Fair to say, if Arne Slot's side are to keep their Champions League dreams alive, they require something of a miracle, 2-0 down against Paris Saint-Germain from the first leg in the French capital. This was Liverpool's 16th defeat of the season, and counting, beaten four times in the Champions League, a whopping ten times in the Premier League as well as being dumped out of both domestic cups.

So, where does this rank among Liverpool's worst-ever seasons in terms of number of defeats?Liverpool's most defeats in a season (1964-present)SeasonMatchesLeague defeatsTotal defeats1992/935515202004/056014192009/105611192014/155812181993/944916181998/994814182010/115414171991/926410162002/036010162006/075810162025/265010161984/85639152011/12511415This season is only the 13th time since the 1964/64 campaign that Liverpool have suffered 15 or more defeats across all competitions. The Reds' record number of defeats during this time frame came in 1992/93, again finishing sixth and again Graeme Souness would lose his job soon after.

Well, were Liverpool to repeat '93 and 2015 by finishing sixth, they would almost certainly miss out on Champions League qualification and the Dutchman would surely pay the price. This was none more so the case than in Rafa Benítez's first year, suffering 19 defeats all told, including 14 in the Premier League, albeit no one remembers that part, given that they pulled off the most astonishing comeback in Champions League Final history to defeat AC Milan in İstanbul of course.
