Liverpool

Liverpool struggled in midfield as Brighton took advantage with a shock 3-0 win over Jurgen Klopp's side.

He was booked for a foul on [Moises Caicedo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/289877/Moisés-Caicedo) in the first half and eventually substituted. Impressed when helping out Trent [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) with the threat of Mitoma, though he could have been better for Brighton's first goal. The teenager tried to make things happen when he had possession but didn't make an impact. It wasn't clear what benefit he was adding to the side. [Ben Doak](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/332948/Ben-Doak), 6 -- A difficult match to come into. He was sometimes slow to track runs in behind, but defended well in isolated situations. [Jordan Henderson](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/127262/Jordan-Henderson), 4 -- Careless with passing and slow to react to the danger. 5 -- Klopp could have improved his midfield selection by including Naby Keita, but it's not clear what he could have done to change the game with four first-team attackers out through injury. Liverpool's best of a bad bunch. This was one of Liverpool's worst performances of the season. Things got worse when March produced an excellent strike six minutes later to double the lead.

Liverpool's hopes of Champions League qualification took a blow after it was thrashed at Brighton 3-0.

Starting Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain over Naby Keita and Fabio Carvalho every week is unacceptable when they are putting out performances like ...

This manager can not have the status he deserves under this It's time to take our club back, a club built on success and striving to become the best. We can no longer allow this club to be dragged back to the mediocrity days. When you are already playing catchup, that is the worst situation to be in. Showed so much promise at the start of the season and now has to sit there and watch this garbage. Instead, we find ourselves back in the position we were pre-Klopp. That sums up where this team is. It hurts to say this but those two leaving wouldn't be a bad option at the moment. It wasn't until the 70th minute when things were changed today. Jordan Henderson, an incredible servant for this club, but if I have to see another punt up into the air one more time, I may lose it. Some of the players in today's starting XI are finished. Yes, we know you can only play with what you have got.
