Liverpool's Women's Super League campaign has been a disaster so far, with the team struggling to find their footing after a tumultuous summer transfer window. The club's decision to sell star player Olivia Smith to Arsenal for £1m left fans wondering how that cash was spent on other acquisitions who have yet to impress.
The latest 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa has sparked concerns among supporters, with some calling for manager Gareth Taylor to go after just 10 league games. The team's lack of creativity and scoring prowess is evident, with the exception of Sweden striker Beata Olsson, who has scored four times in eight WSL games - a tally that accounts for two-thirds of Liverpool's total league goals.
Taylor's approach has been praised by him himself, but it's clear that something needs to change. The team has taken fewer shots than any other WSL side and created only 10 big chances so far this season. Injuries to key players have also been a significant factor, leaving the squad with limited experience.
The upcoming clash against West Ham on Sunday is a crunch match for Liverpool, who sit second-bottom in the league table. If they lose again, it will be tough for fans to sympathize with Taylor's plight. The January transfer window may prove pivotal in turning the team's fortunes around, but will Taylor be given enough time to implement his plans?
Despite the gloomy outlook, some supporters are holding out hope that Taylor can build on this squad and produce a decent season. However, with no automatic relegation places for one season only and the 12th-place side heading into a playoff with the third-placed WSL2 team, perhaps it's time for Liverpool to reassess their long-term strategy and give Taylor the chance to continue building for next season - if they can get a win or two in between.

their transfer window was a total mess, i mean, who sells olivia smith? £1m is barely enough for a decent season let alone win the whole thing and now they're losin games left & right 3-0 at villa? that's just crazy 
i feel bad for gareth taylor tho, he's gotta do somethin' different or else fans are gonna be callin' for his head 
maybe bring in some new blood & players who can actually score goals 
. But you know what? I still have faith in him... he's been saying his approach is working for him, but maybe it's time to listen to the fans and make some changes too 
. It's just so hard to watch a team you love struggling like this 
.
. I mean, come on, 10 games is not exactly a long enough time to turn things around, especially considering the squad's injury woes 
. The team's lack of creativity is a bigger issue than Taylor's tactics - if they can't even score goals, it's hard to see how he can turn that around 
. And what about Beata Olsson, who's carrying the team on her back? It seems like everyone's piling all their expectations onto one player 
. I think some fans need to calm down and give Taylor a bit more time to figure things out 
.
. And now they're struggling to even score 3 goals at Aston Villa? It's just embarrassing 
. Taylor's got to do something drastic if he wants to save his job, but I doubt it'll be enough. We'll probably see some more transfers in the January window and maybe, just maybe, they'll get their act together... but let's not hold our breath 
. It's time for Liverpool to re-think their strategy, imo 
.
. Taylor's got to do somethin' drastic to turn this around, but at the same time, the January window is gonna be crucial. If they don't make some key signings, it's gonna be a long slog 
. I think Taylor needs a bit more leeway, though... 10 games in and already he's gettin' the axe talk? It's too early to write him off just yet 
️.
I'm so bummed out about Liverpool's Women's Super League campaign right now... £1m for Olivia Smith was such a waste, IMO. 
Gareth Taylor's tactics seem to be the issue here... it's all about quantity over quality. 
And let's not forget the injuries... that's just a recipe for disaster. 
. It's time for Liverpool to be honest with themselves - do they really want to keep Gareth Taylor or are they just holding on to hope? Sometimes you gotta let go of what's not working and try something new 
.
and btw i think taylor's got this, he just needs some breathing room to make changes 
️. Beata Olsson is doing her best with what she has, but we need more creativity and scoring power on the pitch 
. Maybe a win against West Ham will be just the boost they need 
. january transfer window cant come soon enough
