Another defensive meltdown condemns Liverpool to third straight Premier League defeat

Liverpool's defense of its Premier League title is rapidly evaporating after yet another calamitous defensive performance condemned Jurgen Klopp's side to a third consecutive defeat.

Things had looked promising early on, as Liverpool outplayed Leicester for much of the game and looked to have found some form after two disastrous displays against Brighton and Manchester City.
Mo Salah gave the Reds a deserved lead after the hour mark, only for Liverpool's backline to totally capitulate in the closing stages and gift Leicester three goals in the space of eight minutes.

James Maddison drew Leicester level directly from a free-kick, though Liverpool questioned the VAR decision to allow it to stand after it appeared Daniel Amartey had attempted to play the ball while in an offside position.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson then collided with new teammate Ozan Kabak three minutes later to gift Jamie Vardy an open goal.

Klopp had suggested that Alisson's errors against Manchester City last Sunday could be attributed to cold feet, though perhaps today's blunder would be better attributed to brain freeze on a cold afternoon in the Midlands.
Liverpool's porous defense allowed Harvey Barnes in behind the slot home and secure an emphatic 3-1 win for a Leicester side that looked second best for much of the game.
The defeat leaves Liverpool in fourth place in the Premier League, but in danger of dropping as low as ninth should the teams below them all win their games in hand.
After the game, Klopp was unhappy with where VAR had stopped the video to check for offside and where the line for his attacking players at been drawn."We conceded a goal, which is a really tough one to take," Klopp told BT Sport of Maddison's equalizer. "I know we discussed a lot about VAR, but I think we all agree it was a turning point in the game.
"I saw the goal a couple of times now and the moment when they stop the situation to see who is offside, he (Maddison) didn't even touch the ball yet, so that means it's still an individual decision of somebody who makes the (call).
"For me it looks like a clear offside because he has to touch the ball, that's the moment when offside is yes or no. Bobby's (Firmino) foot should obviously be a little bit closer -- and whatever they (VAR) throw in there."The second goal is a misunderstanding. We spoke before about getting used to each other -- we were used to each other until the goal happened. Yes they were one position ahead of us ... but on the pitch that was not obvious, we were the clear, dominant side."
It may be too soon to suggest Liverpool is in crisis, but things are unlikely to get much easier with difficult matches against RB Leipzig and bitter rival Everton up next.Bayern Munich claimed a sixth trophy in 12 months with a 1-0 victory over the Tigres in the Club World Cup final.

Benjamin Pavard's second-half goal ensured the German side continues its remarkable run under Hansi Flick, adding to the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and three domestic titles all won in the space of a year -- an achievement only previously matched by Barcelona in 2009.
As expected, Bayern enjoyed far more attacking chances than Mexican side Tigres, the first CONCACAF side to reach the Club World Cup final, at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.Robert Lewandowski was initially deemed to be offside in the buildup to Pavard's strike into an open net, but a video assistant referee review revealed that Carlos Salcedo's heel had put the striker onside."We just wanted to win today," Lewandowski said in his post-match interview. "I said at halftime we needed to cross, and that's how the goal came. It's a great story."
Bayern, which defeated Egypt's Al Ahly 2-0 in the semifinals, was without Jerome Boateng, absent through personal reasons, and Thomas Muller, who returned a positive coronavirus test ahead of the game.
Joshua Kimmich seemed to have given Bayern the lead at 18 minutes with a booming shot into the bottom corner, but the goal was disallowed after Lewandowski was called offside despite not touching the ball.
Leroy Sane then hit the outside of the post after a quick corner, meaning it stayed goalless at halftime.
After Pavard's opener, Bayern had further chances to extend its lead, as Corentin Tolisso's shot was saved onto the post by Nahual Guzman and Salcedo almost headed into his own goal after a mix-up with Guzman.Substitute Douglas Costa also had opportunities late on, but the score remained 1-0 and Bayern had yet another piece of silverware.
It's the second time Bayern has won the Club World Cup, which pits continental champions against each another in a knockout tournament, after victory in 2013."I was 14 and I let it go (...). I was 14, I knew and didn't say anything."
"My stepfather would come into my brother's room. I could hear his footsteps in the hallway and knew he was joining him. In this silence, I imagined things. That he was asking my brother to stroke him maybe, to suck him.
"I was waiting. I was waiting for him to come out of the room, full of unfamiliar and immediately despised smells," the book's author, 45-year old lawyer Camille Kouchner, wrote. "By not naming what was happening, I participated in the incest."
