Liverpool have now suffered nine defeats in their last 12 matches after being dismantled by PSV Eindhoven at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Curtis Jones delivered a brutally honest, expletive-laced assessment of his side following yet another dismal performance.<\/p>\n
The Reds were thrashed 4-1 in Wednesday night\u2019s Champions League clash, just days after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. Despite recently beating Real Madrid in Europe, Liverpool once again collapsed when it mattered.<\/p>\n
PSV went ahead early through an Ivan Perisic penalty after Virgil van Dijk conceded a handball. Although Dominik Szoboszlai briefly pulled Liverpool level, Arne Slot\u2019s team fell apart after the break, with Guus Til scoring before Couhaib Driouech added two more.<\/p>\n
The defeat means Liverpool have shipped seven goals in their last two home games and 16 across their previous seven fixtures in all competitions \u2014 a sign of a team quickly losing confidence.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media afterwards, a furious and dejected Curtis Jones didn\u2019t hold back, admitting the team \u201care in the s***\u201d and calling the situation \u201cunacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t have the answers,\u201d he told RT\u00c9 Sport. \u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable. I\u2019m past being angry or sad \u2014 I don\u2019t even have the words for this.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a player and a fan. I haven\u2019t seen a Liverpool team play this badly for as long as I can remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones insisted the players must keep fighting: \u201cWe\u2019ve still got that badge on our chest, and until that changes we have to work to get this team back where it belongs. But right now, we\u2019re in the s**t and it needs to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite a summer spend of over \u00a3400 million, Liverpool are enduring their worst run of form since 1950, with the pressure intensifying on Arne Slot \u2014 and a new favourite emerging to replace him.<\/p>\n
Slot told TNT Sports he wanted to remain positive, highlighting the team\u2019s reaction after going a goal behind, but admitted they must \u201cface where we are and fight really hard\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sitting 13th in their Champions League group after five matches and 12th in the Premier League, Liverpool now prepare to visit West Ham on Sunday in desperate need of a turnaround.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
