I don't think the fire that Liverpool once had is there anymore.
Liverpool lost some key players last season and the new players who joined them did not immediately fit in. They will perform better this season.
All new players at any club will definitely need adaptation to be able to keep up with the game from that club so it is only natural that new players owned by Liverpool cannot play optimally.
But after playing for one season, I think it's enough for them, the new Liverpool players, to be able to play well and be able to collaborate with other players.
Even though they can play well this season, that doesn't guarantee they can win the title.
But at least if you can finish the season in the top 4 Liverpool will get a ticket for the Champions League next season.
Liverpool really did not get good achievements last season but that does not mean they will repeat the same mistake this season. The new season is a moment for a change, and I think Liverpool will definitely make good preparations so they can get back on the title race.
