Liverpool were absolutely shocking as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at Brighton on Saturday, with Jurgen Klopp clearly struggling to stop the rot in his squad.

Heading to the Amex as underdogs, given their struggle for form and mounting injuries, Klopp set his side up in a slightly different shape, with Thiago as a No. 10 in a 4-2-3-1.
Cody Gakpo led the line as central striker on his Premier League debut, but all the traffic went the other way in the early stages as Brighton dominated – as, sadly, expected.

Within a minute of the restart – and with no changes to either side – Liverpool were deservedly behind, with Matip at fault as Mitoma raced through and set March up for a toe-poked opener.

March made it 2-0 with an exceptional finish soon after, with Evan Ferguson playing the perfect ball for his team-mate as Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold both watched him drive into the space and fire home.ThisIsAnfield
