For the reigning champions of England, the defeat against Eindhoven was the 9th suffered in the last 12 matches played in all competitions of the season. The worst crisis in the last 72 years, more precisely from November 1953 to January 1954.

The last time, 72 years ago, Liverpool was relegated!

In that season 1953 – 1954, Liverpool was relegated for the last time from the Premier League – remembers the tabloid The Sun, as if to increase even more the concern of the fans of a team that does not manage to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

In such a moment, the former great player of the “Cormorants”, Steven Gerrard, also added salt to the fire. Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, the former England international, now 45, said: “Every defeat, especially the way you suffered it, brings you closer to the crisis.

I don't like to use that word because, as far as I'm concerned, a crisis is when a club needs a year to get back to the top, and I don't think Liverpool have reached that point. They still have magnificent players and most of this team won the championship. I think that “crisis” is too strong a word”.

Steven Gerrard: “If the manager doesn't find answers and stability in the team, the failures will continue”

Then, “Stevie G,” as fans call him, commented on the team's losing streak. “There's no excuse for that at this football club. Everyone knows that. You can't deny that this team is struggling massively, they're in a terrible time, confidence is at an all-time low and it's still bleeding.

They keep conceding goals, they're like an open gate and if the manager doesn't find answers and stability in the team, the failures will continue,” concluded Steven Gerrard.

Dennis Man was rated 7: “He was the least effective of PSV Eindhoven's attack”

Used for 89 minutes against Liverpool, Dennis Man scored 7 in the daily Voetbal Primeur, the lowest in the team, tied with goalkeeper Matej Kovar, left-back Salah-Eddine and midfielders Joey Veerman and Ismael Saibari.

“He was the least effective of PSV's attack, but still very good. He also showed at Anfield that his transfer was an inspired choice,” wrote the Dutch.
