Liverpool's Women's Super League (WSL) campaign has taken a worrying turn in recent weeks, sparking concern among fans that their team may struggle to avoid relegation. After just 10 league games, the pressure is mounting on manager Gareth Taylor and his coaching staff, who have yet to deliver the results they had promised.
The club's poor start to the season is not entirely surprising, given the challenges they faced in the close of pre-season preparations without a permanent manager for nearly six months. However, with Liverpool as keen as ever to bring about change and adopt a new playing style, it was expected that Taylor would be able to lead his team to victory.
Instead, the reality has been one of meager results, with Liverpool failing to score a single shot on target in their last two games. The lack of progress is evident in their current position at the bottom of the table, where they are just six points from the relegation zone.
The squad's youth and inexperience have also become apparent, particularly when compared to other top-flight teams. With an average age of 25 years and 295 days among starting lineups, Liverpool can't help but look up at more established clubs like West Ham United, who boast a higher average age.
Taylor's optimism about the potential for his team to turn their season around is commendable, but it will require significant improvement in order to achieve that goal. The upcoming match against second-bottom West Ham on Sunday offers an opportunity for the team to earn a crucial win and boost morale, while also serving as a vital testing ground for Taylor's tactics.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will stick with Taylor or explore alternative options if their situation doesn't improve sooner rather than later.

i think the lack of a permanent manager for ages really took its toll on them, but still gotta trust gareth taylor he's got the right ideas and all... 
i mean it's easy to see why fans are worried tho, six points from relegation zone is crazy! 
but like, west ham vs lfc this sunday could be a game-changer... if they can get some results going, maybe they can shake off that strugglin' feeling 
fingers crossed!
i remember watching man utd's team back in 2006 and they were struggling just like liverpool now 
the thing is, gareth taylor has some big shoes to fill replacing sam erickson, but still, it's a shame to see them having such a tough time this season 
my heart goes out to their fans who are probably going through all the emotions 
I mean, i get that Taylor is trying to change things up and all, but 6 points from relegation zone is just crazy 
. The squad's young and inexperienced, so it's hard to blame them, but still... 
West Ham is gonna be a tough one on Sunday tho 
gotta see if they can turn their season around or not 
The competition is getting fiercer and I'm excited to see how teams like Liverpool will bounce back from a tough start 
The squad's youth is actually a strength in disguise – they've got that fresh energy to turn the game around 
! Fingers crossed for Liverpool against West Ham this weekend 
. Gareth Taylor has been saying they'll adopt a new playing style, but so far, it's all talk and no action 
. The squad is still young and inexperienced, and I think we need to see some major changes ASAP 
. West Ham is coming up next, let's hope Taylor can bring his A-game 
. If they don't start winning soon, I think the board will have to take a hard look at making some moves 
. Can they turn this season around? 
i feel bad for gareth taylor tho he sounds so confident about turnin this season around but we'll see if he can deliver 
the west ham game on sunday is gonna be super interestin to watch
