star names including Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. A promising start in the standings masked numerous issues on the field that continue to loom over the club: new summer signings have massively underwhelmed and previously reliable club stars have become liabilities, both of which have been intensified by the lack of a clear tactical plan. The Reds have now won only 4 of their last 14 games (at the time of recording), and Head Coach Arne Slot seems to be hanging on by a thread as both supporting and rival fans clamor for his dismissal. Who’s to blame? Is it on the coach? Is it on the players? Is it just a matter of unfortunate circumstances? Join us on a BONUS episode of Against The Grain on KTRU 96.1 FM as we dissect the potential root causes of Liverpool’s poor run of form.
