Liverpool made it to the Carabao Cup final, pushed a magnificent Paris Saint-Germain team all the way in the Champions League and, until Sunday, had gone 26 Premier League matches unbeaten.

And yet, the Reds have been questioned in recent weeks after timid displays against Fulham and Newcastle United have coincided with underwhelming 45-minute showings against Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanders of late, plus an abject showing in Paris where somehow Liverpool managed to come away with a victory.

Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk rightly bristled when asked whether “just” winning the Premier League title should be deemed a successful season.

Liverpool struggled at Fulham as it lost 3-2.

Liverpool were overawed by Marco Silva’s team, dominated for an hour either side of half-time, with a sense of frantic chaos evident that hasn’t been witnessed before this season.

The record for most goals in a single Premier League season is surely gone, while the assists record is also under threat now.

Unsurprisingly there were signs of frustration from Curtis Jones when the Egyptian didn’t track back at Craven Cottage, while Van Dijk slamming the ball to the ground and Slot almost running from the dugout at half-time indicated how furious Liverpool was beneath the surface on Sunday.
