I think what a lot fail to realize is the fact that the Pathfinder team arent actually under the Pathfinders orders per say. Its not an alliance military team its a civilian one. They are expected to assist the Pathfinder when asked but outside of that, they have their own asigned tasks to perform without having to run and ask permission to do it. They are supposed to just do it and then request back-up from the other team members when its needed.
Its a big difference to an alliance military ship and crew like the Normandy was. Even a big difference to the SR2 when all crew where specifically told to follow Shepards orders.
Each member of the Pathfinding team had a set job already assigned to them to just do when not required by the Pathfinder his/herself and there is the difference. Sara didn't have to contact her Dad to ask permission to scout once they landed on the planet she was just expected to do her job.
Believe it or not, Liam was just doing his job, forging relationships with species and between colonies and used his own judgment on how best to achieve that. He also wasn't wrong, his instincts about those people were correct. The pirates timing was just bad luck, one didn't have anything to do with the other he just thought it was possible, so went to his team for backup feeling it was needed at that point in time. In doing so he further cemented those alliances as well.
Actually, they are.

That is made pretty clear by Cora as (Surprise) Lima says that the Team "calls the shots" and she responded "Actually the Pathfinder calls the shots, just to be clear."
There are also other occasions were it is made clear that the Pathfinder de facto is the commanding officer of the Pathfinder-team and while the AI is in fact civilian, there is also a clear chain of command inside a civilian organisation, it has to be, especially considering the situation they are in.
All my problems with Liam are already summarized by @mcsupersport so I leave it there to just say that I also miss the opportunity tell him what I really think about his actions.
That is in fact one of my greatest points of criticism at MEA, that I often can't react the way I want to react when it comes to crewmembers. Same with Drack later on as I saved the Salarian Pathfinder.
I have one HUGE like, bordering love, when it comes to Liam:
When he is getting pummeled by Kett or pretty much anyone else that wants to kill him, while I stand by the Nomad and just watch. Ahhhh... that bubbles up a wellspring of joy in my heart.
