For honest replies. Score out of 100.

The season stops now! Or say after Sunday's game.

How would you rate it? Out of 100.

Take into account DJ20 RIP.

Take into account the outgoing players.

Take into account the players we bought.

My overall level of disappointment and frustration is that I could only score the club as a whole a 25/100.

That is purely because of the potential we do actually still have for a new manager.

We are all clutching at straws all the time on here. If this happens, if that happens, this players not good enough for us and so on. Fact is we are exactly where ought to be. So 25-100 for me and only that based on the potential for next season. This season has set us back to the Klopp getting 4th place when Alison scored against WBA.



15 Mar 2026 12:11:31
To paraphrase another former Liverpool manager, in reference to today's opposition, ironically, when you spend that sort of money you should be winning titles. Season has been an absolute failure. 0/100.



15 Mar 2026 12:25:01
End of the game week, we could, things going our way, end up sitting in 3rd position. If the season ended there, I’d say it’s a 55/100 season.
Reasons:
1) We walked the league last season and invested big money, it’s just not good enough.
2) The players (on paper) are very good players, as are the new additions.
3) Are we really that much worse than Arsenal and City? The quality of the league right now is abysmal and we’re miles off them. Whoever wins the title this season will go down as one of the 'weakest' title winners in the Premier League era.


4) Style of football and tactics are woeful and not at all suited to the players we had and have brought in.
5) Slot would still be here.
6) The vibe around the club seems awful; nobody looks happy, nobody looks like they enjoy playing.

Positives:
1) Getting CL would give the next manager more to play with; we’re too big a club to not be in it.
2) The squad, at its core, is good. I don’t think, under a better manager, the team is miles off. A few additions and a proper playing style that suits us and we’ll steamroll.



15 Mar 2026 12:26:42
Genuinely a 10/100. The only positive, really, is the new kit; it is boss looking. Performances have been on the floor the entire season. Very few moments of joy in footballing terms, and a team of lads who look uninterested in playing for a manager who doesn't look like he has a clue.



15 Mar 2026 12:34:08
The results have been poor.
The performances have been even worse.
The tactics seem non-existent.
The energy & pressing appear to have disappeared.
We are boring and predictably slow to watch.
If the season finished now, with us 22 points behind the leaders & just scraping into a CL spot with 500mil spent, it would probably be 10-100, and that’s generous due to CL spot.



15 Mar 2026 12:37:39
A 100 scale, eh? You heathen.

Entertainment (for the fan): 2/10.
Coaching (performance): 4/10.
Recruitment (performance): 5/10.
Players (performance): 4/10.

Season score (in your 100 scale): 37/100.



15 Mar 2026 12:45:11
Really, Victor? How much would you have rated it if we got relegated?
I'd say it has been 70/100. We fell well short of our potential, and a lot of the football was less exciting than watching concrete set, but there were still some highlights. Plus, we have 2 cups and a battle for European placings on so every game is still competitive.



15 Mar 2026 13:25:04
What highlights are those, Darwin? Losing to United & Forest at home? Getting battered 4-1 by PSV?

As for the 'everything to play for' schtick, well, our next game in the FA Cup is against City, who have beaten us comfortably twice this season and are more likely than not to batter us again at their place given how woeful we are.

In the Champions League, Galatasaray will more than fancy their chances against us, as they've comfortably beaten us twice this season, and since Anfield is more like a playground for opponents than a fortress for us (thanks, Arne, for normalising not winning at home. That's proper Roy Hodgson stuff), it feels like it is only going to go one way given how weak we are in midfield and defence and that Slot has no answers.



We're relying on snookers to get Champions League football next season, and we're incapable of winning consistently and certainly incapable of playing well.

70 out of 100 would be justified if we were in the top four comfortably, had a good chance of progressing and winning the Champions League, and were largely playing well. But none of those things are true. So 0 is perfectly reasonable given we were champions last season and spunked over £400m. This season is an absolute failure and nothing changes that.



15 Mar 2026 13:42:18
I rate it based on the excitement I have when I watched the team play.
Klopp's time: almost always 80 and above, even in the worst season.
Slot's first season, truth be told, I enjoyed because we won, not because of how we played. Putting the title aside, it would have been 65. Of course, the title changes the story.
This season, it is such a pain watching the team play, and especially so after spending all the money. All the players are disappointing, and for different reasons.
Frimpong - injuries.
Kerkez - didn't settle and had only 1 good game so far, and came in for Robbo way too soon.
Wirtz - compared to Suarez, Diaz, Torres, Salah... the kind of impact these players made, and the kind Wirtz has made is nothing short of underwhelming.
Ekitike - a lot of good things said about him, but I would say, at least so far, he is not good enough.
Rio (considered new) - strangely overlooked way too often.

So, 10 out of 100?
10 out of love, and not performance.



15 Mar 2026 13:53:23
Getting off track. Talking about what may happen in games we haven't played.
Season ends now?

By the way, 5th place is unlikely to be a CL place. So, 7.30 tonite cut off point. Whoever gave 70-100 nuts is totally nuts.



15 Mar 2026 14:49:08
1 performance I've enjoyed, but it made me mad to think why not like that all the time?



15 Mar 2026 15:08:52
Up to this point: 6/10, or 60/100, given everything that changed in the summer. It could easily go up to a 70 if they progress deeper in the cups and finish 3rd.



15 Mar 2026 15:24:37
Think I'm closer to Pete.

0/100 = relegation and no trophies.
100/100 = quadruple

Based on that scale, I'd say it's just about average. 50/100.

Win the CL and it would go to 75/100. Champions of Europe doesn't happen too often. It would be the only thing which would move the dial for me.
Win the FA Cup and I could call above average at 55/100.



