Liverpool repetitively on the receiving end of a team undergoing a managerial change. Swansea, Hull City and now, previously out of order, Leicester City.
What to make of a defense unable to stop any type of threat? A set-piece, a cross into the box and hit on the break. Liverpool’s defense had no answer for any of Leicester’s attacks.
A little something of a rally started? A little too late to get something going. Adam Lallana’s substitution came a bit too late, together with the change in formation to take the game to the home team.
Set-pieces for Liverpool have become a potential goal for the opposition. We have no presences in the box. Corners were directly handed to blue shirts and not a red shirt in sight to where the ball was placed.

Poor would be putting it mildly for the players on the pitch. Liverpool’s inability to play off the last man, has become a crisis and has been for a while.
Plan B was deployed, but done with poor execution. We have nothing to take from this game. This is where the league shifts up and takes the bend for the final straight.
We cannot afford to go down against any teams in the situation we put ourselves in. As each game is and was supposed to be treated as a final.
With only the league campaign to worry about, you expect more from the Reds.
