Did we really only pay £23m for Gundogan? I forgot about that.

What a mental bargain. That’s genuinely an amazing bit of business.

We took a gamble on someone who'd had awful luck with injuries, to be fair. Liverpool did something similar with Thiago. Our gamble paid off. Their gamble means they're still going into games with Jordan Henderson as their most creative midfielder.

Sky Sports even highlights the farcical decisions — you know it is too obvious to be ignored when even they aren’t trying to bury it.

“Klopp was eager to focus on the positives afterwards. The performance, he said, was "much better" than the one his side produced at the same ground two weeks ago. But the outcome was the same and in truth it could easily have been worse.

Kaoru Mitoma's winner came after two Liverpool players - Ibrahima Konate and Fabinho - somehow avoided red cards. Konate, already on a yellow, should have been off for his last-man barge on Alexis Mac Allister. Fabinho's lunge on Evan Ferguson was even uglier.”

Liverpool look like they are falling apart while Brighton's brilliant season keeps getting better - FA Cup hits and misses

We pick out some of the big talking points from the weekends FA Cup action, starting with Liverpools exit against Brighton and including Antonys performance for Man Utd against Reading and Heung-Min Sons double against Preston North End

So no one in the room asked him about those challenges?
 
So what’s going to happen with Liverpool then? Are they doing their usual having a season off after a heavy previous one to come back stronger next season? Or is this more of a permanent decline?

Selling Mane rather than Salah has ended up to be a complete disaster for them. Mane was a massive piece in the machinery that kept them pinning teams in with a high press, it looked like they were recruiting well bringing Jota and Diaz in as long term replacements for the front three, however injury has hampered the impact they should be having. Nunez hasn’t exactly set the world alight and it’s too early to judge Gapko.

I watched a bit of them on Sunday and their play looks laboured and lacks what they have done well over the last five years. They’ve stopped doing the punt out wide for their forward players to cut in on. Everything is sideways and backwards with no purpose.

They’ve let their squad get old at the same time and it takes a massive outlay and time to change it around again. They built a good side under Rodgers that went close and then had to spend a few seasons out of contention, are we going to see this again with Klopp, and will he stick around to manage a rebuild the way things are progressing for them?

What do you expect? They are bound to fall apart if they never spend any money

They do still have Diaz jota VVD to come back and we only about half through the season they still could make a late run for top four and with the helping hand they always get from officials they could still make top four
