Shearer points out that Liverpool has lost seven of their last 10 games in all competitions, including a recent defeat in the Carabao Cup to Crystal Palace. He emphasizes that consistency is key to winning the title, and Liverpool is far from achieving that this season.

For Liverpool to stay in the title race, they need to pick up points in their upcoming matches against Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Sunderland, Leeds United, and Brighton. If they fail to do so, they may drop out of the running before the Christmas break.

Shearer's comments highlight the challenges facing Liverpool as they try to turn their season around.
