The correct comparison is our title defence in 2018/19 when we got 98 points and repeatedKeane's right about them being bad champs.
Last season, we had no decent CB options for 2/3 of the season. Sure we finished well off the pace, but that was to a team that got 99 points.
We got 81 points, won the Community Shield + League Cup, made an FA Cup semi final and a CL quarter final.
This season Liverpool are on track for ~70 points and 0 trophies. They also got battered 7-2 by Aston Villa, and lost at home to Burnley.
It's a big fall from where they were.
