Reds manager Brendan Rodgers saw Raheem Sterling leave for Manchester City this summer, while captain Steven Gerrard joined LA Galaxy, 12 months after Luis Suarez moved to Barcelona.
Those three high-profile departures have left the club with a squad lacking the star names of old and Redknapp fears they could be in for a long and difficult season.
"I said I thought this is the worst Liverpool team in 10 years," the former QPR boss told BT Sport. "They lost Gerrard and these are important, very players.
"It's not all down to Brendan. He could do nothing about Raheem Sterling or Luis Suarez leaving or Daniel Sturridge being injured. It's a difficult time for him."
On Liverpool's start to the season he added: "They're fortunate to have the amount of points they have. The Bournemouth game was a good example. They should never have won that.
"They were also fortunate at Stoke. They're not playing particularly well at the moment."
Liverpool drew 1-1 with Bordeaux in their opening Europa League game on Thursday night and will thus be hoping to get back to winning ways when they host Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday.
