Fab four fail, ref gives Baggies the bail: 5 talking points from Liverpool vs West Brom 

#1 Are Liverpool back to square one?

Liverpool have drawn too many games

Having dropped four points in two games, Liverpool are now outside the top four by virtue of goal difference. The upcoming fixtures won’t make it any easy considering both will be away from home.

First, Liverpool travel to Bournemouth. Judging by the way the Cherries played against Manchester United, Liverpool will have a stern test. If they manage to get past them, there’s the small matter of taking on Arsenal, who will be out for revenge following the 4-0 mauling at Anfield earlier in the season.

Last season, Liverpool’s season took a nosedive around January. Judging by the way things are transpiring right now, Klopp’s side might have already started their lean patch. That, coupled with the fact that Spurs are doing well means Liverpool have it all to do if they are to play Champions League football next season.
