League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 38.1% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 26 of 42. The side averaged 1.55 goals scored and 1.45 conceded per match; the resulting +4 goal difference gives more context to the 11th finish than position alone.
Compared with 1946–47, the recorded league position fell by 10 places, while goal difference moved from +32 to +4.
Place in Liverpool’s wider history
This season belongs to the wartime transition or early post-war era, when Liverpool rebuilt its competitive programme and then tried to sustain the 1947 championship side.
