“Liverpool, by any measure, have had a stuttering start to the season. Three losses in the league(more than last season already we are consistently told – although it wasn’t Liverpool’s losses last year that caused them to come 2nd in the league… rather the number of draws against weak opposition. Liverpool, after all, came top of the top four table by quite some margin. It did not matter a jot) and a poor, poor performance against Fiorentina can at best be called stuttering, at worst a crisis but is probably a shade closer to the former than the latter.” (Left Back in the Changing Room)
