A crucial few months coming up for the Merseyside club.
Liverpool now sit seven points out of the Champions League race, have a club captain suspended, are losing defenders to bans and cannot get either Raheem Sterling or Jordan Henderson to sign new contracts.
It was only this time last year that they were pushing Manchester City to the brink in pursuit of their first league title in 23 years.
RTE pundit Eamon Dunphy believes the Reds are on a downward slump following the highs of 2013/14.
He told 2FM's Game On, 'Brendan Rodgers has done it quite well, you can argue either way, but it looks to me like Liverpool's fate is to now become a club in mid-table that sells its best players and won't really go to war in the summer, in the way that Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea will to buy in big talent.'
Dunphy professes to be a fan of the club, their history and fans but feels they may have peaked last season. He does not see the club's American owners making big investments in players any time soon.
He said, 'Liverpool is one of the great football clubs in the world but it just doesn't have the [financial] muscle or the talent at the moment to contend.
'You can only see Manchester United going one way, which is forward, but you can't see Liverpool going forward on the same trajectory.'
