Yesterday Liverpool faced the team most capable of taking them apart and it was no surprise that Liverpool got a football lesson ending in a thrashing. Butit's about time scouse fans binned the ridiculous excuses and faced the facts that since the world cup their team hasn't played anyone particularly good and, though their home form isn't bad, their away form is hopelessly disastrous. It is, in fact, relegation form and we saw why in glorious technicolour yesterday.

We have had the more obvious explanations put forward as excuses recently but yesterday they were all exposed by a great team playing near its best even without Haaland and Foden. In contrast we are told Liverpool need to refresh the midfield! In fact they need a new team. Liverpool always depended largely on their front three, a workaholic midfield and a tight central defence which allowed wing backs to get forward. Very much a counter attacking team. Now they have none of this.

Salah is still a force and got his goal yesterday but was taken off largely because he rarely got into the game otherwise. Jota seems to be struggling to get over his injury and struggles for confidence, Luis has been injured for a long time, Gakpo certainly is no replacement for Mane and if you have to bring Nunez on to shoot straight you really are in trouble. And behind the forwards? Henderson always lacked creativity but now his workrate fades as the game progresses, Fabinho is even late for his fouls now (though they are as regular as ever and begin earlier in the match - he was clearly targeted as a weakness yesterday) and Elliott seems way short of top class. Most observers seem to have woken up to the fact that TAA isn't even a bad full back and he can't play anywhere else, Robertson probably doesn't deserve too much criticism but he ends up miles upfield when attacks break down because VVD is a shadow of what he was and I would have loved to see him trying to deal with Haaland's pace. Actually, he never got to grips with Alvarez! But none of that back four got anywhere near our front three!

Anyway, it was good to see the Liverpool fans get the performance they richly deserve from their team and I hope they enjoy several more this season because they are the most sporting and humorous fans in the world, la.

Did I hear right yesterday, it's 30 games without a goal now for Jota?

To be fair, he started off like a house on fire when he went there.

7 goals in his first 10 appearances

First Liverpool player to score in his first 4 home PL games.

But other sides seem to have got wise to him since.

I only remember him for chucking himself into a keeper and "winning a penalty" from VAR

Looking at Transfermarkt he last scored April 10th 2022 against us. Can he go a year without scoring?!?

He's played in 32 matches since then... no goals, 11 assists.

Not sure it can be quite as simple as that. He was still scoring at quite the rate up till early April in his second season. He had 21 goals that season, but nothing since in 30 games. Could well be injuries catching up with him, or just part of the general Liverpool problems.

Why is it that every time lfc take a major beating like yesterday that they have to create a diversion tactics, something where they are victims...

RM beat them - It was Ramos
RM beat them again - It was the Paris police
City beat them - Bus attacked
Lose the title - too many injuries


So sad that their media fanbase set up these narratives. But there again, the last thing lfc will do is look at themselves, and long may that continue.
