Liverpool could still be mentally 'broken' by missing out on both the Premier League title and Champions League at the final hurdle last season.
That's according to Ally McCoist and Danny Murphy, who have been separately discussing the Reds' miserable start to the new season, which currently sees Jurgen Klopp's side languishing in 10th place in the Premier League table.
The Merseyside club almost completed an unprecedented clean sweep of major trophies last term, winning both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup before reaching the Champions League final and taking the league title race to the final day. But Manchester City's dramatic victory against Aston Villa from two goals down denied Liverpool a record-equalling 20th league title and that hammer-blow was followed up with a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris, leaving players to wonder what might have been.
