Oh dear.
Liverpool fans had their concerns before the game when the starting XI was announced. They were worried that Jurgen Klopp was resting players for what was perhaps their best remaining chance of silverware this season.
Alas their biggest fears were realised against Wolves in the FA Cup far earlier than they would have anticipated – within a minute to be exact.
With many still finding their seats in ‘Fortress Anfield’, a Helder Costa free-kick found the head of Richard Stearman in the penalty area as he easily nodded home past Karius. It was terrible defending from a disjointed Liverpool defence.
To say that the watching fans were alarmed by the start is an understatement…

Matters worsened considerably when Andreas Weimann slotted home after a sweeping Wolves move to make it 2-0.
Flipping disaster…

Perhaps the wind will change in the second half…
