If Kenny Dalglish didn't know the scale of the problem at Liverpool before he joined as temporary manager last week, then he surely knows now.
Dalglish's Liverpool have now been knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United and beaten (for the second time this season) by Blackpool in the space of four days. The once mighty Reds now sit 13th in the table, only four points off the drop zone, and a mere five points off the bottom of the table.
Liverpool's away record in the league is abysmal: won 1, drawn 2, lost 8, scored 8, conceded 21.
After last night's defeat Dalglish said: "The effort, commitment and desire is there. But sometimes it doesn't matter how good the player is, you need belief. We'll work hard on giving them that."
Next up for Liverpool is the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Sunday. The pressure doesn't let up!
Meanwhile Ian Holloway's perennial underdogs Blackpool have now reached 28 points, and it is traditionally held that 40 points will make you safe in the Premier League. Twelve points required from 18 games - they might just make it!
