Oh no. What's going with the World and Premier League Champs?

A good 20 minutes left... plenty time to get a shot on target

It really was...results against the bottom 6 is absolutely shocking

Fair play to Brighton a first win in Anfield for nearly 40 years and a happy return to Anfield for Adam Lallana.

That's the PL gone, let's just hope we can get injuries all sorted to salvage a CL place

Didn't deserve anything out of that.

Repeat of Burnley and WBA. Pack the box with big men, put your midfielders on the edge, and watch Liverpool slowly go back and forth around the D, ending up hitting hopeful, nothing passes onto the heads of the centre backs or in to the keeper. Then hope to snatch a goal at the other end.

Only thing the City game matters for now is getting top 4.

Because there are going to be plenty more teams coming to Anfield to do the same.

Why are we performing so badly against bad teams and so well against good teams. The win against city is guaranteed. It will come too late to save Liverpools title challege.

Cause they come out and play against us and just don't camp themselves on the edge of their box

No one in the team to speed things up and run at the opposition with a few one-twos to get between the lines and play it through the gaps.

Keita the fragile f**ker would help, but when is he ever fit?
Ox is not good enough.

Takes a great team to successfully defend their title in the premier league these days

Looks like Liverpool's time back on the perch will be shortlived!

Brighton executed that game plan perfectly, and up against a patched up defense there is always a good chance something will drop for them at the other end. (saying that I thought Henderson was Liverpools best player)
The crazy thing is, if Salah takes that chance at the start , Liverpool probably win that game 3-0.
A combination of a core group of players constantly flat out for around 3 years now along with an incredible run of injures has really taken its toll. Hard to know what the solution is though

It's pretty obvious the last 2-3 years of exceptional football is catching up on them. Champions League Finals, massive points totals in the league and of course wining the league. To expect them to keep doing it with practically the same group of players is unreasonable.
Throw in what seems like a different long term injury every week to a different player then it really has been an uphill battle this season.
I think if they can scrape a Top 4 finish, refresh the squad with a few players in the summer, get VVD back,then there is no reason IMO why they won't be back competing at the top again next season.
There is still the Champions League this season also so hopefully a good run in that also but that will be difficult. Top 4 is essential though. As bad as we have been we are still only 4 points off 2nd which is crazy considering the injury list at the club.
