I'm not saying that Liverpool is in bad shape right now. Experiments are good, but it is desirable that they do not bring defeat, a draw at most, to assess the game and cause minimal damage. Transfers and strengthening the team is always a good thing, and they should use the opportunity if there is one, I mean the purchase of players. Liverpool, I believe, did not use this opportunity in the summer.
Still, with their current condition and with their quality, it can still be called bad even though they only suffered 2 defeats earlier this season.
My initial expectation was that they played this very well at the start so when they didn't turn out as I expected it was clear it's still bad especially with their goal productivity which is arguably lacking at the moment.
