Liverpool first-team coach Steve Clarke believes the overhaul of the playing staff in the summer has contributed to the Reds underwhelming start to the campaign. Liverpool have 10 points from six matches having already lost at Stoke and Tottenham.
Owners Fenway Sports Group, overseen by boss Kenny Dalglish signed seven players in the summer with numerous others heading in the opposite direction.
"Without getting too carried away or too disappointed it's probably just an average start," said Clarke.
"You're probably looking at about a seven out of 10. Some pleasing performances and some not so pleasing, but you'd expect that from a group of players where you've made so many changes and you're trying to bed a few things down."
