Why It's Important?

The situation puts pressure on the club to make tactical adjustments and improve team cohesion to avoid further setbacks.
What's Next?

The team will need to regroup and address their tactical issues to improve their performance in these crucial fixtures. The upcoming matches will be critical for Liverpool to regain momentum and confidence.
