Rúben Neves had just put Wolves three up and their supporters were entitled to crow as they wished. The away dugout was as good a target as any: Jürgen Klopp was hardly going to answer back and “you’re getting sacked in the morning”, a taunt as old as time but stinging nonetheless, chorused down in his direction.
Their prediction will not come true but that will be the only positive Klopp can muster. This is now a crisis and there will be no easy way out for Liverpool, who simply let this game happen to them and were two goals behind before they discovered even the ghost of any fluency. Thudding defeats at Brentford, Brighton and Molineux might all be excused in isolation but when they occur in the space of five weeks, with nine goals conceded and one scored, the pattern is inescapable.
