"Liverpool spent big in the summer transfer window, but their signings have not paid off. They have arguably become worse despite spending over £400 million over the summer. Arne Slot's side were defeated 3-0 by Manchester City yesterday, which left them eighth in the Premier League. The defending champions are now eight points behind the leaders Arsenal after 11 games."
"Alexander Isak's lack of a pre-season after going on strike at Newcastle United has led to a slow start to the season. He is yet to score a Premier League goal this campaign. Florian Wirtz has struggled to adapt to English soccer after starring in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. Milos Kerkez has not been able to replicate his form in a Bournemouth shirt in Liverpool colors."
Liverpool spent over £400 million in the summer yet results have dipped, leaving the team eighth after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City and eight points behind Arsenal after 11 games. The side recorded a Champions League win over Real Madrid but several key signings have underperformed. Alexander Isak has lacked pre-season and remains goalless in the Premier League; Florian Wirtz has struggled to adapt; Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have failed to replicate previous form or remain injury-affected. Central defence remains a weakness; Giovanni Leoni is injured and Marc Guéhi is the obvious January target if Palace find a replacement.
