Liverpool faces a nervy final week of the season after wasting the chance to secure Champions League qualification against Aston Villa on Friday.
Victory for the Reds would have secured a spot in next season's competition but Ollie Watkins ran riot to condemn Arne Slot's men to yet another defeat away from home.
The loss piles more pressure on Liverpool boss Arne Slot and the traveling fans made their feelings known as they left Villa Park well before the final whistle.
Slot insisted earlier in the week that he retains the backing of the board but with Xabi Alonso on the market, fans are calling for change. There is already one eye on next season with transfer rumors in full swing ahead of the summer window opening.
And Slot firmly believes that having a good summer in the transfer market will go a long way to fixing the ills of the last few months.
