I don’t know why you think Liverpool will not be able to compete in the upcoming Champions League competition. Is it that you underrate them that much or what? Because you don’t really understand, don’t forget what Liverpool did at the Premier League competition this season. They were trying their possible best to compete with all those big clubs, although they later went down and their performances started declining. But that doesn't mean they will not do more in the Champions League. Liverpool are also good enough to compete, so let’s watch and see how they will come through this season.
This season Liverpool is no longer managed by Jurgen Klopp. I think we can understand why some people are not confident with Liverpool anymore. Moreover, the new coach of Liverpool has no experience in UCL. He even never managed a big team in Europe, Liverpool is his first big team to manage by him. Instead of thinking to win UCL title, Liverpool must try to keep their good performance in EPL. However, Liverpool still can compete with other teams in UCL even if they are no longer as one of the favorite teams now. If there is no big change in their squad, I think it is not impossible to see them until the quarter-final or even semi-final. As long as they won't face Real Madrid or Man City in the early of knock-out round.
