Liverpool would suffer what felt like countless low points during the 2022/23 season. Sure, there would be a few false dawns along the way too, but each time the Reds picked themselves up, it would not be long before they were brought crashing back down to earth.
You can only hit ‘rock bottom’ so many times, yet Jurgen Klopp’s side had to keep redefining what ‘rock bottom’ actually was with each new low.
Admittedly this is all hyperbolic. An 11-game unbeaten run to finish the season would see Liverpool recover to fifth, after all. Such a finish would be an achievement to so many sides, with the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa celebrating ‘mere’ European qualification, courtesy of finishing in the two places behind the Reds, as though they had won a trophy themselves.
