Losing for the first time in a calendar year, in August, would be a blip for any team, but forLiverpool there is a feeling that it is more worrying than that.
The Reds' loss at Manchester United on Monday left them without a victory so far this season, as their opponents have leapfrogged them in the table.
It is a new place for the man. A total of just two points from nine games leaves them five points behind defending champion Manchester City and seven adrift of the leaders.
Jamie Carragher said that it feels big at this point.
They need to get themselves back on track and not think about City. The start was really bad. They set high standards, but they are a million miles away from where they need to be.
It has to be fixed quickly.
The Reds had 17 shots on goal and five on target, which was one more than Manchester United, and they took all three points.
He said that they should have won the game.
I'm concerned about our situation but that's how it is.
The task is always going to be more difficult because of the poor starts the team has been making.
At the end of last season, they were just one point behind City, thanks to their strong finish.
They had to come from behind in the last few games of the season.
It is the first time in the history of the league that it has happened to the Reds.
Andy Robertson said that they gave every team a goal start. We can't give ourselves a hard time. It needs to be changed.
They wanted something to lift them and we gave them that.
It wasn't the start we wanted. Pick up our performances individually and collectively.
The more games that are played, the less Sadio Mane is available for the Reds.
The absence of Mane's energy and movement in their attack was glaring against Manchester United despite the fact that the Reds had had a lot of injuries.
"He is difficult to replace and it was a big deal when he left," said Chris.
The biggest worry for Carragher is in the middle of the field.
It wasn't until Fabinho was brought on the bench 14 minutes into the second half that the Reds really took control.
There is a huge problem in the middle of the field. The area supporters question constantly and those questions won't go away with this performance.
The bench doesn't have players who can change the game when people talk about injuries.
The next chance for the team to get their season going is at home against Bournemouth.
"We want to fight and play the football that we are able to play," said the coach. There is a good home game on Saturday and we need to be loud. We have to start the fire.
We will fight for our lives.
