That's because Liam had given in to his animal side on the full-moon which makes werewolves even stronger. While Scott was trying to focus most of his power on not giving in to his animal side making him weak even on a full moon. I still think he should've at least did an alpha roar to stop Liam like Derek did to Isaac.

I'm tired of making excuses for Scott's weakness. This week its, it was the full moon, he couldn't concentrate. Last week it was, he didn't have a pack yet. Before that it was he was holding back to avoid becoming Peter. Before that it was another thing. I'm so sick of it. The only excuse for Season 1, 2, and 3A was that Scott was going up against stronger creatures, and blaming him for being pack-less is utterly stupid. Back in Season 2, we saw Derek lift a 20 tonne Bulldozer whilst being pack-less, so it's safe to assume that an Alpha that has similar mass, height and weight as Derek would be able to accomplish similar feats of strength.

The reason Scott's been profoundly weak past season is becasuse he's subconsciously holding himself back and, like you said, avoiding himself from becoming like Peter.

(Pure speculation) I'm assuming a base True Alpha like Scott, would have similar strength levels to Ennis (when he isn't holding back), the fact being that he collided with Ennis head-on and seemed to match his strength, even though he was slightly smaller than the large Alpha. I never said anything about seasons 1 2 or 3a. Those were some of Scott's greatest hits, particularly 1 and 2. I especially liked that many of his wins came from outthinking superior opponents.

Why in gods name would Scott hold back? He's literally in a fight for his life (or his friends and loved ones lives against often supernatural, sometimes not even 'human' foes(I'm looking at you Oni).

There is no reason for him to hold back. And its unrealistic to think he could/would.

However there is another out of universe explanation. More below
