Liverpool verdict - Watford make mockery of opposition jibes but no mitigation for Jurgen Klopp in defeat

Liverpool lose their unbeaten run with a chastening 3-0 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road
Liverpool defeats have been sighted less than Hallie's Comet in recent times, but this chastening setback was nothing less than they deserved.
This shrill shriek will be the unwanted wake-up call for those dreaming of Liverpool invincibility as a jarring 3-0 loss contrasted with everything that had preceded it in the Premier League since August.
On a deeply disappointing night in Hertfordshire, the Reds carelessly frittered away a 44-game unbeaten run that stretched back to January 2019 as they were comprehensively swept aside by Nigel Pearson's Watford.
After just one reverse in the 65 Premier League games previous, the Reds saw their L tally double over the course of deeply dispiriting 90 minutes here. Make no mistake, this was as poor as it has been for years under Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds manager had no mitigation to point to as he congratulated Pearson's side post match.

Liverpool's season so far: August

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe.
