'Jurgen Klopp has no excuse for defeat despite shocking truth about 19 Liverpool players'
The most notable incident in the first half was the quickness with which the Forest support launched into the familiar abusive tropes Liverpool fans are seemingly having to hear every week right now with regards to the Hillsborough tragedy. The match was only five minutes old when they resorted to telling their counterparts that it was 'never their fault' - a cruel jibe with inherent links to the disaster that took the lives of 97 Liverpool fans.
What was most galling is the fact that it could quite so easily have been the Forest fans in the Leppings Lane end back in April 1989. If this particular set of supporters cannot abstain from such disgusting terrace activity then what chance have Reds' followers got of avoiding this issue up and down the country every week? Only lip-service is being paid to calling this behaviour out beyond the Anfield bubble. More needs to be done by English football's authorities.
