I've been around this game long enough to know when something's not right. And folks, something is not right at Anfield.
Liverpool have now lost 10 games in a Premier League season for the first time since 2015/16. Let that sink in. They've dropped more league games in 2025/26 than they did in the previous two seasons combined. That's not a slump - that's a collapse.
The latest setback? A 2-1 defeat to Brighton at the American Express Stadium. Danny Welbeck - yes, 35-year-old Danny Welbeck - scored twice to sink the Reds. And you know what? Good for him. At his age, breaking his own Premier League scoring record with 12 goals this season? That's pure class.
But this isn't about Brighton's brilliance. This is about Liverpool's decline. This is a team that, not long ago, was challenging for every trophy. Now? They're barely holding onto a European spot, sitting just three points clear of Everton in seventh.
The stats don't lie, folks. Liverpool brought in Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez to bolster the squad. On paper, this team should be competing at the top. But football isn't played on paper.
When Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté are picking up yellow cards left and right, when the midfield can't control games, when you're getting outworked by teams you should be beating - that's when you know there's something fundamentally wrong.
According to Squawka, the numbers are damning. Ten losses. More defeats than the last two campaigns combined. For a club of Liverpool's stature, that's unacceptable.
