Liverpool's stuttering start to the new campaign has seen Jurgen Klopp fail on a major Reds' promise after just a few months.
The Reds have won only two out of their opening eight games of the campaign with the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal on Sunday leaving them languishing in tenth and already 14 points off the pace.
It now appears highly unlikely that the Reds will be able to put together a consistent challenge for just their second Premier League title this season, with Klopp himself having all but conceded that his side are already out of the race.
