Liverpool need to improve their defence to secure a Champions League spot
January 26, 2026
Arne Slot's Liverpool won the Premier League title last season with their best performances. In addition, this transfer window saw the club spend a record amount of money to bring in quality players such as Klopp and Ramp, as well as players who are already well-established in the Premier League such as Issac and Kaka. With such player additions, it was hoped that Arsene Wenger's Liverpool would be able to defend their Premier League title this season, but in reality, they did not live up to their expectations.
As expected, Liverpool will struggle to win the Premier League title again, let alone even qualify for the Champions League. The main reason why Liverpool is struggling this year is largely due to the needs of the defensive line. Fringe, who was the best replacement for Arnold after losing him, has also struggled to adapt to the Premier League and has often suffered from injury problems. In addition, Miloš Kerkez, who has already adapted to the Premier League, has also struggled to regain his true form in place of Robinson, who has reached the end of his age. Van Dijk, who leads the team's defense, has also reached a significant decline this year, so Liverpool's defense has been quite shaky. After 23 games, they have allowed 32 goals and there have been many individual mistakes.
They are currently in 6th place in the Premier League, but they are very close to the teams below them. If they make more mistakes, it will be more difficult to qualify for the Champions League. That's why Arsenal need to overhaul their defence if they are to secure a place in the Champions League. Thank you to everyone who read this to the end.
