The Reds avoided a fifth successive defeat with a five‑goal rout of Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night in what was an impressive performance from Arne Slot’s side, who gelled well together for one of the first times this season.
After the Champions League encounter, which brought an end to a four-match losing run, tensions were relieved as many fans believed the club's new signings, such as Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz, would struggle to work together.
Speaking to WhichBookie, Aliadiere believes Liverpool’s failures are like those of PSG, who signed a number of world-class talents such as Mbappe and Messi only to fail to perform on the pitch.
“I compare this Liverpool side to Paris Saint-Germain when they had Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
"You buy all of these superstars, which excite the fans, but does that mean they’re going to gel and work well together?
“The signings are also going to upset Salah. He’s the main guy at Liverpool, and they’ve done everything they can to keep him. He’s broken various records and has been the best winger in the league for some time.
“Bringing in all these new players who want to score goals won’t align with what Salah wants. It was the same at PSG. The team sheet looked great, but it didn’t work. At the moment, whatever Liverpool are doing isn’t working, and they’re struggling."
Ekitike flourished against his former club, whilst Wirtz bagged two assists throughout the game. Aliadiere believes the squad needs time to prove themselves and the title is not out of reach if they pick up form.
“Intelligent players and great players can work together, and it’ll take time, but it’s time they don’t have right now.
"Arsenal and Manchester City are going to keep winning games, and if Liverpool can’t get back on track, they’ll be out of the title race within the next five weeks. Slot must find a way to fix things and keep everyone happy.”
