On an afternoon that was essential for the Reds to build on their positive start to the season, they completely failed to do so – taking a huge backward step against West Ham.

It was a miserable afternoon from start to finish at Anfield – with Brendan Rodgers’ side showing nothing of the defensive resilience or attacking threat that was evident in Monday’s draw at the Emirates.

It is a golden opportunity missed for the Reds to position themselves nicely ahead of a trip to Old Trafford after the international break, which now has a completely different complexion to it.

The comprehensive 3-0 loss – which saw the Hammers win on Merseyside for the first time since 1963 – leaves the Reds with seven points to show from their first four games this season.

Here is how social media reacted to the game:

[pull_quote_center]How much have we spent on strikers and defenders in the past few years? Yet we still can’t defend or score[/pull_quote_center]
