Robbie Fowler believes the mental toll of last season's exertions is impacting Liverpool's form but says the ongoing uncertainty over Fenway Sports Group's ownership cannot be used as an excuse.
The Reds played every game possible last term as they became just the fourth team to win both domestic cups in the same season before losing in the Champions League final to Real Madrid less than a week after finishing their Premier League campaign as runners-up with 92 points.
In total Jurgen Klopp's side played 63 games and have seen their levels drop dramatically this term after missing out narrowly on being the first club to win the quadruple. The Reds currently sit ninth in the table and are 10 points behind Manchester United, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League place.
