Liverpool's struggles under Arne Slot have been laid bare, with Premier League legend Wayne Rooney delivering a scathing assessment of the team's performance against Chelsea. Speaking on BBC's Match of the Day, Rooney didn't hold back, claiming the Reds have "no identity" and that the players look disinterested on the pitch.

"They haven't got an identity in how they play," Rooney said. "The players don't look like they're interested in playing for the team, and the fans are seeing that now." He went on to note that while Liverpool supporters are typically patient with their squad and manager, that patience is wearing thin. "I think they are starting to lose their patience," he added, highlighting a growing sense of frustration at Anfield.

The criticism didn't stop there. Former Premier League defender Ashley Williams also weighed in, pointing to the club's summer overhaul as a key issue. "They made a lot of changes in the summer, and it's taken a long time to integrate them," Williams explained. "But going forward, I'm not sure which of these players Arne Slot will try to build his team around and who are his core players. At the minute, I don't see where they are going."

For Liverpool fans, the lack of direction is a worrying shift from the high-energy, attacking football that defined the club's recent golden era. With the team struggling to find its footing, the question now is whether Slot can rediscover the identity that once made Liverpool one of the most feared sides in Europe—or if the club is heading for a longer rebuild than anticipated.
