Alarm bells are ringing amongst Liverpool supporters, and rival fans are rubbing their hands with glee after the Premier League champions continue their dreadful run of form.
Liverpool have now lost their last four league matches following a perfect start to their title defence, with five wins in their first five league fixtures.
Add their League Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, and some fans are in panic after watching their team experience the 6th-worst Premier League start by reigning champions in the history of the competition.
However, is it really as bad as it seems? They are only two points off the Champions League qualification spots, seven points behind leaders Arsenal (with 29 games remaining).
They are only outside the Champions League automatic knockout qualification zone due to goal difference.
Add the fact that they have suffered some key injuries and a few out-of-form players, most of whom will be returning to action soon, and it really isn’t all that bad.
Liverpool’s next three games are at home to Aston Villa (EPL) and Real Madrid (UCL) followed by a trip to Manchester City who are only one point ahead of them in the league and a single point ahead in the Champions League.
If Liverpool win against Villa, Madrid and City, all will be forgotten, and their current poor run will just be remembered as a mere blip.
However, a loss against an improving Aston Villa team and an ever-threatening Real Madrid side, Liverpool fans will rightly start to doubt their team and its manager.
It will be an interesting couple of weeks for Liverpool fans and rivals alike.
