The Numbers Don’t Lie – Liverpool’s Worrying Record

7 Apr

Since their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in March 2025, the numbers surrounding Liverpool FC make for concerning reading.

In 58 matches since that game, Liverpool have:

Won 29 Drawn 9 Lost 20 Scored 106 goals Conceded 79 goals

On the surface, it might not look disastrous — but when you break it down, it tells a worrying story.

Too Many Defeats

Losing 20 out of 58 games is not the level expected at a club like Liverpool.

That’s more than one defeat in every three games, which is far from the standards set in previous years.

For a team expected to challenge at the top level, that simply isn’t good enough.

Goals Scored – But At What Cost?

Scoring 106 goals shows Liverpool still have attacking quality.

But conceding 79 goals highlights a major issue — defensive instability.

It suggests a team that can score goals, but:

Struggles to control games Leaves itself open Makes too many defensive mistakes Lacks consistency

A Team Without Balance

These numbers point towards a team that is unbalanced.

Liverpool are:

Capable going forward Vulnerable at the back Inconsistent in results Struggling to put runs together

That lack of balance is often what separates good teams from great ones.

A Long-Term Problem

The worrying part is that this isn’t just a short bad run — it’s over 58 games.

That’s a large sample size, and it suggests deeper issues rather than just poor form.

Whether it’s:

Tactical setup Player performances Squad balance Mentality Or a combination of everything

Something clearly hasn’t been right for a while.

Big Questions Going Forward

These numbers raise big questions for Arne Slot and the club:

Why are Liverpool losing so many games? Why are they conceding so many goals? Why can’t they find consistency? What needs to change?

Because at a club like Liverpool, these standards simply aren’t acceptable over such a long period.

The Reality

Stats don’t always tell the full story — but sometimes they highlight the truth.

And the truth here is simple:

Liverpool have not been good enough consistently since that PSG defeat.
