At the halfway point of the season, Liverpool have 33 points from 19 games and sit in fourth.
Gven the dismal run they went on earlier this season, that suggests things are heading in the right direction, but this was another uninspiring performance in large parts. Liverpool desperately lack urgency.
Arne Slot's side kept the ball well but struggled to break through a Leeds side who set up well defensively. At times, it felt like Liverpool were waiting for something to happen rather than trying to make things happen.
Bar the Hugo Ekitike chance, they hardly created anything of note and it was a tepid start to the new year for those at Anfield.
This is a crowd that has got so used to seeing entertaining football over the past decade, but the fact there were some boos at full-time summed it up.
In recent weeks, Liverpool have found a way to get results despite average performances but here it was Leeds who very nearly got the winner when Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal was ruled out for offside.
At the very least, Slot can take positives from the fact his side kept a clean sheet.
It was their first 0-0 draw in 117 matches - since December 2023 against Manchester United.
