READ MORE: What happened after Atalanta's third goal was justified as troubling Liverpool thought emergesBut if there was always going to be a point where juggling absences and constant changes would catch up with the Reds, it shouldn’t have been in this damaging manner.

Yes, this was only the second time this season Liverpool have failed to score. But recent evidence suggests the Reds are in danger of becoming blunt at precisely the wrong time.You’d have got long odds on Liverpool supporters being the first Premier League club on Merseyside to organise a protest against their owners this season.
