The title says it all really.
I didn't see yesterday's games so I'm not fit to comment on the various performances of players but needless to say to lose at home to a Championship side, a struggling Championship side is absolutely unacceptable for Liverpool Football Club.
Everyone shoulders the blame for this - the manager and the players. This shouldn't have been a problem. This should have been preparation for the big one on Tuesday and an easy passage into the quarter finals of the FA Cup instead it was a nightmare.
The worst possible defeat was confirmed in stoppage time by a fine goal but a preventable one had certain players got their act together. But then they haven't had our act together for quite some time.
As Jamie Carragher alludes to in today's Times this is a rot, not a bad spell. It's a sustained period of below par performance that has well and truly wrecked what had long ago, back in September promised to be a great season.
All our hopes now rest on Tuesday's Champions League tie at Anfield against Inter Milan, the best side in Europe at present, a side who have lost just one of their last 60 odd Serie A games. It is only the first leg but anything other than a win will probably mean we exit the competition at the San Siro next month.
And then it's a battle for a fourth place and for Rafa Benitez a battle for his job and that's the harsh reality we now face. No pressure then...
