And it's such a difficult place to be given the success of this very same team last season.
explain on a weekly basis, as Stevie has to do, why things continue to go wrong.
But if you just watch this game today in particular, and you didn't know about their struggles over the course of the season, it would be easy to understand why they have been so inconsistent.
Their inability to complete passes with precision in the final third, their inability to move ahead of the ball,
And once they get into tight areas, that those quick combinations actually amount to anything productive.
Their inability to make the correct decision when they're isolated in one-on-one situations in wide areas.
Please, somebody get the ball and get after a defender.
They turn away from it and they pass the ball backwards.
And then how vulnerable they are to one or two passes being completed out of pressure by the opposing team.
And now Liverpool are depending on Konate or Van Dijk or somebody with a sliding challenge filled with desperation to try to salvage something.
This team is far, far, and I don't have to say this to Silvio because he knows it, is far from what the expectations were coming into the season.
And now, now that the expectations have changed dramatically, they're still far from where they need to be in order to somehow salvage a season that seems otherwise lost.
I think by now, Stevie has gone through the threshold of being angry and how now it reminds me when my mum used to get angry with me and when she said, I'm not angry, I'm disappointed.
Yes, yes, it's like, you know, it's not even anger anymore because you can only get angry so many times.
