I even feel Liverpool was in a better position of winning last season than they are now even though with the quality and depth of their squad this season, there seem to be this slight weakness in their mentality although I am only hoping that before the end if this season they get that fixed so it does not affect and reduce their chances of winning the title or champions league this season, they are still amongst top picks to win the champions league even with this poor form of theirs actually.
No, the squad in the Liverpool team right now can't be compared to what they had last season this season they have a very solid team but their mentality is still very low due to the pains in the team after losing their player Jota. For the league this season Liverpool has the best squad but coming to the champions League they have to get to the quarter finals before one can be sure of them winning it.
There's no need to make excuses; while Liverpool has a good squad, they appear to be performing worse this season than last. They're struggling to find chances and are ineffective in attack. The team may be at a level sufficient for the Champions League, but they need to find their rhythm to win the title. For Liverpool to succeed in the finals, they need to be fully mentally prepared for the Champions League.
They may be trying to get use to themselves you know they have new players amongst them and they just played their 3rd game don't you think it's too early to start calling their performance worse, they may just have find it easy against Newcastle United which could be the match you noticed their weakness but looking at how the team is going to appear with Isak added to the squad they should be very ready for the champions league and the target is going to be to lift the trophy.
