Nothing about Liverpool's 2025-26 season has made much sense.
Two weeks ago, the Reds were perfect atop the Premier League table, already odds-on favorites to win the league before the calendar even flipped to October. They had a five-point lead over second place -- something that had only ever happened one other time in league history that early into the season.
And yet, no one really felt that great about it. They'd won four of the five league games with goals in the 80th minute or later, and they'd won their Champions League and Carabao Cup matches with goals in the 92nd and 85th, respectively.
