Overview
- Alexis Mac Allister told Sky Sports that Liverpool "changed too many things" over the summer and that a title defense is no longer realistic.
- Liverpool sit fourth at the halfway point after a 0-0 draw with Leeds, trailing leaders Arsenal by 12 points.
- The club executed a major rebuild with roughly £446 million spent on first‑team signings, including Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, whose integration has lagged.
- Cohesion has been affected by high‑profile departures such as Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s sale and the pre‑season death of Diogo Jota.
- Mac Allister urged the squad to "become a team" and prioritize the Champions League and FA Cup, a stance that adds to pressure on head coach Arne Slot.
