What frustrates me so is watching the game slip away from us, reading the posts on here demanding a substitution, sympathising with the fans who are obviously frustrated and demanding the same. Then the camera pans to Poch, sitting there impassively and doggedly determined to see things through no matter what happens.
Lucas Moura being brought on with just minutes left and then presumably being chastised afterwards for not changing the game. Eriksen being given 88 minutes playing time and just pissing them up the wall. Rose turning himself into a red card waiting to happen and Aurier having yet another brain implosion regarding the penalty.
How many of us seeing the 'cast' for this particular performance could have written the script, apart from the first goal which Harry put away with suitable top striker's aplomb.
The only people celebrating tonight's result are Liverpool supporters, there is nobody in here gloating or gaining any satisfaction from this scoreline. We enter the bottom half for the first time since 2015. I stated months ago that where we found ourselves in the league after this match would be a good indicator of how we truly are performance wise. I stand by that statement.
It's time to make contingency plans and prepare for a cold, cold Christmas.
