The biggest mystery of 2020 has been revealed after Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup by Chelsea in the fifth round.
Honestly man, what the hell is going on? From invincible to three losses in four, the Reds are crumbling around themselves and that’s started to show the biggest mystery of 2020.
Aside from the form of Fabinho, which is the second biggest mystery of 2020, the lack of intensity and fight and electricity of which Liverpool have been playing is almost inexplicable and you can’t just put it down to the absence of Jordan Henderson.
The writing has been on the wall for a while now. We barely got past Norwich City, needed a God-like intervention from Trent Alexander-Arnold to beat a poor West Ham managed by David Moyes, who doesn’t beat big sides.

In between came that loss at Atletico Madrid in which Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target and then Watford executed their game plan perfectly at Vicarage Road to win 3-0.
What the hell is going on!?
The Mentality Monsters have had the light shone on them and they’ve scuttled out from under the bed. Liverpool were unable to turn it around in Madrid, London and at Stamford Bridge and that doesn’t bode very well.
All of a sudden, the game against Bournemouth looks a lot bigger. It would normally be a matter of course for Liverpool to trot out and come away with a fairly routine three points, but a win against the Cherries is now vital in order to stop the rot.
The Reds will win the Premier League this season, but another loss here makes this a prolonged spell of bad form and a serious headache for Jurgen Klopp. A win turns it into a blip, a little statistical anomaly on the road to domestic domination.
But whatever it turns out to be, there’s one thing for sure. It’s the biggest mystery of 2020.
