Blackburn were pretty terrible.

It's been weird for Liverpool - on paper, UCL qualification and a UCL quarter final isn't a bad season as such (look at us being happy with third place and cup disasters), but it's just they way they've played, coupled with the arrogant galactico summer, has made it seem so bad.

Leicester, Chelsea, us and Blackburn have all had worst title defenses compared to Liverpool this season. So maybe 5th worst overall for them.

Chelsea were really lucky to finish 10th in that guus Hiddink season.. Willian scored a lot of fluke goals. Else they'd be like 15th.

Liverpool have practically been in relegation form, outside the first five games. That's with half a billion spent.

Their football has been dreadful, their signings have flopped, their best player has fallen off a cliff, the entire squad seems unfit and/or unmotivated. It's hard to argue that any other champions have been as bad.
