Liverpool slipped to their first away loss of the season as Arne Slot's side shot themselves in the foot with an error strewn first half horror show that left them with too much to do after the break.

There's a hell of a lot to get through here, and Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor...
