The Reds failed to muster a shot on target in the first half, and though they did manage two in the second, a double from Solly March and a late strike from Danny Welbeck gave Albion a surprisingly easy win.

With Klopp having previously admitted that signings to add to that of Cody Gakpo earlier in January are unlikely, the Reds are teetering on the brink of a crisis.
