What can Liverpool do to rescue their season and return to playing the quality of football which made them runaway winners last season?
I have been speaking with an expert psychologist this week and one thing emerges more than any other.
There is nothing wrong with the team and nothing wrong with Jurgen Klopp.
It is all down to confidence.
They are losing regularly because of a psychological barrier which prevents them from playing to their strengths.
There are 92 clubs in the four divisions of top-tier English football.
Up until last week Liverpool ranked 92nd on form.
Six defeats out of seven matches left them totally demoralised and suffering from a lack of confidence.
The one hope which will help them regain their previous form, according to my specialist psychologist is motivation and their successful run in the Champions League is the thread of light in their current dark tunnel.
RB Leipzig are a competent team but they were soundly removed from the competition by a Liverpool side which threw off their shackles and released them from their Premier League nightmare.
The Champions League is where Jurgen Klopp can rebuild their confidence and make a difference according to my expert psychologist.
