Liverpool's summer signings have experienced a mixed start to their Anfield careers, with 10 new arrivals including two British record transfers. The Reds won their opening seven games across all competitions after losing the Community Shield to Crystal Palace on penalties, but a run of three consecutive defeats has raised questions.
Jeremie Frimpong scored on his debut against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield but suffered a hamstring injury on his Premier League debut. He has since been in and out of the starting lineup and faced criticism for his role in Crystal Palace’s winning goal.
Young goalkeeper Levente Pecsi joined from Puskas Akademia for up to £1.5m and is fourth-choice, yet to feature in a competitive first-team squad. He impressed in pre-season against Athletic Bilbao and has been an ever-present for the Under-21s.
Florian Wirtz, a £116m signing, assisted on his debut but has not recorded a goal or assist in the Premier League or Champions League. His best performance came against Atletico Madrid, showing signs of a partnership with Alexander Isak, but he was later dropped to the bench.
Milos Kerkez has made the most appearances among new arrivals but endured a difficult start, being withdrawn early on his Premier League debut and criticised for his role in Bruno Guimaraes' goal. He improved against Arsenal.
