Liverpool's crisis is getting increasingly intense, with nine losses in 12 matches, including their third consecutive three-goal defeat at home to PSV, marking a disturbing downward spiral. Former players have become key pundits, offering their analysis - or, in some cases, vitriolic criticism. The likes of Dietmar Hamann and Graeme Souness are leading the charge against the team's current form, with many taking shots at individual players, particularly Mohamed Salah.
Hamann's meltdown on Irish broadcaster RTE was a prime example, with him branding Salah's lack of defensive effort "disgraceful". Meanwhile, former defender Jamie Carragher lashed out at Ibrahima Konaté after his gaffe during the game. Despite attempts to temper expectations, ex-Reds stars continue to pile on the pressure.
In contrast, Steven Gerrard took a more measured approach, noting that Liverpool are conceding too many goals and vulnerable in defense, but also pointed out that their back four is not solid enough. On Match of the Day, Steve McManaman touched on the emotional toll of Diogo Jota's loss, citing the need for perspective to guide the team forward.
For those craving a historical perspective, Jon Millard drew attention to Liverpool's own mid-table woes in 1981-82, where they managed to rally and win several key matches. The situation may not be as dire as that, but the team does have some soul-searching to do.
Football fans from other clubs may also sympathize with Truro City supporters who face grueling away games in National League competitions.
Meanwhile, the Old Trafford redevelopment has sparked a debate about AI-assisted World Cup football. While some worry about the stadium's readiness, others are looking forward to an artist's impression of the new Birmingham City stadium demolition project.

I'm literally shaking with frustration thinking about Liverpool right now!!! 
They're having a meltdown and it's like they're stuck in quicksand! 
Nine losses in 12 matches is just insane, what's going on?! 
And to make matters worse, the former players are at each other's throats... Ibrahima Konaté, Jamie Carragher, Dietmar Hamann... it's like a never-ending soap opera! 
And what's with the criticism of Mohamed Salah?! He's been carrying that team on his back for years, it's time they showed some love! 
I'm seriously rooting for Truro City right now... at least they're not getting creamed by teams like PSV 
And have you seen those AI-assisted World Cup football projections? 
It's wild! But seriously, Liverpool needs a soul-searching session and fast... this downward spiral is getting too intense 
i'm loving steve mcmanaman's approach on match of the day tho, he's right we need to keep things in perspective. i feel bad for diogo jota though 
his loss is like a huge blow to the team. and can we talk about how hamann went off on rte? 
i'm rooting for them to turn it around! 
Their team is going through this really tough time and it's not easy to watch. The criticism from some ex-players is harsh, especially when they're coming from a place of nostalgia and love for the club. I think we need to give them space to figure things out 
. On the other hand, it's inspiring to see fans like Steve McManaman holding on to the bigger picture and reminding us that teams have gone through tough times before 
They're the real heroes here 
, and Jamie Carragher just roasted Konaté 
. The thing is, we've seen this before in history – Liverpool had some mid-table blues back in 82-83 
. But hey, maybe they'll rally like Truro City does against those tough away games 
. And can we talk about AI-assisted football? Is it ready for the World Cup yet? Can't wait to see that Birmingham City stadium demo project – sounds like a football fan's wet dream 
️
!
it's not just about criticism, but actually being constructive in their analysis. and yeah, former players can get carried away 
still, gotta give some credit to steve mcmanaman for putting things into perspective 
... i mean, you'd think they'd've figured it out by now lol. all these ex-players coming back to critique the current squad is just salt in the wound 
. and don't even get me started on carragher's reaction to konaté's gaffe... poor guy just wants some love 
. but seriously, it's not all doom and gloom - remember when liverpool had mid-table woes back in the day? 
.
. Can we just stick with human players for once?
it's easy to get caught up in the drama and forget about the bigger picture. and can we talk about truro city for a second? those guys are basically playing with one hand tied behind their back and people still manage to win matches