15 Mar 2026 15:56:50
This has been a very bad season. Death of Jota, Trent and Diaz leaving, Giovanni's injury, not signing Guehi or Semedo, Slot not being able to use Salah at full strength, Wirtz's slow start and Isak's injury, bad form after a good start, Salah and Slot fighting, Konate and Salah out of form, and not signing a player in the last transfer window.



0/100 score for this season without counting our table position and cup form.



15 Mar 2026 16:18:33
Quite a good summation, VakPa.



15 Mar 2026 16:28:08
Did Galatasaray and City beat us twice comfortably? I must have missed those games. The 3-0 against City was a comfortable game for them; the second we somehow conspired to throw away. Galatasaray in the league stages won a dodgy penalty, put everybody behind the ball, and then somehow we failed to score.

Second game against Gala, very tough game in a very tough stadium. We should have gone ahead comfortably in the first 15 mins; they got the customary set piece goal and then started lumping it long the rest of the game.

We huffed and puffed, but I'd say overall the game was very poor from both sides, and they certainly weren't incredibly impressive. Their tactic involves sticking it long to Osimhen, and they are a much better side at home with their fans. Away leg, they have no fans at Anfield, surely you aren't pessimistic enough to think they'll have an easy time?



15 Mar 2026 16:32:42
I like Ron's rational. Agreed 50/100. The only way is up!



15 Mar 2026 17:24:45
I like this question. Lots of subjectivity, and I like hearing justification of people's scores.

For me, 50/100 is the max that makes sense: we've been poor in every area, and the reason it can't be higher is that the least expected was CL qualification, and at this point, we just make the cut.

Given how boring, weak, and unfit we've become, and the fact these were all unforced errors that have been obvious to most of us all season, and nothing has changed? I rate us even lower.

The only positives this year have been the signing of Kerkez, Ekitike, and Wirtz, as they're the only signings who actually improve us. For that alone, I give us 20/100. I'll also give 2 points to Szobo becoming a set piece specialist.

22/100 (currently, assuming CL next year).



15 Mar 2026 18:36:23
34/100.



15 Mar 2026 18:37:22
Close to Zero, closer to relegation zone than the league leaders. An absolute catastrophe, and the higher ups should have pulled the trigger months ago. Over soon at least.



15 Mar 2026 19:06:25
We've played a full 90s well once all season, and that was against Madrid. 25% seems right. Awful.



15 Mar 2026 19:18:53
I think 0/100 is very fair after today's latest offering. Anyone harbouring any thoughts that we'll get through on Wednesday if Slot is still in post is either delusional or insane. Take your pick which.



15 Mar 2026 19:25:28
Not taking it apart bit by not as you've given criteria, bit I will score based on expectation Vs reality.
We have an immensely talented squad that have proven last season they are capable of performing at the top level of domestic and European football. We strengthened that team (IMO) by purchasing some of the top performing players doemstically and from Europe.
Expectation - Perform as deserved favourites for the league and perform at a high level in the CL. Play fast paced, exciting & attacking football. Everything we needed was in place to restart another period of excellence, and dare I say it, with Slot mixing his 'controlled style with that of Klopp's energetic one, a period of actual continued dominance.
Reality - Klopp's energetic style, which was slowly on the way out in the title winning season, was fully abandoned. Our new 'total football' style does not suit the physicality of the league and offers no excitement or entertainment. We faltered quickly in the league despite early warning signs that this new adopted style was not going to work, yet persisted with it. Our manager, only months prior lauded for his ability to adapt and communicate effectively forgot to adapt to anything and communicated by admonishing his own youth players and making rubbish excuses in press conferences. Coaching must also be questioned as Players have lost fitness and cannot see out matches regardless of the caliber of opponent.

Score - 10/100 - Utter disappointment on all fronts. I genuinely feel all the work Klopp put into building out identity has been eroded in the last 18 months and the confidence of all the players has nosedived as a result. I am so fearful that if this isn't turned around we will sleepwalk our way back into 'also rans' obscurity like we were for so many years. Despite the signs being very clear we are on the downward trajectory, no one at the club seems to be doing anything about it, so I am also concerned about the clubs hierarchy being capable and/or competent to make difficult decisions.
Literally the only 2 positive things I have to say about this season. First is that we are still in with a chance of CL football next season, so the (hopefully new) manager will retain financial backing and the draw of the club to do his thing. Second is that some of our youth look alright. Rio looks a talent, Nyoni needs to bulk up but clear potential there, Jaquet looks alright.

That's about it. This entire season has been a disappointing underperformance and a boring repeat of Brendan Rodgers latter years where he earned a first class Masters degree in coaching sideways pass coaching, except this time there is no Klopp available to work his magic in putting that right. My score is not just about the season itself, it's about fear of if this is the start of a downward trajectory.



15 Mar 2026 20:12:44
Every match the score gets lower and lower.



15 Mar 2026 21:27:17
Szob, Rio, Allison (Liverpool MOM) and Salah. Everyone else is awful.

In the summer, I hope we sell Macallister and Gravenberch to the bench. I don't know what they offer the team.



15 Mar 2026 22:25:46
I'd say 35/100 Only because we're still in with potential to get CL for next season, but in reality that's mostly due to the quality of the league as a whole.

Miss out on CL and we're no higher than 10/100.

Very few highlights.

Biggest disappointments for me:

- The lack of action in removing Slot at the turn of the year (that would've been long enough to allow him "time" on good faith for the title last season).



- Edwards/Hughes' total ineptitude in getting us a balanced squad, or at the very least one more CB. Not that hard to ask.
