The Reds went down 3-2 at the London Stadium against David Moyes’ West Ham, who have moved into third with the win, while Liverpool have dropped down to fourth.
Remarkably, if Arsenal win at Anfield after the international break then they will go above Liverpool and into the top four, despite their dire start to the season.
Liverpool conceded three goals at Brentford in September to draw, while they drew 2-2 at home against Brighton at the end of last month.
Fans are now starting to show their concern that in a tough league, with Chelsea and Manchester City in good form, Liverpool dropping points does not a title challenge make.
Cole bemoaned the dropped points and is clear Liverpool cannot win the league if they continue to drop crucial points.
PJ Klopps admits that conceding goals against Brighton, Brentford and West Ham does not look like title winning form and is keen for the issues to be addressed over the international break.
Rohan admits he is concerned by a soft defence, while SM is of the view Liverpool are better suited to playing in the Champions League.
NK is also worried by dropped points, but Luke is certain Liverpool will challenge for the title this season.
Strictly Scouse is pointing the finger at owners Fenway Sports Group for not investing in the transfer market, while Marcus feels the players are entirely to blame for the loss at West Ham.
It’s not the end of the world. We’ve lost our 1st game but we really need to sort out our defence and learn to manage games better. Conceding 2+ goals & dropping points to Brighton Brentford and WestHam doesnt scream title winning form. Lets sort it out over the break #lfc #YNWA

We’re better suited to the UCL than the PL this season that’s for sure but don’t write us off in the league yet. #LFC

The frustrating thing is THIS is meant to be our glory years, under the worlds best manager.
Yet we have owners holding us back with their lack of investment.
We should be winning leagues year in year out NOW.
This ‘glory’ period wont last and ends the day Klopp leaves. #LFC— THE UN6EARA19LES (@Strictly_Scouse) November 7, 2021
There’s always a danger of overreaction after any defeat, especially after 25 undefeated.
BUT I think some concern is warranted.
Brighton, Brentford & West Ham (not to mention, City and Atletico) have all waltzed in behind us at will. That can NOT be anything but a worry #LFC

#LFC The most annoying thing about losing today’s game is that if we play anywhere near the level that we all know we can then we win that game all day long! The players have let themselves down badly today, lazy complacent football!

I do think a bit of perspective is needed with Liverpool fans (as usual). We’re 11 games in, we’ve played poorly in the last 2 games. We’ll get back to winning and we’ll challenge for the title. Guaranteed. #LFC

A simple game to win with our talent, yet we flopped again!
We can’t keep dropping points in this manner with certain teams performing the way they are this season!
A long way to go yet but we gotta keep winning if we want to challenge for the tittle! #LFC

If we hadn’t of drawn to Brighton and Brentford and city where we could’ve seen the game out we would be 6 points better off and today’s loss wouldn’t of been so bad. But no. We keep dropping points. We can’t win the league like this.#LFC
