Understandably so given the manner of their performance, which was abject from beginning to end. They showed a little bit of resistance during the first 20 minutes of the second half, to be fair, but that’s an exercise in straw clutching. Their visit to Arsenal on Saturday lunchtime might be their last chance of keeping their increasingly slim top-four hopes alive. Liverpool by contrast were magnificent, Thiago in particular in his pomp, a brief period of complacency the only black mark against the team’s overall performance. Jurgen Klopp’s side go top of the league, for 24 hours at least. It’s over to Manchester City, who host Brighton tomorrow evening.
