Exactly my point. That's the same way Man city was written off in 2019 but they later came back and snapped the title from Liverpool's grasp. Liverpool just needs to fix their defensive issues and a couple of wins to gain more confidence and bolster us into the title race again. I believe once our defensive problems are under wraps, we wouldst start delivering top notch performances and results to go with it. It would be a big boost if Liverpool can get some recoveries. Van Dijk or Gomez returning soon could be a game changer. Not to mention a couple of other key players - Keita, Jota or any of the new boys, Ben Davies and Ozan taking up a key role at the heart of Liverpool's defense.
I'm quite hopeful that we'll bounce back into the title race. It's not over (YET).
I want to believe that Liverpools problem are not down to defensive frailities entirely; the entire team is struggling with chance creations as there are no creativity either from the wings or from the full backs; Klopp needs to strategize another way out to create chances from the center; apart from spamming crosses from the corners of the pitch. Jota offers something different to liverpools attack; and his return from injury will definitely help liverpool creativity problems
