In my opinion, The Fear Factor.
Last time, teams were afraid to play us, and that was already half
the battle won. Nowadays opposition teams are no longer in awe or
show Liverpool the respect we used to command, even at our Fortress
Anfield.
We can probably blame GH for this part. He did a great job winning
us a handful of cups in '01, but since then it has been rather
painful to watch our Beloved Reds in action, with all their
defensive tactics and all.
I strongly believe we already have most of the players we need
(except for maybe 1 more centreback and as jasmine17 says, 1 more
creative midfielder), but they're positioned wrongly in my
opinion!!
Furthermore, perhaps we bought players we really didn't need, and I
have to single the Senegalese pair out. Diouf and Diao are not
worth the money we paid at all. Could have easily strengthened our
defence with that amount of money.
