Liverpool finished the season at a limp and just about squeezed into Champions League football with a draw on the final day against Brentford. The two points in the final four games led to the sacking of Arne Slot and meant that there were a majority of Liverpool’s players entering the World Cup either with a lack of form or outside of their national squads.
