The giants from Anfield confidently claimed the Premier League title last season. However, this year they lost to Crystal Palace in both the Super Cup and the League Cup. There are also plenty of problems in other competitions.
They let a win slip away against Leeds at the end, and later Salah criticized the club. In the Champions League, they managed a controversial win over Inter, already without Mohamed, thanks to a disputed refereeing decision.
Hürzeler was invited to the Albion to return his new team to European competition. Last season, he fell just short: they finished eighth, but Crystal Palace’s cup win denied them even a spot in the Conference League. The fight continues this season, though they lost to Arsenal in the League Cup.
After beating Nottingham Forest, they suffered defeat against Aston Villa and only managed a draw with West Ham.
