Heart-breaking, late Premier League defeats at Crystal Palace and Chelsea, sandwiched between a disappointing Champions League reverse at Galatasaray, means Arne Slot has been left to mull over losing three successive games for the first time as Reds boss.The silver lining is that the Galatasaray loss was not damaging and, while Arsenal may have moved top of the Premier League table, the defending champions, after a difficult run of fixtures to start the season, and after a challenging summer, remain just one point off the pace.But perhaps the international break has come at the right time for Slot and his players. But what do our Liverpool fans' jury think?READ MORE: Florian Wirtz has already told Liverpool where to play him as he makes 'sad' claim about transferAndrew CullenThe mini wobble continues.

He looks a little lost, and he has lost the ability to finish in recent games. That’s one of the striking omissions from Salah’s games this year: he doesn’t seem to be working back or pressing as much.Another star Liverpool player who is underperforming at the moment is Alexis Mac Allister.

He has been a diamond in the team for so long, but he looks tired, or even injured, to the extent that he has been a passenger in games.I have never considered that Curtis Jones is a top midfielder, or a midfielder who should be in the line up each week, but what he will give the team is hard work and pressing.Together with Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch, I wonder whether this combination as a short-term fix may make us a bit more defensively stable. We had all hoped that Ibrahima Konate would return to his previous heights, but if anything, he looks to be shrinking in performance.Arne Slot needs to get the team alchemy right, and he needs to do it soon.James NobleThis is one of those international breaks that potentially comes at a good time for Liverpool.
