Liverpool's woes continued after slumping to a 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Reds moved up to seventh place with the forgettable draw which showed how far Jurgen Klopp's men have to go in their search to rediscover their world-class form. Off the pitch, it's not much more exciting for Liverpool supporters, with owners Fenway Sports group confirming that they aren't seeking a full sale of the club before Tuesday's humiliating 5-2 loss to Real Madrid.
Klopp's spending will be further limited in the Reds fail to qualify for the Champions League, while failing to make the top four would also almost certainly put them out of the race to sign top transfer target Jude Bellingham. First on the priority list, however, is getting their own players in order.
