That's got to be alarm bells.

When he was making those mistakes that you were talking about previously, and he was still scoring important goals...

He knew.

He's always been the same.

Let me put it that way.

He's always been the same.

He was the same when he was in Switzerland.

He was the same when he was in Chelsea.

He just didn't have those moments going forward at Chelsea that he's had at Liverpool for eight or nine years.

And so when he used to give the ball away, it didn't affect his confidence because he knew he could still pick the top corners out.

He could still run past people.

He could still score these goals and make these assists.

But now, and there's nothing worse for a footballer when you realise...

You're losing things, and you're not quite sure why.

But it affects every single thing you do.

So now when he's given it away, it's just chipping away at his confidence as well.

That confidence looks as though it's shot.

Because any time he gets into any sort of position where he used to pick the top corner out,

Can't get anywhere close anymore.

This was the perfect away performance.
